I did. First uploaded my photo direct but it said the image was too big. Then I tried to create links through different sources such as Facebook and Google Drive, also failed. May I know how I can upload pictures as the other members do?

All users here based on the user guide for their upload.

Upload photo as attachment has a limitation of photo size of 200K per photo for HKBWS member (but 100K only for non-member forum user).   So re-size your photo to below 200K first.

If using link, please make sure you link is the URL, which can be obtained by right-click your photo in your online album. It's not the link copied from your browser.   If you're not sure, please PM me the URL.

Hope that it helps.

Hi, this is my experience for uploading my son's pictures last night for your easy reference.

Steps:
1)Upload the pic to the Facebook;
2)Download it to your computer from the Facebook;
3)Upload it to the Forum; and
4)If the size of the pic is still over 200kb, screenshot your pic in your cell phone, corp the bird, save it to your Gallery and then repeat Steps 1-3.

Honestly speaking, the quality of the pics are far from satisfaction, but I consider them quite successfully since they were taken by a 7-year old boy who has used the camera for 3 times only.

Hope the above experience is useful.

Have a nice day

Thank you to you all!
I created an account in Flickr and successfully made my first attempt to upload 2 photos
