I'm so sick of this site not working!
I stopped posting awhile ago because it take me 4 freaking hours to do a stupid little write up!

Last week I decided to do a write up on the new Flex Kompakt and FAIL!!!
My pics didn't upload and on the fourth time I tried just uploading 1 pic and it worked, so I have to upload ONE PIC AT A TIME?

Nope, I'm out!
So instead of getting a nice review of the new Flex you get this rant instead.

It's okay, really. I'll get over the disappointment of missing your product review.

This is why any long post I always copy it before pressing submit. I usually don't upload photos to Autogeek, not too big of a fan of the process plus its watermarked whereas photo bucket isn't.

I can not post pictures on Tapatalk I have to go to the actual autogeek application and then post pictures over there.

I upload all my videos and pictures separately first.
Then I write up my stuff in a "word" document so I cansave it if I need it later.
Then I copy and past it into my topic and modify it for colors or indent as needed. I copy the finished product back into my word document.
I use the "preview" function to make sure everything looks correct before posting.



I hope this helps.

I don't blame you for getting mad. Especially when you get smart ass replies when you're frustrated. I too can not post any pictures or an avatar on this website. This is the ONLY website that gives me trouble. It is not user friendly. I gave up trying. Not worth it!

You can ad me to the list of not be able to upload pics via AG's site reliably. It would work like once out of ten times. I was told the files were too big, not right, etc...

I'm sure if I was a computer genius - I could figure it out. But, I exclusively use TAPATALK on an iPad now and use their picture upload service with no issues.

So, for those having issues, I'd recommend TAPATALK on an iPad.

I put all my pictures on photobucket then use those links.

I use a 2013 MacBook Pro. Every other website I ever tried , I can post pictures with no issues. The Autogeek website says"Invalid Error " even to post a Avatar picture. My method works on Autopia with no issues. I do the exact same thing here. How do you explain that ?

This place uses standard BBcode. No issues here *other* than when my browser does something unfortunate. But I use an iOS device 99% of the time, and tabs auto-refreshing is a known issue with WebKit-based browsers. Type type type, go to the Picasaweb tab to grab the picture's URL, come back here to paste the link and the tab auto-refreshes, wiping out all the previous typing. I just have to remember to copy stuff to Notes as I go if I plan to create a lengthy post on any forums.
