"Not so Jim, my computer died long ago and I use an iPad and can upload pics w/o any problem. The images just need to be sized correctly. I use the e-mail method to reduce them."
"Jim. I upload photos via ipad and kindle with no probs. This on an ipad air 2."
Thanks Gents!! So, mobile uploading is a "size issue"? The image simply needs to be small enough. Yes, the e-mail it to yourself seems to be an easy way to resize a picture (because when the image is sent you're likely prompted what size do you wish to send).
This removes one "forum upgrade" issue from my mind - all is well.
