I've just tried it. It looks a good quick fix if you're happy with one of their pre-selected sizes, and no need even to register.


Remember to view the _full-size_ version when the upload's done, then you can right click on that to copy its location for pasting in your forum ad.

Which on first trial I prefer to imageshack. More options too, including custom sizing, cropping and rotating. A page got stuck a couple of times in an unresponsive state and needed a quick reload, but it was generally very easy to use. It returned jpeg files smaller so probably a bit more compressed than my originals, but with no obvious loss in picture quality; a gif file slightly bigger; and it retained all colours.

Sorry to be really dim but I cannot attach a photo to a post directly from my mobile as it asks for the url.


I have only ever managed to attach photos to the forum that are already on the web. So do I need to send my photos to the web first (as I think the above posts are advising?) then click on the link? (I have no idea what size they are either)


If anyone can confirm this that would be great, cheers.

Katie, once the photo file's on or can be accessed by your computer's file system, press 'Attach a file or photo', then 'Browse' to select the file. 'Attach' then uploads it to the forum site and links it to your post.


If it's more convenient to upload the photo to another web site, you can do that instead, and then just include its URL within your message.

ianr - thanks a lot, I didn't even notice that text before (shoulda gone to specsavers!) :)


seems really easy to upload photos now although I was worried it would pick everything in my photos folder and you cannot preview what is being uploaded!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
