There’s a thread on how to do it on here somewhere. I think the file from the iPhone will be too big and will need shrinking/resizing. There are apps to do that but I find it a real mind boggling fiddle. The easiest way is if you have a windows pc. Copy the photo to the pc then open it with paint. Select resize, select pixels rather than percentages and then put 650 in the top box (the bottom box will change automatically). And then save as - jpeg - to save it to your pc. This resizes your photo to fit the forum anf it will upload easily.

To then upload you click on “go advanced “ at the bottom of the message box. Then click “manage attachments”. A window opens that lets you upload the file. When it’s uploaded, close that window, go back to your message box and the paper lip and select “insert”. This will insert some text on your message box. When you click on post reply to submit the message, the photo will appear in the message box.
