Mobile photo upload issues

[zeekzeek]

When testing mobile photo uploads, i cam across a few usability issues:

a) the file sizes are large `3-6 mb.  is there a way to optimize the file upload sizes automatically when uploaded?

b) is there a way to have the images automatically rotate if the photo was taken in portrait mode?

Are users uploading photos to Forums as attachments or to Gallery as images? 

In general, you can use the ACP search bar for something like "attachment" to find settings.

it is to the forums. i looked at the attachment settings.

ok,

should I:

then have users use the gallery for photo uploads?

a third party image hosting site?

is there a third party invision community solution?

 

i hope a seasoned admin of a community can chime in.

b) Should already be happening, although a bug was reported with the functionality which is fixed in 4.5.

thanks. i'm running 4.4.10.  I will test it out once it's upgraded to 4.5
