When I attach an image from my laptop...no issues. It appears exactly as I want it to appear.

When I attach an image from an iOS device, the image is tiny and blurry.

Whattup with that?

Could it be the resolution and size of the image needs to be adjusted somewhere or you are inadvertently using thumbnail images?

I see an image, save it as is, and it looks absolutely fine when I view it in the album. It’s when I attach it to a post that everything goes to hell. My methods for attaching images seem exactly the same on both a laptop and my iPad/iPhone.
 
It's probably for the best.

I have the same issue. I don’t use the desktop much anymore. Also images from the iPhone or iPad will be oriented properly on the device and then goe 90 degrees when uploaded.

Screen grabs are also blurry and small......


On another topic, there is still random gibberish replacing quotation marks and apostrophes in original text?

The original resolution is 2802 x 3351. I cant tell what the posted picture resolution is. I think I-OS is compressing the picture or reducing the resolution.

The attached image from the ios device is 401x480. From the desktop it's 898x1074. So at first glance it seems like dp is shrinking the image, but from an ios device it's getting shrunk by a little over twice as much.

I wonder if the IOS and the image uploader are both shrinking the image separately, or if its an IOS image storage quirk.

I don't see how it would be an ios storage issue if the image looks perfect in the photo album. As Xilnik said, it's DP that seems to be compressing them differently, though I have no idea why.

What app are you using to view the forum on your IOS device?

I'm going to do a couple different things and see what happens: change the browser ID on my browser, and of course change the browser...

Good luck.
 
Browser ID changed to Firefox 70 (mac):

Nope, that’s not it.

Browser ID changed to Chrome 74 (windows):

No dice there either.

Attached using mobile Firefox browser instead of iCab:
