Open Contest 2026 BYC Calendar Photo Contest - We Need Your Pictures!

[casportpony]

It depends. That photo was taken on another phone, I've just remembered, and sent over to me. Shall I find out what phone it was?

That would explain why it's too small. When a phone sends a picture, it resizes it. Can you get the phone that was used to take the picture and upload/attach it to a new post?

For age, would that be at the time the picture was taken, or current age?

For age, would that be at the time the picture was taken, or current age?

That's a great question! At the time the picture was taken would be best, I think.
