iPhone/iPad only:

The forum software uses the name of the file you upload and iPhone/iPad uses the same name, so you can only upload one picture.

I generally upload from my computer, to avoid this, but if you have a Google account too, you can "open" your photo in Google Drive, rename it, then use Chrome browser to post from there to the forum.

OTOH, if you save to Google Drive, you could link the file directly here :)

Does this apply to a Mac as well. I posted the photos of my last two cars using my Windows computer but I now have all Apple gear.

No, on the Mac, you're probably uploading from Photos and it uses the underlying filename, which [should] be unique. But one thing you can do is drag your picture to the desktop and rename it there. Makes it easier to spot the file in the forum file manager too :)

This was a pic that the dealer took on his I phone ...
Although I rotated it and saved it in different aspects it just wanted to show it wrong.
Apart from that there was an error message popping up saying the server could not handle the pix even though it did.

Anyway all sorted in the end.
Its just a problem with me and tecky things. Not to worry, but cheers!

Yes. The photo upload is just a normal html upload form. If the android web browser has access to your photo files/camera, then there shouldn't be a problem.
