Title: Attaching images from phone?
Post by: jojonas~ on December 06, 2017, 08:28:38 PM
Has anyone found an easy way to get images that the forum accepts while on the phone?
I know it seems like a joke, but I almost only leisure surf on my phone. The laptop is either for bills or being used by another family member.

I'm using an iphone 4s

In case this is still a 'live' issue -- would it work to share it to Flickr (directly or via app) and then share from Flickr? -- although I think the app will only give you an image URL, not an embed code. A (phone) browser might be able to access the latter. But still probably a pain…

Well... maybe if you embed using the  "square bracket open"img"square bracket close"link "square bracket open"/img"square bracket close" format it would work?

yeah I would still have to upload to flickr as an extra step. I've done that but getting the image link or bbcode is a hassle. going into either the app or flickr site on the phone doesn't let you extract the bbcode right away so I tried http://tools.rackonly.com (http://tools.rackonly.com) as a middle step. turns out my iOS version has a problem with copying texts between apps so it takes a few tries to work.

That's why Apple products "just work" ;)

haha ;)

maybe I'll look for a quick and easy image compressor so I can get small enough files on the phone to actually upload here
