How to add pics?

Post by prodigal »

Ok, how do you add pictures to the forum? Or, if there is a thread, please list it. Everyone likes pictures of tubas!

Thanks!

Do you want to do it with your phone or your laptop, and do you want to do it with or without uploading an app?
(I figured out a workaround -:without using an app - on my Android phone for one of the free picture hosting sites.)

you can use the attachment tab down below the text field you type into, but the photos have to be less than 200KB

I'd be interested in your workaround. I've only been able to host them from another site when on a computer and not a phone.

Google 'imgur upload"

Click on that.

Takes you to imgur's upload the page, bypassing imgur's home page, which would otherwise detect that you are using a phone instead of a computer.

Select a picture from your phone and do what it says.

At least if you have an Android phone, if you click on the picture you have the option of "picture preview" or something like that.

Click the preview thing.

Once you get there, there's an arrow pointing up into the right.

Click on that.

You have finally made it to the web page of the actual picture.

Copy of the URL and paste it into here with the IMG brackets around it.

The next time I do it, I'll pay really close attention and see if I've said any of this not quite correctly.
