Has anyone found a phone app that works with the forum to tie your pictures to? To embed and not just show a link? I know many are using imgur and have thought about it also, but everything I read says it will not work to post pics using your phone. You still have to be on the computer. I tried google photos, but yet again...link and not embedded. I may have to settle for linked photos, but I'm one of those that many times will not push the link...especially if there are multiples. I like to scroll through the pics...I know, you can't always have it that way. lol. Just curious on what everyone is using and if in fact anyone is using an app on their phone to be able to post pics to the forum. I guess I'm really just trying to save a few steps.

Thanks guys!

I guess I get around the Imgur app limitation (for getting a BBcode, for direct image posting) by opening Imgur on my phone browser. Even the mobile web page version will allow access to multiple picture formats, including the BBcode. Hope that helps.

Hey thanks, I was reading alot of bad reviews on google play about the imgur app. These were recent reviews so I was a bit on the fence about getting it. Yes that helps alot. So you haven't had any trouble with the imgur service just using the mobile web page and not the app?

I posted this from my phone:


Notice the drop down box with the small green arrow. This is where you find the BBcode link.
And no, no trouble with the service. Easy to upload images (from phone directly or desktop) and easy to post into forum.
