Hi everyone, someone pinged me to see if I could help her to post pictures to this thread via an Android/Chrome phone. Unfortunately, I am an iPhone user, so I’m not sure how to advise her.
On the iPhone, I find it easiest to use the Tapatalk app (I have the paid version). Are Android phone geeks using the app also, or do you have another easier/preferred method?
I’ve never tried using Tapatalk — on my Android phone, I’ve just used mobile Chrome to navigate the forum and post things. AFAIK, there’s no mobile version of the website, so you just have a very unwieldy UI, and attaching images is basically the same as on a desktop, it just requires lots of zooming in to press small buttons. I will say that I generally use a browser on my laptop to write things/post images if possible, it’s just nicer with a larger screen and real keyboard (but what isn’t?). It might be worth a try?
The process looks something like this (very similar to the desktop UX):
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22519[/ATTACH]
Press the “Insert Image” button
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22520[/ATTACH]
Press “Choose file” (then get sent to file browser or photos app or whatever)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22521[/ATTACH]
Select the image, then get sent back to the modal window you saw before, press “Upload file(s)”
Once the upload is complete, you’ll see some markup added, and so the body of your post will look something like this:

This is my pretend post.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]123456[/ATTACH] <-- this won't actually have that forward slash, I just couldn't figure out how to escape whatever triggers the tag parsing in a better way
More text can go here
That’ll insert the image at the location indicated by that tag in your post. Don’t delete it!
Add whatever else to your post and then submit it.
