Is there any other way ( other than dropbox or photobucket) to post pics on the site? I mostly use the iPad to visit OOF, can photos be uploaded using this?
-
you can use flickr as well but there is no other way of uploading them to the site
-
Imageshack works pretty well :)

For iDevices, I find Photobucket, along with the Photobucket free app to be a reasonably good solution :y
-
Photobucket ap for ipad/phone as said.
Picks photos straight out of your library, and copies them direct link straight to clip board afre uplooad ready to post [ img]In here[/img ] :y

Appologies guys, more help needed as im useless at this kind of thing.
Got the photo bucket app on iPad now, created a folder, how do I now put pics of the car in the folder?
And when I've done that, how do I get them onto OOF?

If you already have an existing Photobucket account you can still use the App to access that account.
If you open the Photobucket App you should see Upload Media on the bottom bar. Choose the photo from 'Choose Existing' menu (top left), upload, view photo and if you tap the info button (bottom right i), then tap the IMG code (it automatically copies it) and then paste the photo on the forum as normal. Others may have a different method but this works for me.

Nothing on bottom bar, theres 4 options to share, iv enabled the forum option...Mmm, it's asking me for a link code?? Am I on the right thing and if so what is the link code?
-
Or an HTML link? It's meandering Chinese to me this technology malarkey!! All I want to do is show off my new pride and joy! Why is EVERYTHING so complicated!!! >:(
Arrrgggghhh!!! The men in white coats are on their way apparently
-
This link shows a rough guide of what I was expecting you to see. I use the IMG code instead of the one shown in demo. There may be a clip on 'you tube' that shows how to do it as well.

Sorry cam, forgot you were on iPad. Above works for iPhone. :-[
For iPad Photobucket App:
Tap Photobucket App on ipad----->Photobucket front page should come up------->probably default to 'Find Stuff (bottom left)---->tap lower middle button (My Albums)------>tap arrow pointing up in upper right hand corner -------->choose upload source (photo library)------>tap camera roll------>select photo-------->when you tap this a box on the left says 'processing' -------->in 'My Album' tap photo ------>tap chain icon (upper right menu)------->tap IMG code------> it should say 'Copied'------>go to OOF and open new topic or open reply, depending on what you want to do----->tap in reply box/new topic box or whatever until 'Select/Select All/Paste' option appears on screen----->tap 'Paste' option----->go to 'Preview' and your photo should be there on screen. Type message as normal and jobs a goodun as they say. :y
Hope that makes sense. :y

Hi Alan, I'm up to the part where you say to tap on screen until the paste option comes up? It isn't.
The only thing that happens is the screen goes blue, I get a copy MSG at the top of the box, and that's all. I tapped that and after the message I had written in the box there was 2 of these ..[img]..... I thought that was my pics so posted. But can't be as there's no pics :(

Tried again, ok, so I've copied the image to clipboard in photobucket...opened a new topic in th OOF gallery......you then say to tap the new topic until select/select/all/paste comes up? It doesn't.
As its a new topic there's no reply button yet, and there's no select/paste option that I can see? Have I followed your instructions correctly??
Really sorry to be a pain, bugging the life outa me that I can't get pics up, and that the world and his wife seem to be able to without a problem.... Leaving me feeling very inadequate that I can't. Story of my life!! ;D ;D ;D

Right, let's take it a step at a time. :y I'm determined as well now. ;D
Have you got to the stage where you can tap the IMG link in Photobucket app and it says 'copied'?
If you have, you can either practice in 'Test Area' or open 'New Topic' in Gallery section if that's where you want to post the image.
As far as the forum part goes, open new topic, write in the new topic box 'My New Car' or whatever, go to the large reply box below (where you normally type your replies), tap the screen in that box and I would expect to see select/select all/paste. If not, we'll try to find out at what stage it's going wrong. :y

Alan

If you at the 'copied to clipboard' stage you must be nearly there. :y
I assume you saw this on your screen? Sorry the photo is big. Below is the 'copy paste' bit. If you have tapped on the IMG code (where it says copied to clipboard) you have done the Photobucket app part successfully. :y

You are so close if you have got this far.

You should have that made into a How To, YZ250!
-
Ok, following your instructions... I tapped the large box where I would normally write... I have now got the copy/ paste thing up.... But no image of the car

Does it not appear when you tap preview?

I did consider that actually. ;D ;D I just did the old favourite of mine, which is trying to type on a screen dump. ;D ;D
-
On photobucket.. I have tapped the pics I have and copied to clipboard, tapped the img option in the box that appears after I tap the paper clip logo at top of the page....
Now back to OOF, I have written my heading (my car) and tapped the box where I would write a post..... I now get the copy/ paste select options, but there is no image of the car in the box....
-
Think I've jumped the gun a bit Alan. Sorry. Realised the photo of your car was in the photo bucket explanation. Yes I've done that with mine, so I'm back to OOF now, and as said above I have the copy/ select option on he big box... Over to you... :y
-
You won't get a picture until you submit or preview, but you should see the [ IMG ]somecodestuffhere[ /IMG ] tags be inserted into your post..
-
Need to know what I do now that I've pressed on this box and the copy/ select option has come up though
-

Are you seeing copy/paste or select/select all/paste?
So you have done the part shown in reply #16 that comes up 'copied to clipboard' when you tap the IMG code in Photobucket app?
Second part is the lower part of that reply. As said above, you will not see a photo until you hit preview. It should appear in the preview box above.
Feel free to call me, pm on way. :y

Alan
Edit:
Would it help if I took screen shots of the whole process.
