I really would like to share photos of my 110g in wall tank build but I find the forms here does not support uploading photos via iPad or iPhone.

Maybe I just haven't figured it out or there might be a free app? It would be nice if we can support mobile devices since they are getting more popular.

Thanks

P.s: I know i can use my desktop or upload to photo sharing sites but when you have kids and 1,000 other things on the go it is hard.

I highly recommend http://imgur.com/, it's basically just a photo dump site, and completely anonymous, no account needed.

Use the "imgupr" app on your phone, upload the pic, copy the URL from the app, then you can just link to the pics here with the IMG tag like so:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/blahblah.jpg[/img]

(the url will really be that short, so it's very easy to manage on a small screen)

Umm.. Just get the Tapatalk app on your iPhonepad...  You take a picture directly into your post, set the size as you are uploading - and it's seamlessly stored on a tapatalk site somewhere.

I used it for the first time a few days back in this thread:
http://ovas.ca/forum/index.php?topic=54784.0

the link to the photo is http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/24/ja9a9u7e.jpg

(and I didn't have to insert that link myself)

...or this if you want to pay money. I personally don't think it's worth $10.

Nevermind, I just looked again and it's only $2.99 now... I was sure it was $9.99 before.

Yep, that's the way to do it  8)

Hmm.. I've had the app so long that I had forgotten that I paid anything for it. :)  Yeah, if you can spare the $2.99, grab the app.  Most forums I've visited support Tapatalk...

Is the forum still supported on Tapatalk? I'm on an android and doesn't seem to be working all that often. "Received from client a compressed HTTP and cannot decompress" is what I get. Wondering if its just my device or is it an OS thing. Thanks!

I'm on Android and both 4.1.1 (Google Nexus) and 4.1.2 (Nexus 7) work flawlessly for me.
