Can anybody please help. :eyelashes:
I'm desperate to show piccies of my potato competition crop but when I press attachments the 'choose file' will not hilight to allow me to chose my photo file. :'(

You can't upload files from an iOS device (iPad or iPhone) from any website using standard web forms. It sucks, and Apple have never really explained exactly why... :-\
I'm working on making it possible to email photos to the TAS site from the Photos app and have them attach to a forum post or site comment, but it won't be ready any time soon. Our only alternative would be a TAS app or to use a third party forum app.
For now if you can email them to me ([email protected]) and I can post them on your behalf. :) Or use Flickr or similar and link to them.
-
I use Photobucket MammyShaz, since I can't post them on any forum I belong to with the iPad directly.
Photobucket is very simple for the technologically challenged (me!)
-
Oh no, that is not good. I've a stack of piccies I was keeping to show off. Big gsd with little kitten, new hen quarters, polytunnels just built etc.
We've been busy this year and I was looking forward to sharing our work once I sorted out how to place the piccies :-\ :-\
Thanks for the offer of the potato piccies dan. I will send them if you don't mind too much :eyelashes: :eyelashes:

Well, if you can bear the two part process, you load your iPad pics into Photobucket, then you post the IMG code Photobucket gives you into your post on here.
So you can do it, it's just a bit of a palaver.

Was typing while you posted jaykay. Do I download photo bucket as an app?? Sorry if I'm :dunce: I haven't got a clue. If not how or where do I find it :eyelashes:
-
Apparently iOS6 (due for release "in the autumn") will be able to upload photos using standard web forms. :thumbsup:
-
The way the weather is, this may be sooner than expected then :innocent:
-
Yes, you download it as an app :)
I hope that happens Dan :thumbsup: Mind you, I haven't installed the last update, as it loses half my stuff everytime. Since Apple are clever enough to avoid this happening (happens on the iPhone too) I can only conclude they don't care >:(
-
Well I've found it and downloaded it, just trying things out and hopefully :fc: :fc: will divulge in the art of photosharing tomorrow ;D
( you may just regret sharing this info jaykay :D :D but I love you for it :-* ;D )
-
Sorry, me again. Stuck :thinking:
Can Jaykay or anybody else in the know help explain how I post the IMG code into my post. Do I type the whole code into the post or is there another easier way?
Yes, I know, have a good :roflanim: at my :tired: for the last couple of weeks trying, just cannot figure it out myself :rant:
-
:excited: Avatar ? Where's my avatar
Anything now ? :rant: :rant:
Photo bucket keeps pasting address to board. Where's the b\€$¥ board?
Found an address on photo and typed. Still no avatar :rant: or photo
-
Did you sort the IMG thing.
Yes, you post the whole IMG code - just copy and paste.
Avatar?
-
Well? Do I have an avatar picci?? NO! :rant: :rant: hours and days and weeks.
Do I have a picky in my post? NO! :rant: :rant: oh I give up :tired:

MG I've just learned to copy and paste :excited: :excited: :excited:
-
Woahhhhh
I wsh I could do that, when you push it with your finger on the iPad it moves, it's like.. Real, thought there was a properly cut kitten in the lounge
-
Cute NOT cut - that would be WRONG
-
That is a cute kitten :love:
So, you can do pics in the post now :thumbsup:
As for avatars - I can only do that via Photobucket.
So, you go to your profile, then modify profile. The top bits then are about your avatar. Use the bit that says 'specify an picture by URL' or something similar, this time instead of copying the IMG code from Photobucket, you copy the 'direct link' code into that box, and hey presto, an avatar :-*
-
Ah, I've been trying to place IMG codes into there. I'll take your advice :fc: I'll have an avatar soon :excited:
-
I'm new, so this is very late, but I had to laugh, as I just had almost exactly the same conversation as you when trying to post pics of our pet rats to the Scottish Rat Club forum!! P.S. Where do I find the smilies?!
-
Gardenjeannie, do you mean the emotiocons like these :excited: :knit: :raining: :sunshine:
If so they should showing above the box that you respond in. You then just click on the ones that you want to use and they get inerted into your response where your cursor is.

Hurray :excited: :excited: just look left of this post. I've finally got an avatar :excited:
Took some working out how to copy and paste ::) but success today.
Today's technology's so way over my head ;D
