How to post pics from iPhone to this forum
« on: March 23, 2013, 09:02:40 AM »
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share an easy way to share your great pics with an easy way to post multiple images to the forum from your iPhone.

Firstly set up a Photobucket account (a great way to store your images)
http://www.photobucket.com/

Secondly grab the photobucket iPhone app

Then it's just a matter of following the steps
Access the photobucket app




The method of uploading is pretty simple so I'm not including those steps
Once your image is uploaded, select Library and then tap on the image you want to share and then tap on the "i" in the bottom right hand corner




Then you'll be given a list of codes and links. You want the bottom one which starts with [ img ]
Simply Tap on the line to copy the code.




So then it's just a matter of opening the forum up in your safari app. Navigate your way to the forum thread you want to post in




Then in hold your finger down in the reply box you'll get a menu appear and then it's a matter of pressing paste.



This method allows you to post full sized images. You want to post more then one at a time, before pressing the post button just press the home button on your phone and go back to the photobucket app and get the code for the next image, then hit the home button and go back to safari which keeps your page ready until your done and hit post.

Hope this helps

Marcus, what iPhone are you using for this?, because I have a 3GS and this doesn't seem to want to work for me.

I downloaded Photobucket as required, went to photos, picked a photo to transfer but then, instead of seeing four icons at the bottom of the screen, the right-hand one being the 'i', I got only two, the arrow in the directory on the left and a simple right triangle in the middle...nothing to the right. So I suspect that this might be a limitation of the 3GS. :think1
Cheers,
Paul

Did you make sure your photobucket account is linked to your iPhone app?

iPhone is a v4 fully updated to software 6.1.3
