Anyone find a way to post photos to this board from a mobile device yet? Since the Photobucket redesign took away the ability on the iPhone, I can't find a replacement. Tried Flickr, Google drive, Amazon drive, Imugr, Dropbox, Box, Snapfish.

I use Google+ to host typically. Make a public post and then copy/paste the source...

I can do it on Flickr but it's a pain. You have to find the download button and click on the All Sizes options. Then you'll be able to copy the URL. I don't know if you can do it from the app.

Imgur is really easy, again without the app, using the browser. When you click on a photo that you've uploaded, it gives you the "Direct Link" on the side.

It might help if you're not using the mobile site for either of the two sites.

I found the imgur app fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Just have to click on the photo you want, then click and hold to get the copy direct link option

I find Photobucket via Android App to be very easy but Photobucket via laptop has become very buggy/slow and hard to use.

I can still use my iPhone and photobucket.

Upload your pic to photobucket, then hit the "i" icon, then copy the HTML link and post it directly to the board (not through the photo link thingy).

I use photobucket and iphone as well. upload your pic, look at it in photobucket and click the "i", then copy the direct link. Use the little photo camera icon within the forum to paste the link in the GRM board format.

My issue with Photobucket was all the ads and demands for me to buy things and crashes. (#GOML)

I used imgur the other night, once I figured out that you have to click the picture and get the link address it was super easy.

It should, it's just in a different place. Hit the "share" button thing, then copy link to clipboard, then direct link. I think it's kind of a pain, but it can be done. That's assuming you're on the app btw..

WordPress does a fairly decent job without hitting me up constantly with ads. Just use the WordPress Android app.

It takes about a minute to go from having a photo on my phone to a URL in my clipboard.
