Can we go into advanced picture posting now so I can check and make sure I am not being a complete numpty. This is my current process when I need to upload something to this forum:
1. Take photo, latest example is a shoe attached to a CB mallet for someone to look at
2. Go into Google photos on phone and press the Backup option (yes this could be removed if I had auto back up but I don't want every pic being backed up
3. Go to PC and open Google photos and download required image to PC
4. Locate desired image on PC and upload to Postimages
5. Take link from Postimages and put into STW chat box and press enter

Slick isn't it

But if I don't have the photo on the PC how do I get it from Postimages? It has to get there somehow, it doesn't just float there when I take a photo.....................................does it? Edit* Or do you mean just work directly from the mobile device?

Does your phone not have a web browser?

(This is one of the reasons I use imgur - there's a native app which appears on the Share list on my camera roll.)

John: You either need to post the shared imgur link without using the forum's IMG button - just paste the link straight in to the text box - or you need to get the URL for the photo itself to put into the IMG tags.

If you paste the share link into the IMG dialogue then, as above, it won't work because it's not an image.

My Imgur account has become painfully slow. Any recommendations for another (free) equivalent?

Highlight the text you want to quote (after copy & pasting it) and press the button.

It doesn't let me reply after the quote, without making a new paragraph before I hit the quote button. Is that right?

Apologies if that's already been covered, I haven't read the whole thread.

I put the cursor where I want it, press the B-QUOTE button, paste the text in front of the code that has appeared, then hit the quote button again.
