Can't upload Pics

LUVMYFURY · 03-20-2011, 06:53 AM

Been trying different ways to do this, and yes I even bothered reading the FAQ But for some reason every time I choose to upload a file/picture, the "Choose File" button is greyed out.

I should add I'm running on an IPad - so I am wondering if there's some sort of Adobe Flash thing going on here...any help is appreciated!

Never tried it through an IPad. I just upload my photos to Photobucket and insert the link.

Thats weird. Just upload them to photobucket (free app in the app store) and copy and paste the [img] code.

iPad is frustrating on the forums !

Well I downloaded Photobucket and that helps with adding a pic to the avatar or in a thread, but still no joy with loading a file to a photo album...it's a start though!

Alright, I'm new to this site plus I'm computer illiterate. How do you start a thread?

Go to a specific forum category and choose New Thread button.

don't know if this will help; i finally figured out that i could upload to a forum album and then just add the links to my posts.
as for your iPad--i don't know why you'd need photobucket. uploading is uploading... just create a miscellaneous album on the forum and then upload to that. then pick the photo you want to insert into your post from your album.
use the link provided.

when you're ready to create the post, click: Go Advanced at the bottom of the Message window, then click the drop-down arrow next to the paper clip.

or, maybe you don't have permissions to upload??

Does the iPad have a local file navigator? 'Cause an iPhone doesn't and therefore I cannot upload photos from an iPhone.

hmm, maybe that's why photobucket is an answer after all.
but, he mentioned that he can add a pic to an avatar and a thread--but not to an album??
there is a forum app available for smart phones now. maybe that would help us all.
wtf is photobucket?
