I've been trying to upload a picture on my phone from my phone but I'm not having any luck. The upload button seems to want a web address. Any tips? Thanks.
(It could be that everything is so small on my phone that I'm not seeing something.)
For the most part I've not had trouble uploading photos from my phone. (Though a few days ago a photo was rejected multiple times for no apparent reason before finally being accepted.) When the "select file" box comes up I just navigate through my images and pick the one I want.
Thanks. I don't see the select file box though, only the one asking for a URL. It's OK. It was just a silly possum meme.
You may be using the link button
Below the post box is a blue tab "Upload a File" option for photos and other uploads.

Thanks guys. Hard to see on my phone, I guess.
An even easier way is to copy the file to the clipboard then paste it into the message. Works for me on a PC, but I have to use CNTRL+V because the right click paste option doesn't exist.

Assuming you are copying from an online source with a valid URL, yes, this would work. If you are doing this from your local machine, you are the only one who will see the image.

Fun with CTRL-V (test)
So you copied that from your local computer? Did you CTRL+V into the editor or did you use the Upload A File button? If you have just proved my above post to be incorrect, that would be a happy surprise!
By golly, it works!

Snipping Tool then CTRL-V from my pc (does not work from my iPhone that way though). Nifty.
I didn't think anybody knew about that one...simply because the right click option doesn't exist.
It still honors the size limitation rules and such...just a short cut.
Even I had no idea. They must have snuck that feature in when I wasn't looking. 😉
Thanks guys!
