Paul
Wondering if you or any of the esteemed members (or nonmembers) of this forum have figured out how to post pictures from their smartphone cameras to the picture pages without having to crank up the old Laptop? From my iPhone I can publish to email, chat, GoogleDrive or any number of apps like FB or Instagram.
Is there -for example - an email address I can publish pix to on the C-C-25s forum that will appear in my folder? Is there some set of bracket-style Forum codes I can insert into the email message that lets me (1) remotely login, (2) ID the destination folder, and (3) ingest/publish the attached photos in a predetermined order? Or am I overcomplicating it? Maybe there's an app or something to upload pix from a smartphone...
Inquiring minds want to know ... ;-)

Bruce,
If you can get the address of the picture you want to post (let's say from Google+, IMGur, Photobucket, etc.), you can insert it between the [img][ /img] brackets and the photo will show up as an image in the forum. Notice the extra space in the trailing bracket above which shouldn't be there, if it were the forum would swallow the code as if it didn't exist and may still, if there's a blank between "the" & "brackets" it did. The image needs to be a .jpg or .png (other formats may work, Paul can easily answer).

Weird how things go!

Working on a project to do exactly that..

Basically it's an App (I will need someone to recode it for an iPhone)

Basic concept is to take a pic on your phone (or wifi device) and then login via the app and upload it.

Having fun, but only working on an Android version so far.

I can probably help with that if it's a PhoneGap project. If it's XCode native, not so much, but I am set up to make iPhone apps.
