Options for posting pics from phone?

Post by THEYTOOKMYTHUMB »

Is there an easy way to post a pic from your phone? I've always used photobucket, but it's completely jumped the shark. I've tried a few ways, but can't get anything to work outside of a pc.

I've read a few of your post about Photobucket. Are you using the app? That's what I've been using for a while now with no problems. I switched when the website quit working from my phone.

I wish I had my Samsung Galaxy 3 back. You could set it to make the pics small enough right off the bat and be able to attach them from the phone to here without resizing. All of these new phones take huge pictures. I really need to look into a resizing app.

That's the one thing Facebook groups have over forums. The ease of posting pictures.

I have the photobucket app, but after an update a few months ago it would no longer allow me to upload from my phone to my account. They said they were working on the issue, but it still doesn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times. I'll try again. I can't imagine why they'd take that feature away.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRG!

You said it dude. Fonzy is airborne on his chopper....an entire window of un-backable-outable clickbait exploded. The only option is close ChumBucket before you can even get the pics "uploaded"? Double "U" Tee Ehff?
Hope you're doin' something fun.

For pics on my phone posted here, I have to email to myself, open on my laptop, resize and then post. If there is a way we could simplify that would be great, even cutting a step out and having the forum resize it to correct size. We need to compete with facebook as I hate that format!

I just resize my photos on my phone in "Photo Resizer" so they are under 250kb and upload them straight to this forum.

My only gripe is that it kills the picture quality uploading here, but it's free so it does the trick.

I tried using photobucket today for the first time in a few years and it is completely unusable.

Are there any other hosting sites to use now-a-days? Keep in mind I am completely fuktarded when it comes to computers!

I too have no clue how this stuff works or how much it costs but on the Jeep forum I can simply download any file from my computer and the forum sizes it for you.
