Attach photo to web thread

[Dbarnesh]

I want to attach a photo to a post on another website, glamisdunes.com. The manage attachments box is gray and non-op, as with other sites I have tried. I tried the photo bucket trick and it still doesn't work.

The picture MattIM posted looks like a pic of a video posted in the middle of a website?

I read in another thread you have to use firefox as your browser? I have tried to download several versions of firefox and safari says it can't download the file?

Any more ideas? Thanks,

Dan

to you was a screen shot of my iPad using the USA Today newspaper app. This app has videos imbedded in their newspaper articles. I wanted to keep this image because for me as a fan, having the SF Giants win the World Series was a tremendous achievement. Now if the Cubs can get past their history, I'll be posting real live pictures from the outfield bleachers at Wrigley Field!

Lest I invoke further denunciation from super bikers and others, I have no other ideas to suggest for you to attach a *.jpg file to a website. You are wanting the file attached and not the image itself, correct?

I don't think there is an app yet that will allow you to do what the USA Today, and other newspapers do, imbed videos. I think you need a PC or MAC to do that kind of production.

I appreciate your time and effort MattIM. Good luck with your beloved cubbies!

File sharing is what Apple wants to prevent. This device was made for the plebe to buy and consume files, in no way is it permitted to share them...easily that is, even the ones you've created..

I agree.. The iPad was never meant to be a full blown computer. It's essentially an oversized iPod. It's primary purpose is to Play games and enjoy media (pictures, movies and music)... It does other 'things', but most of them do have limitations...

If I wanted a small, super thin portable computer, I'd spring for a MacBook Air rather than an iPad.

Agreed! Yet I'm astounded by how many posts on the iPad forum begin... "Why can't I do the same things on my iPad as I can on my computer?" Obviously, people are not making informed, thought-out, or researched purchases and do not understand the pros and cons of the devices they are buying.

Testing this now. I think the application Tapatalk is available for iPhone and iPad as well as Android. Testing this image attachment now.

Only thing is the forum must support Tapatalk, but many forums, including this one do support it.

Ok, yeah, looks like that worked fine. So that's one option for you. Download the app Tapatalk, it's got the option to upload your image to the website or a Tapatalk hosting server.

I did this from my Android phone, so I don't know if it's exactly the same on the iPad, but it should be similar at least.
