On another message board like this, guys post a bunch of random stupid videos which are apt to the conversation at hand. I can watch these since I have HTML 5.

HOWEVER, I've yet to find a means by which to post my own contributions, short of logging into a VNC server, and looking at it on a PC browser, and seeing what link Youtube or Dailymotion has for the video in question. As far as I know, iswifter is not connected to the clipboard.

I have to imagine, what with rampant Facebook and vBulletin use, that I'm not the only one who has tried to do this!

Thanks!

How would that particular video come up when u tap the you tube app?

Maybe these screenshots will help.

That's where I post them from. I take the screenshots, which go to the camera roll. I then add the graphics in Skitch and send the edited photos back to the camera roll, where I post them to iPF.

I understand about Skitch, etc. but how do u send them back to camera roll, and then add them here? Know they have email options at photos, but not posting to forums.. That's what I don't understand .

I just brought up that curved arrow in photos but still don't know what to tap to post it here. Will see if it comes up with advanced. Nothing just what I'm posting here. No photo

Here's how to send a Skitch photo to the camera roll. After you finish editing the photo, tap the box with an arrow coming out of it in the top right corner.

View attachment 38454.

View attachment 38455 From the resulting pop up, select camera roll. A pop up will appear to sat that the photo has been saved to the camera roll, tap the ok button.

As to how to import that photo from the photos app to this forum, the easiest way is to use the app. When you want to post a picture, tap the advanced button at the top right of the screen.

View attachment 38456



View attachment 38457



View attachment 38459



View attachment 38460



View attachment 38461



View attachment 38462



View attachment 38463 Once you tap the send button, the post, with it's photos will be uploaded to the forum.

Hit share in the YouTube app and you can copy and paste the URL link out of the resulting email.
Just tried again and last option was clipboard, not Copy! Do u use advanced to post a photo? Never have but think that's what has to be done to post one, but still can't figure how to get it from photos

If you're posting from the app, it's at the upper right as you're writing your post.
