How do I attach photos to a thread with an iPhone. I use tapatalk for the forum and have no idea how to add a photo to this either from phone or URL.
Thankyou in advance for your infinite wisdom.

Should be "Add Image" button on the top left when you hit reply/post.

Hmmm. Tried that but it did not seem to behave. Oh well.

Try this - it works some of the time.

In safari, click on an image and hold until a dialogue pops up for open/open in new page/save image/copy. Click copy. It copies the URL of photo - but only where there isn't also a link embedded in the image (in that case it copies the URL of the link).

Paste the url in the usual way in img tags.

Bum.

I'm bad at this game. Oh well. No pretty pictures if I do a trip report later on in the year.

I think you got it (at least you've posted the URL of the pic), just forgot the img tags!

ie. http://s3.hubimg.com/u/213618_f520.jpg

I give up and apologies for 2 attempts. Sa I thought with your " I thought you meant no parenthesis ie drop the brackets but then I saw the . in the middle. I don't want to keep playing and posting and annoying others so I'll stop.
Ta for your advice and I'll just agree to disagree with my phone :-(

Yup, you need to have the [ ] just without the .

See what did you do. I think I'm close but sa added some extras in to stop the picture from posting in his instruction. I'm not blonde people I promise. I have a masters degree...just obviously not in attaching photos in tapatalk on the iPhone :-)

You've go the tags right, but this time that URL isn't of the image file itself (look for the .jpg/.png - if you don't see it, it doesn't pick up the file). It's the way the page is written - in this case, click on that image to get the enlarged version, which is of the jpgs directly.

Thanks sa for your wise words. I hope this one works.
Now to one day get a photo from my library to attach via the add photo button. I'll leave that for another time :-)

I know!! Faaarrr ooouuuttt!! (I would like to write another word that starts with f but is not kiddy friendly). I think I might go crack a nice bottle of red. If we ever meet SA I owe you a beer or ten.
