Okay, i admit that i am a relative throwback when it comes to tech issues. But I am hoping someone else in this group lives on I phone and I pad.... i have such trouble posting photos from my apple photo library... Any wisdom?

I'll freely admit that I know nothing about the iSystem but there you go.

Exactly,Richard!

I have never taken a picture with my flip phone.

[Rick Losey]

i would not say i live on my iphone

but i load pics to my albums here from it basically the same way i load them from my laptop

[Rich Anderson]

I use my phone for conversations and my camera for pictures. When you need a rifle a shotgun won't do and visa versa.......just sayin:whistle:

[Rick Losey]

yup

when ever smart phones are mentioned -the self proclaimed " I'm agin 'em " posts show up - a reverse status

the question was about posting pictures - which i notice some of the "unusual suspects" love to ask for but don't post - not even from a Tandy :rotf: -

all good natured fun

but- i find the phone and internet access handy

My wife and i decided to go to dinner the other night- but in this holiday season we were not sure we would get in- we could have run home and looked up the restaurant in the phone book ( oh wait - we don't get one any more :rolleyes:) or i could google the place, hit "call" on the website and be done with it :whistle:

that said, i prefer my Nkon DSLR for real pictures - and use the camera on the phone on more as a note pad- i see something i want to remember, i'll take a picture instead of writing it down- its quicker and I can't read my own handwriting any way :)

It also works well when my single daughter calls me with a home repair, automotive, or farm question and we switch the call to Face Time so I can walk her through the details. So I agree with you, Rick. I do not "live" on or for my iPhone, but I do enjoy the access and instant memory it provides....

Yikes!

I dont love my iphone, nor my ipad, BUT, Im the principal of a large insurance agency, and run a national conservation organization....I only mention that, because without the connectivity, due to the large amount of travel I do, these devices also allow me to do a few of the things I love to do too, hunt, fish and collect shotguns. The main part of my Insurance work is oil and gas well “blowout” insurance, and my clients must be able to reach me 24-7.

That all being said, cant wait for the day that i’m not tied to the office with an electronic leash!

No electronic leash now for several years and happy to be done with that.

Now to answer the original question

How to post pictures from your iPhone to PGCA website.

On your phone:

Open PCGA web site
Touch Discussion Forum
Touch User CP (control panel)
Touch Pictures and Albums
Touch the album you want to add a picture to (or to which you want to add a picture - just felt the teacher's yardstick for ending a sentence with a preposition)
Touch Upload Pictures
You will get the opportunity to add up to 5 images here
Touch Choose File
Now you can 1: take a Photo 2: Choose Photo Library or 3: Browse
If you want to choose a pic from your Photo Library, just touch the one you want to add. Browse takes you to the iCloud which I avoid simply because I don't like heights
Now you have touched the picture you want you then touch Upload
That picture will now show in that album (after a few seconds)
You can add a caption and even say you want that one as your album cover

That's it. Took much longer to type this than to do the procedure

Here is one I just added from my phone today.

Charlie (the bird dog not Charlie the forum contributor), just stood there and continued to give me the WTF look after she worked up a nice rooster which was then followed by BANG but nothing dropped for her to retrieve. Hate disappointing her but it does happen from time to time.

You da man!! Thanks!

[charlie cleveland]

charlie looked mighty disappointed with that miss....charlie

[Russ Jackson]

Jack , I just attempted your instructions ,worked pretty well ,I added an album under my name but my pics. are upside down ,how do I straighten them up and then how do I post them on a Thread from an album ???Thanks ; Russ

[Jack Cronkhite]

Russ: Not sure how to rotate a pic already in the album. Assume it was in proper orientation in your phone. I think John Dunkle figured that out in the past maybe he can chime in.

As for posting a pic in the forum:

Go to your album
Open the pic
at the bottom you will see Picture URL and BB Code
Click on the BB Code
Copy the highlighted code
Go to your forum message
Paste the code into the message (it won't look like a pic at that point)
Click on Preview Message and it should be there
Click Submit New Thread

Try it out and give us a pic

Cheers,
Jack

[Russ Jackson]

Well ,we will see if it works ! http://parkerguns.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=797&pictureid=9767

[Russ Jackson]

It Did It did work !:rotf: Thank You ! Now if I can figure out how to spin them ! I just got this new phone and really don't have any good gun pictures ,I figured this would make good practice !

[Jack Cronkhite]

Rotated now but not sure what to do at your end. Do all pics from your phone do the same thing?

[Russ Jackson]

Jack ,How did you do that ? Oh and Thanks !

[Jack Cronkhite]

charlie looked mighty disappointed with that miss....charlie

Yes she did. She has grown used to flushing pheasants and does not get excited if there is no bang when I yell HEN!! to alert others. But if there is a bang, she is already on the run towards the bird and is disappointed/annoyed/po'd etc if she does not get to retrieve.

[Jack Cronkhite]

Jack ,How did you do that ? Oh and Thanks !

Well, I saved it to my desktop and opened it and did the edit rotate right and saved it again and then clicked on the forum "manage attachments" Browsed and found it in the desktop files and clicked upload. Had to write a few words as there is an error that pops up that the message is too short when there are no words. Then just clicked submit reply. But that is a long way around when you should just be able to upload your pic and not have it in the correct orientation. Too much fun for old guys. Cheers, Jack

[Angel Cruz]

Thank you Jack.. it works..

[Jack Cronkhite]

You're welcome. So, let's see a pic then. Cheers, Jack
