IrishSiouxFan Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hey guys, I've been working on something I wanted to share with my fellow Sioux fans and can't figure out how to attach/upload a jpeg from my computer to a topic thread on Sioux Sports. Can anyone help me out? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I want to know how to do this myself!! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 You have to upload the image to an online image hosting site and then link to it. Possible image hosting sites: http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/image-hosting-websites Quote

Sioux-cia Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks! Is there one hosting site you would recommend over another? I've use PhotoBucket for about ten years now. No problems. 1 Quote

bigskyvikes Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Any body know why when I try to add a photo it only shows a big long link like sentences but never hi-lighted as a link? It never shows the photo? I use photobucket and I use the direct link that says to use for forums? Quote

jimdahl Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Ok, I enabled file uploading for all the forums. So, when you want to attach something from your computer you can do it directly to the forum instead of having to go through an image uploading service. Â At the bottom of the compose window, there's an "Attach files" section. You click "Choose file" to choose a local file then "Attach this file" to upload it. If you don't see the attach files section, you might be in quick reply mode and have to hit the "more options" button to get to full mode. Quote
jdub27 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Jim - is there a way to attach or upload pictures from a mobile device. Last time I tried, I couldn't figure it out at all. Quote
jimdahl Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Jim - is there a way to attach or upload pictures from a mobile device. Last time I tried, I couldn't figure it out at all.  The changes I mentioned in my previous post should also make it work for mobile devices (as long as they support file uploads).  On my iPhone, when I hit "choose file" it prompts me to take a photo/video or choose from my photo library.

With an android, you have to switch to "full version" (from mobile version) to see the"attach" option 1 Quote

Cratter Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Testing....always wanted this feature. Unfortunately my cell phone pictures appear to be too big for the allowed file size. Though the picture says its 1MB. Quote
jimdahl Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Is that in the full version mode as well on an iPhone? Â Correct, on any mobile device you're probably being pushed to the mobile skin, so first need to switch to full version. Quote
Ray77 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Correct, on any mobile device you're probably being pushed to the mobile skin, so first need to switch to full version.  I have a question regarding this. I typically use the "full version" on my phone, mainly because if I click into a thread it takes me directly to the last post I read the last time I was in that thread. If I use the "mobile version" it's much easier to read on my phone, however when I click into a thread it takes me to the top of the page and I have to scroll through to find where I left off. Am I doing something wrong? I'd like to use the mobile version if possible, just because it fits the screen better and is easier to read.  Thanks!

jimdahl Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Testing....always wanted this feature. Unfortunately my cell phone pictures appear to be too big for the allowed file size. Though the picture says its 1MB. Â The current limit is exactly 1MB, so you were probably just over it. Quote

Are you logged in on the phone? Quote
Ray77 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Yes, when I click the title it jumps me to where I was. Are you logged in on the phone? Â Yes, when I use my phone I log in under my SS.com user name. Quote

Am I doing something wrong? I helped jimdahl test this out and think I've found the problem: you're a Bruins fan. Quote
