Posting from iphone

[alanmcorcoran]

Hey Patrick...

This comes under the category of Things That You Don't Really Want To Evaluate From A Logical Perspective but... How about an iPhone app? It has occurred to me that I might be the only member with such a candy assed device, but given this tag-o-rama game, it would be handy for posting a tag/new tag right from where the new tag is sighted/situated. I can actually get on GZ250bike.com and login and post from the browser on iphone, but the picture posting thingie doesn't work. At least i think it doesn't (the Choose File) thing is greyed out. Maybe I was just looking at it wrong.

Maybe. There IS some shading on those boxes. Try selecting it anyway.
Then again, maybe the I-browser isn't totally compatible.

Another wild idea: maybe the I-browser "knows" that you don't have any pic's stored on the phone to find ???? (Do you ??)

Smugmug and a few other picture hosting sites are iphone friendly.

Not having an iPhone, it might be difficult for me to really work out. Are you able to actually attach files using the message board itself instead of using the Postimage.org site?

I'll look around for a solution.

[Dupo]

Postimage probably won't work because its a java script pop up. Phones cant handle those ............ yet.

Patrick,

I had about 100 pictures on the iphone but I think the browser app has to be able to recognize it's on an iphone (or be written in java or the iphone equivalent.)

The "Choose File" is grey and despite repeated pokings, doesn't do anything, The "browse for files" link doesn't display and the "Many images" option requires Flash which, I don't think the iphone supports. It's not that big a deal - unless a lot of other folks have an iphone. It just makes me a little less competitive in the game (and less likely to head out to some godforsaken area only to have someone else post the tag before I can return home, transfer the iphone photo to my PC etc.)

I could probably load the photo to photobucket and then link to that?

If you wrote an iphone app that interface with this forum software and sold it for three or four bucks, you might make a few hundred a month, assuming there are a lot of other instances that use this flavor of forumware. The guy that wrote "Car Locator" is making about $13,000 a month.

I know Photobucket and Flickr have an email feature, and I'm pretty sure photobucket will autoformat to a phpbb post format.

When I asked about attaching a file to a post, I was talking about the native board attach farther underneath the "Post a picture" link. It's under a section called "Upload Attachment"...

Is this what you were referring to in your last post?

As I use a BLACKBERRY for all my posting,I had to find a computer to upload a photo.

[patrick_777]

Indeed, after just checking the site on my Blackberry, I am unable to open a browse window on either location. Javascript FTL.

No, I forgot about that one - I got used to the Big Lettered one I guess. I checked that one now as well and the "Choose File" is greyed out. HOWEVER... I got prompted (from who knows where) that GZ250Bike.com is an iphone Native site (if I buy tapatalk for...$2.99!) I'll buy it and let you know if it works. Seems like some one else already had my idea... maybe.

[patrick_777]

That's crazy. I just setup Tapatalk for the board. There is a read-only version of that app too for iPhone, and a beta (free) version for Blackberry and Android OS.

If it works, please let me know.

[alanmcorcoran]

Got the app. Apparently you must enable tapatalk mobile upload for the photo upload feature to work :(

[alanmcorcoran]

Were hot on the same path! Gz250bike was the first app in their list!

[alanmcorcoran]

These last three posts are direct from my iPhone. My Internet time wasting has just entered a new dimension!

[patrick_777]

Add a picture. I'm not sure I understand the post about enabling the photo upload feature...

[OK]

[patrick_777]

Thanks. I'm checking on it.

[patrick_777]

Try again when you get a chance. I updated the board to the newest version. We were nearly 7 revisions old.

[alanmcorcoran]

It seems to be working now. Good job!

[patrick_777]

Rock on!

Just got it. This is cool. Hope you guys don't mind me uploading this to try it out.

[Dupo]

Ok, apparently the android version does not currently have image upload option.....yet. They are working on it.

2.99 for an app just to post via your phone yet it has no image support like the other mobile carriers they support. Ugh. Between this paid one and the free one, there is virtually no difference until they offer image upload.

As of Feb 9th they said 2-4 weeks and the update is still not out. Guess i have to wait.

Good job guys, finding this!!! I was searching for something to work but was on the wrong path.

[MLGTIB]

I just tried looking at the Tag-o-Rama and it said that there were no posts in it, when i was using the tapatalk. Is anyone else having that issue?

[alanmcorcoran]

There may not be any "new" posts.

[mrlmd1]

What a great site this is! Some people just can't stay away from it, have to have access 24/7, can't wait 'till they get to their home computer. Maybe they don't want their wife to know how much time they spend on here. :) :cool: :neener: :rawk:

[patrick_777]

Posted in the Tag-o-rama thread to make sure MLGs issue is a nonissue.

mrl, most of us don't seem to have lives worth much anyway.

[MLGTIB]

This is like the only personal site that my job has not blocked. My Truck clubs forum got blocked like two weeks ago. Unless its something I need for work they wont unblock it.

When i click on Tag-o-rama it returns "there are no topics in this forum"

[mrlmd1]

I actually think it's a good idea to figure that out, so when you see that pic you want on the road, you can stop, get it, post it up here right away before someone else gets it. And then, you win, and can call the shots for the next pic. Nice that it all can work together.

And WW, you are right, If it wasn't for this site and the "friends" we have on here, what purpose would our lives serve?

Oh, but that's part of the FUN !! :roll:

The way it's going so far, it doesn't appear that a few minutes......or days.....will really make much difference. :cool:

Make sure your view settings are set to All posts and not just a few days.

[MLGTIB]

I can't seem to find that.

[patrick_777]

It apparently doesn't like "sticky" topics. When I change the tag thread to a standard topic, it starts showing up on my BB app.

[MLGTIB]

Hey Patrick, it works. Thanks for fixing it.

[Dupo]

they updated the app today. test to see if it works.
