daverclasper Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi. Used to be able to do this, when using a PC and photo's saved on the PC, using the "Add Files" option on forum threads. Now have an Android phone to use forum and threads don't appear to have an option to add photos, that are saved in my phone?. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Any advice please?. I have some Herald Gearbox parts that are free and would be handy to photo, rather than weight in (aside from it would be very useful to know!.

KevinR Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 On an iPhone, use the Add Files link at the bottom of the reply window and turn just pick the pictures from the photo library, or take a picture with the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Is Android different, tho? I have an iPhone these days, hated the Android when I had it, but never used it for the forum so no idea of how to overcome the 'missing link'.

Should be very similar - even on Chrome on Windows 10, there is a link at the bottom of the reply window to attach/choose files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Thanks. It's an Android phone. When I press the "Add Files" button it changes colour, though nothing else, no access to photo gallery. Am I meant to save the photos as files first, or something?

You may need to go into 'settings' and allow access to your photos; in my Apple phone nearly every app or program has to be allowed to access other parts of the phone. One other thing that's occurred to me - have you pressed the 'add files' button then left it for any period of time? Sometimes a program will try to collect all available material before it gives you the option of which to attach, so while it's searching your phone for all content it might take some time.

daverclasper Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Thanks Colin. I have just allowed every app etc permission for everything (is this overkill harmful?) and also given "add files" time to do what it does.........'nt. Maybe the problem is, I'm the only member not "Appled up", unlike you rich buggers!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even use an expensive desktop OS. But I don't try to follow this forum on a phone - way too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I`ve tried on an Old Motorola, but I suspect the Android version is too old?. The same/similar happened with ios 9 on my old i-pad. depends perhaps on how old yours is?. Was talking to a guy, a few years back who had been "loadmaster" on C130`s. he referred to them as "Fat Albert". Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Trying a newer Moto Edit on a decent keyboard: Worked fine, if a little awkward. Tap the "attach files" button, allow permission to take photos, then (for an existing photo) choose "files" and select the one you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I have Samsung a12 android and it works fine fir me. Let me try again now... I hit the add files and immediately get 3 options rolling in from bottom of screen. Camera, camcorder or files. Use files and options are images, video, audio etc. Use images and hunt the picture!!! The 'other media' option gives two choices to insert attachments or url. I know nothing of these no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted March 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thanks Guys, still not working after your info, my phones a Samsung J4, about 14 months old, no idea why not?. The "choose files" button on my PC gives me load of options, though would have been handy to use phone for photos and use them straight away, on forum. Can try my girlfriends I phone, if need be, so maybe not the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
