Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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 ??)

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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?

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

[OK]

Re: Posting from iphone
 

Thanks. I'm checking on it.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

It seems to be working now. Good job!

Re: Posting from iphone
 

Rock on!

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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?

Re: Posting from iphone
 

There may not be any "new" posts.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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:

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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?

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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:

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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

Re: Posting from iphone
 

I can't seem to find that.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

Hey Patrick, it works. Thanks for fixing it.

Re: Posting from iphone
 

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