You can download an app like imgur or flickr to your ipad. You might need to sign up to them depending on the app. You then upload your images to their site and share the IMG code or BBCODE FORUM link and paste it in your post. The text will convert to the image when you post the reply.

 

You can also click "Reply" on posts here and upload files onto the forum directly. You only have a limited amount of space and the images will be the small "thumbnail" images.

What's the simplest image hosting website? I use Photobucket but now it's become so full of ads and crap that the pages don't load properly.

I use Photobucket, works well off phone or laptop.  Maybe it's different on an iPad with more ads (Wouldn't surprise me with Apple).  Some folk use Imgur, which seems to work well too.

I too use Photobucket App on iPad and Sony Xperia. Nice and simple to use on both devices

Yes you do for more storage space and have had no issues with it. I keep forgetting my passwords and never get an answer from them though.

Thanks for that! must be me then , have only used 38% of my free storage, keep getting 

emails from them asking me to upgrade,

I went through my free storage like mad when i was restoring my lads car so paid for more storage and did not regret it. 38% is not bad but the other thing to do is have two accounts. You will need another email address but thats simple with Gmail.

amazing 

Thanks

I have an imgur account and when I paste the img code onto my reply’s on here it stays as a link and doesn’t show as a picture on the thread.
Am I doing something wrong?

[panky]

Which link do you copy?

I always use the second from the bottom (BBCode) on the list and pasted direct to my reply - not using the 'Image' tab in the reply window.

 

Like so

That’s my car ! lol
It’s not giving me a bbcode. Are you using your phone or laptop? I’m copying the link from the app on my iPhone, could that be why?

[panky]

I'm on my PC, iPhone must be different but I'm sure there must be a way

I’m using Flickr and was hoping I could do it all off my phone on the app, but to my dissapointment I can only upload from my phone I can’t get bbcodes so have to go in the laptop afterwards to post into my project thread.
