Iphone usability with C.com forum features

[rnvinc]

I've been posting a lot lately from my Iphone....

There a several differences in the forum features usability as compared to posting from a pc...

Some forum features work normally.. Some do not...(when posting from the Iphone)
Some I have found "workarounds" to get the same forum function accomplished...

A lot of the WYSIWYG editor you see above the message pane while building a new post does not function normally using an Iphone... But I have found a few ways to still use some of the tools in the editor...

One forum function I still have not found a workaround for is the "drag and drop" function of the "attachment wizard"....

Because the Iphone does not have "drag and drop" capability.... I have found no way to get saved pictures from my "saved attachment wizard" into the wizard's "insert into thread" window pane...

Anyone be interested in sharing Iphone "tricks" they use in the forum...??
Or maybe you may have question that I have already found "workaround" for...??

My iPhone is all I ever use. "Wizard" I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you asking how to post your iPhone pics onto this forum?

Most users are using the Tapatalk app on their phones.....makes everything easier and posting pics a snap.

My query is regarding my attachment pix that are stored in the forum on the crappie.com server...(all my past attachments back to when I first joined in 2008)

The "attachment wizard" I mention is the paper clip icon in the WYSIWYG editor above a message post that is being constructed...

Clicking on the "paper clip" opens a window that is used for uploading pics into the "attachment wizard" from a pc or a url...

In this window that opens are my saved attachments that I have inserted into past posts...(all the way back to 2008)...

In order to "reuse" one of these saved attachments (in a present new post) it is necessary to "drag" the thumbnail picture attachment out of the upper pane and "drop" it into the lower "insert attachment" pane....

This is not possible on an Iphone because Iphone does not support "drag and drop"...

There is a way to "reuse" my old uploaded saved attachments from years past that are stored on the crappie.com server using BBCode in this forum...

I just haven't figured it out yet...

Let's say I posted a picture 3 years ago.... In this forum...

Since then, I have deleted that picture from any pc or media that I own...
I also deleted that picture from my Photobucket account....
So now I do not have that picture in my possession in any form...

That picture that I posted 3 years is , in fact, still sitting on the crappie.com server...

Will Tapatalk will retrieve that picture from the crappie.com server that I used 3 years ago...??
So that I can use it again in this forum....

Ok I dig. I just use picture trail and copy, then past URL

Ok I dig. I just use picture trail and copy, then past URL

I'm not sure I understand this...

I know how to insert a picture's URL into the BBCode -[img][/img]- ...and get it to post into the forum...
I know how to use the "image" icon in the WYSIWYG editor's tool bar above the message I'm creating...then insert a picture's URL into the same BBCode -[img][/img]- .......

What is "picture trail and copy"...??

How does this allow you to post a picture directly from your C.com attachment folder using your Iphone...??

Picture trail is just an online pic storage like photo bucket. I take a pic with my iPhone, email it to my pic trail account the copy URL, then paste it in the quick reply box. I'm thinking about getting tapatalk.
