How does it work? I click on the tree icon but then just get the BBcode image tags like this:

Not sure if the shout box is is different from a regular message but the img tag is for a URL for a web location. I upload all my stadium overlay photoshops to a folder on my web site so I use the img tag for the URL of each image. In a regular message though there's also an option to just upload the file, which gives you a thumbnail at the bottom. You can then put the thumbnail in the body of the message or show the full image in the message.How does it work? I click on the tree icon but then just get the BBcode image tags like this:

For the img tag, yes. There may still be a way to do a direct file upload though.So you do have to upload it elsewhere and then put the url between the tags. I can do that. I was just assuming it would work more like the message system but this is fine. Thx.
Thanks.I'm pretty certain the only way to insert an image into it is via the IMG tag.
I use IMGUR when I need to upload offsite.
I think you can choose an file from your phone maybe. I want to say I've done it that way when on mobile. Couldn't swear to it, though.Thanks.
I admit I saw so many people doing it yesterday I assumed there must be a more direct way because I didn't think so many people would go to the trouble.
Too bad about Flickr. I really like using it for this because I can designate photos as Hidden, which means people visiting my Flickr account can't see them, but they can still be accessed directly by URL and posted on forums etc. Very handy.OK, so I've looked into this and it looks like there's not really a free solution. Flickr would be OK but it doesn't seem to be included in Workflow. Tumblr is but there's no simple way to extract the URL for just the image. They really want you to link to the post and make getting to the image really difficult, and on top of that there's actually five image sizes all with unique URLs that would have to be calculated/extracted. Twitter is similar: easy to post to, not easy to extract only the image URL. So it looks like the only workable answer is ftp, which is fine but not free.
So the bottom line is that this can be totally automated to work with just a few taps but you'll need the Transmit app to make it happen.
And oh yeah, I'll have to get it to actually work first. Minor detail.
IMGUR can do that too. You can make an album and designate if said album is public or not.Too bad about Flickr.

Thanks for following through on this.
I did look at imgur as well. It's similar to tumblr in that it's easy to upload and then get a link to a page but you can't get a link to a specific image file (which is what the forum needs). For purposes of the board it still seems easiest to upload an image to your own web site but not everybody has one of course. If you do though it's a solvable problem. This looks like one of those times when I can give you two of the things you want but not all three at the same time. There's easy to upload, easy to download, and free. Can't seem to find all three together, alas.IMGUR can do that too. You can make an album and designate if said album is public or not.
Test test ignore this randomly selected imgur photo:
OK, it works. That was posted from my phone. I tapped the photo in the Photos app, tapped the share button, tapped the Run Workflow button, then tapped the Upload to imgur button I made. I then went to Safari on my phone, tapped the image button in a new post here, and then just pasted directly into the image field and here we are.Test 2 - for reals
