How are you attempting to post these? Are you missing icons?

Remember that there are limitations as far as what the iPads can use (e.g., no Flash, no java, etc.) and that may limit your experience here.

whoa whoa there! stop with the fancy words now! i'm not flashing anyone and i've had coffee but i still cant post using the YouTube button and the IMG button the way i used to when i had my trusty old laptop. (i'm not missing any icons btw. i can see and click on them all.) that laptop mighta been held together with a rubber band and some gorilla glue but it didnt give me any guff when i pounded on the keys either! this iPadishness is so sensitive and pristine and perfect and shiny that i feel like i'm talking smut to a every time i use it! and mysterious! whew! i can barely get my mail.

so whatchersayin is that i was better off before my attempt to embrace the 21st century?

The way to post pictures or youtube is the following:

1. Choose either the Post Reply button or Quote button.
2. Click into the post editing box
3. Then click on either the Youtube or Picture icons. This will be either the IMG or Youtube tags into the editing box
4. Between the tags (they look like this [IMG] and [\IMG] or [YOUTUBE] and [\YOUTUBE]) put either the image address or the youtube video identifier like you would have when it'd pop up.

thanks. that's what i did before i switched from PC to Apple. guess my ignorance about the incompatibility between Flash and iPad means no video posting for me. images though. dont really understand why they wont post just as before. must be the other thing? Java?

No. Because I can do it on my iPad. So not sure what it is that you are doing that is preventing it.

Hi there, can someone help me? When am I able to post pictures and attachments? My profile status says I'm not allowed to, and I'm guessing it has something to do with my membership level. What stage do I have to be at before I can do this? Any info will be gratefully received as I can't find anywhere that explains this, many thanks

REMINDER TO ALL PICTURE POSTERS:

When posting a picture in a Thread.. PREVIEW before POSTING IT...

If it is too large you can go back and change the size before posting it. There is NOTHING more annoying than a picture that takes up the entire screen and then some. Not to mention it's pisses the ADMINS right off.

Thanks for this reminder, Strappie!!!
When a post with a really BIG picture is "quoted", is there a way to "delete" said pic, so that every post, which sometimes, runs in to several, doesn't use that huge pic repeatedly? Thanks....
