Photos from phone

I have sent a test photo from my phone to photobucket. How do I send it from Photobucket to the Nomad board?

fishbuck, I believe you just have to copy and paste the IMG code.
That's what I do anyway and it works for me. somebody else who knows more may have a better way.

Fishbuck... there is a link for the photo's URL on photobucket... click on it, and copy it with your mouse, then on Nomad open the window for hot linking and insert your photo URL from photobucket there...

Okay for starters. But I used my PC. How can I send the Image Code from my phone directly to the Nomad board?

In post or post reply (not 'quick reply'), click on this for the hot link pop up:


and paste the image URL there! You can post several images per post by hot linking.

Okay. I can't seem to get the Photobucket Image Code on my phone. Only on my PC.
Seems the phone will only Email the photos. Is there a way to get the Image Code on the Phone so I can copy and paste it to Nomad?

I have no idea... my phone is for talking, I refuse to get one with a camera... as I have a camera, already! LOL

Email it to yourself, then load them into photobucket... then post them on Nomad as I explained. No short cuts, I think.

That's the same photo.... and if you put in the hot link pop up:

Not sure what you aren't doing, but... why not just post the URL's of all your photos... and I will drop them into the hot link if you can't... That phot is also too big, so the page get's distorted from normal size monitor viewers.

You are missing one [ in the beginning.
And is the / supposed to be near the end ??

Okay, I have figured out how to send the photo from the phone to nomad. I know I need to resize the photo but it's just a test and I'll probably delete them.
For some reason it only posts the hotlink but doesn't print the photo like my earlier post but I did that one with my PC.

You have to turn your phone ninety degrees clockwise.

Ya, it just a test photo. I can probably reformat the photo.
Well, I did it. That photo was straight from the camera phone to the Nomad board with a brief side trip to Photobucket.
I took the photo a little while ago and It took about 20-30 minutes to post on the board.
No PC necessary.
One thing I can't figure is why it hot links instead of painting the photo directly like it did with the PC. But still works ok.
If I do this right fish photos can be posted as soon as I'm in range of a cell tower.

The hot link feature (I showed you how above) is so we can see the photo on Nomad without clicking on a link. Just click that little box with the landscape image, insert the photo's URL into the line provided... That's all!!
