Since Photobucket changed I don't know how to add a photo. I don't use any other hosting service. The photo is on my phone, but I can transfer to my laptop with no problem.
I'm usually pretty computer literate, but this has me stumped and I've spent way too much time on it.
Help. Please. I promise to bookmark the instructions.

It's simple either way. Just want to start you out on the right foot.  |

Thanks nicolep. Yes I'm on my laptop using Chrome. If I download the app do I need the paid version or the free version? |

Thanks mom. I kept trying to use the Insert Image button. But now I see the BIG Add Attachment button. |

Yay!!
Yeah...the sizing issue using the app is one I haven't figured out other than resizing it through one of my photo editing apps and then uploading it. Maybe someone else can help?

Can I try next? Never figured it out... Add the photo to your desktop. Go to the box where you would normally type your post. Click the blue 'reply' button (box is still empty or you can add text, either way will work). On the next screen, you will see 'add attachment'. Click on that. Once clicked, a new box will pop up where you can select 'add files'. Click on that, and then select your photo you want to include. Once the file is selected, click 'insert' and then 'done'. Your photo will be inserted. SaveSaveI've asked this question before, because it baffled me, too. I'm excited to see it answered, but I'm still feeling a bit slow. I prefer using my laptop because I'm the typo queen on my phone, but I can't find a desktop app. Do you have to use your phone to upload a photo? I created an account, I downloaded the app to my phone in case that's the only way I can use it and hunted up 2Peas, so I've gotten that far, but I'm at a total loss on my laptop. |

momThe phone app looked pretty easy to use, but the laptop is what I'd much prefer, and that's what's baffling me. I created my log in id and verified my email on the laptop. I went to my phone, downloaded the app, found 2Peas and added it to my groups (follow or whatever it does). So on my phone I can get to the boards, I'm logged in, and I can post, and I see the photo button and the attachment button. I haven't tried either, but I'm figuring one of them works. The problem is when I go to the tapatalk site, the only thing it does is direct me to mobile apps. I can't find a download link for the desktop app. It's not pulling up when I try the Windows app store. When I googled it, all I found was a bunch of message board stuff saying they no longer make a desktop app and suggestions for other apps. So clearly I'm missing something. If you know where to download the app, can you link me or give me the For Dummies version? Tyty!

momSo you go to the reply, not the quick reply in a post and use the big add attachment button in the upper corner?

mom I've honestly never hit anything but quick reply and didn't even think about checking out the regular reply options! I don't think I would have thought to load a photo as an attachment, though. I'm SO slow some days! Thank you so much for spelling it out for me!

Awesome, Ladies!
Flickr is pretty easy to use, too.
Either way (direct attachment or link to Flickr) I email phone photos to my PC and then save and upload from there.
