I broke this post into its own topic, as its not related to SQL Errors.

To answer your question, there are a few ways to post photos.

1: Use a third party hosting site like Flickr, and use the Flickr share functionality to post photos here. You click share on the photo you want to share, select BBCode as the type, and then just copy/paste the link here.

2: You can use Tapatalk on your phone. This hosts the photos on their servers, which is bad if they ever go out of business or something. But is super easy if you are posting photos from your phone.

3: You can attach images directly to the forum. This is great as the photos will always be here. But is the most tedious as the images have to be manually shrunk down by the poster to conserve server space. As most images taken by your phone are quite large, and if we get thousands of them, it equates to a lot of storage space.
