How do I upload a photo from my phone for rock ID help? Hi, there is no perfect way to upload photos on the Proboards forum software platform and it has always been a challenging subject. Uploading photos directly from a phone can be done several ways but all require an account with an external source for photo storage. 1. Cloudinary account - Cloudinary is the closest thing we have found to a truly integrated file upload on Proboards. The first thing you have to do is to create a Cloudinary account and activate it in your forum profile. Here is a tutorial on how to set up a Cloudinary account and get it working on the board. Here is a mini-tutorial on how to use it on a phone. 2. Tapatalk account - Tapatalk is a forum interface app for the phone. We have no direct connection to the app so can't help you much with the setup or interface but some members here do use it successfully and it is easy to post photos from it. I didn't personally care for the tunnel view they feed the user - meaning you can't see the activity on the whole board, only the pieces you have visited. 3. 3rd party hosting like Flickr or others - you would have to create an account with a host that allows uploading from your phone then supply you with the URL of the photo for posting on the forum. Hope this helps a bit - it has always been a challenging subject on this Proboards software platform.
