Posting photos using an ANDROID PHONE??

[Don Ricardo]

Hi all,

This is a callout to anyone with an ANDROID PHONE...

I'm wanting to talk to someone with an Android phone about the procedure to follow to post photos on the Forum from your mobile using the 'Add Attachment' button. If someone wants to post photos using an iPhone, the 'Add Attachment' button does not automatically appear. There is an extra step to take so that it is accessible (very annoying, but there it is). More information here.

My question about an Android phone is: Does the 'Add Attachment' button appear automatically on an Android phone or do you have to take the extra step required for an iPhone?

If someone can let me know that would be really helpful. If the button doesn't appear then we can work out what steps are required for it to be accessible.

Thanks for your help,

Don Ricardo

Hi Richard,
Had a look on my Android phone and could not find it but not sure if it was the way I was in it. Found it confusing as I normally only access via my PC.

G'day DonR, on my Motorola android phone, there is no "Add attachment" button showing, only an "Add poll" button.
I have to scroll down to the "Desktop version" button at the bottom of the screen, as you described.

Cheers,

Hi Nickd15 and Franklin1,

Thanks for your responses regarding the 'Add Attachment' button on an Android phone.

From Franklin1's comments it sounds like the way the Forum works on an Android is the same as it works on an iPhone. That's good news. It means we don't have to make things more complicated by saying 'if you've got an Android phone do this' but 'if you've got an iPhone do that'!

I've reviewed the instructions for using 'Add Attachment' on a mobile phone and tweaked them a bit to make them as clear as I can, but any suggestions about making them clearer or easier to understand are welcome. The instructions can be found here for anyone who wants to see them.
