Adding attachment via mobile device

[mandees]

Forum URL: terriersforsaleuk.freeforums.net/


Hi, I have just started a forum. How can members attach an image to a post using a mobile phone device? I can only attach an image using my desktop computer or iPad (there is an icon available on both devices). I asked a friend to test a post using her mobile phone. She wrote her advert but there was no ‘icon attachment’ option. I believe I have the settings correct ‘enable attachments’

Thank you.

i have the answer @andees you can use desktop mode for that it'll work for you like that
you'll see desktop mode under everything in your forum!

So if I change the settings to desk top, members will be able to attach an image using a mobile phone? I’ll try that now, thank you.

Ok not quite following you. Is this correct what I have written below -  or is there a setting I can change in admin panel?

While viewing the forum via a mobile device, users can switch to Desktop mode by tapping the “Desktop” link at the bottom of the page... ?

You will essentially be viewing a desktop version of the forum on a mobile device by clicking on "desktop." You don't have to change anything in your admin panel. However, not all scripts will work on a phone and you will use a lot more data if you are not on a WiFi connection.  Uploading attachments should work. Font size will also be a lot smaller. Your member will most likely want to put the page back in mobile view after uploading the attachment.

As a side note,you dont have to use the attachment feature to add images,you can use a third party hosting site as well,and that doesn't use any storage space on your forum.
