Best way is to join Pix.ie or Flickr.ie, upload your photos to one of these sites then follow the instructions in the link below.

If you are taking full resolution photos with the SG2, then they will tend to be too big to display well in a post. So the first thing you should do is use the image editing abilities of the SG2 to resize your photos so they are between 400-800 pixels wide along the longest side. I would also use the image editing feature to apply the Auto-level adjustment to the photo at the same time you are resizing it/them.

Another free photo sharing site that works well is photobucket. Here is a Youtube tutorial showing you how to upload and share photos using the site:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9dWca-B5tw

While that site shows how to upload from a computer, you can also upload directly from your SG2 if you connect it to your home wifi network.

I don't have a Samsung SG2 - I have a Samsung Wave - so I can't tell you exactly how to upload from your phone, but on mine, in the camera app/function, there is a menu option called 'upload' that allows you to upload photos directly to photo sharing sites, including photobucket. All you need is to have an account with the site set up and then enter your username and password and you can upload straight from the phone. I presume since the SG2 is slightly more advanced than the wave that it would also have such a feature.

Once you have your photos on a site, you just need to copy the direct link for the photo from the site and then when you are composing a message on Boards, click the yellow 'insert image' button (with mountains on it) and paste the link into the box that appears that you copied earlier - voila!

You know how you opened an account on Boards with a username and password? Well do that on Photobucket.

Then - on your phone - pick the photo (I am guessing it works a bit like mine here)



Clicking at the bottom (row of dots) brings up this menu ^ click on 'Edit'

Which gets you:



Click on the Adjust button to get this:



Click on 'Auto Level' to get this:



Click 'Apply' to get you:




Now click the 'Transform' button to get:



Click 'Resize' and adjust the slider like so:


Save it - I'm not doing screen shots for that bit. then clicking on the four dots again, click on 'Upload'



Which gets you...


Click on Photobucket since you have an account now, don't you...hmmmm?
Again, I am not doing screen shots for the bit where it asks for your username and password - there's a check box to remember your account details after which you get this each time you click that Photobucket button:



Then you get this:



You now have a photo edited and uploaded from your phone and you can now use that photo to post into a message just as I have done with all of the above. Which I can show you how to do after you have the pic uploaded.

Er... I am assuming you know how to turn the WiFi on your phone - ON - and have it set up to use your Wifi router?

Please say 'of course' ?
