It was simple with the laptop but i'm not hot with the phone. Can someone explain simply?

Hi Defunkd,

If you have the URL, you should be able to put the link between [IMG ][/IMG ] tags with the space omitted.

I really wish boards would utilise some of community features of the tech that this site is built on (vbulletin phpbb?), namely auto-uploading to imgur etc. My Reddit app does it on my phone. Even my own website takes care of this in-browser and I host the images myself. Anyone can just upload a pic and it "works".

Server costs are minimal nowadays. Especially if they moved to DigitalOcean and got away from multi-hour outages etc.

We're investigating why the "Attach Files" link on the touch site is behaving erratically when mobile browsing. This link should appear beneath the text box and allows you to upload images from your mobile. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We have a workaround for this bug while we work on a fix.

Using your mobile:

Log out of your boards.ie account and close the boards.ie tab
Open a new tab and navigate directly to https://touch.boards.ie/b/auth/login
Login to your account
Opening any thread and attempting to post should then display "Attach files" underneath the text box
