Hi jags!

Here is a link to a video showing the transloading process -- transferring photos from your smartphone to your computer, then resizing and uploadig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGTrPwvaV4g

Otherwise, you can use a third-party phone app to upload your smartphone photos to a hosting service (ImageShack is one; their compatible apps are here: http://imageshack.us/p/3rdparty/ ), then link to them in the body of your post using html tags, as described in my little tutorial here ("Method 2"): http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=4313.0

The big thing to remember is your phone's photos will be too big to post directly to the Forum (where there is a maximum attachment size of 512KB) unless you resize them before posting. As I recall, yours is an Android phone (Samsung). Here is a quick list of Android photo-resizing apps: http://tech2.in.com/features/apps/8-photoediting-apps-for-your-android-phone/556022

Hope this helps.

Best,

Dan.
