Posting Pics/Vids here from Iphone/Ipad

[t-gal]

What is the best way to post a picture/video here using an Iphone or an Ipad? These are the only devices I am talking w/ me to London and I want to be able to share as real time as possible. (I'm hoping the O2 has wifi).

Cheers,
T

Do you have the Tapatalk app installed? If you do, when you make a post in this forum, you'll see four icons in the space below where you type. The one second from the left allows you to insert a photo from your device.

Thanks, alex! Using the app now.

Thanks for raising that, T. I'm taking the same devices.

Remember that hotels, stations, McDonalds, and Starbucks have WiFi.

Pic test...1...2...3... I put Iphone in airplane mode to test both wifi and uploading a camera pic (using the medium setting) via tapatalk. This is something I'm having all the coaches and players sign.

Good Test (I'm checking from a PC) only the pic is a bit off center... I'll have to play with that one.

Thanks again, alex for the app suggestion.

Milford - in case you don't have them... I downloaded wifi finder apps: Free Wi-Fi Finder & Wi-Fi Finder. They work both stateside and worldwide.

Cheers, everyone! Enjoy the opening ceremonies!

t-gal,

the pic is off-center because you inserted it right after the text you typed.

one way to make sure it always shows up all the way to the left is to enter a carriage return before doing the photo insert.

Have a ball across the pond gal.

The "T" in your name must stand for Technology.

Thanks for the info. Loading them now.

O2 has installed free WiFi in many places downtown and in the West End: http://www.zdnet.com/o2s-free-central-london-wi-fi-network-goes-live-ahead-of-olympics-7000001543/.

Yes, they have it in the arena with their name on it:

We have a wireless network named "WiFi Zone - The Cloud" which is being hosted by The Cloud. This can be accessed if you have an account with The Cloud or by using a credit card. You may access the network in the following areas: Peninsula Square; Entertainment Avenue between buildings 1-4; The O2 arena levels 1-4.

Will it be free for the games?

one way to make sure it always shows up all the way to the left is to enter a carriage return before doing the photo insert.

And if you want it really centered, as I've done for T-gal above, put the cursor before the insert and hit the "align center" icon in the second group of tools from the left in the composition tool bar.

Also nice to hit the return (Enter) two or three times, to provide a little more space between the text and the picture.

Thx Biff & JS for the tips!

Milford- Usually the "T" stood for Trouble, but I'll take Technology any day.

I didn't know that the Amish were investing in technology to the point they were having their transportation equipped or that they would loan you a carriage.

"carriage return" .....haven't seen that term since my Navy Yeoman days. Might puzzle some of our younger fans. Seems ancient.

Biff is very tech savvy.

It's just that his language is stuck in . . .

Well, I won't name the year, but an earlier time.
