I want to add a photo to a post on this forum from my iPhone. I thought hitting the attachment button is the way to do this but when I do, I just get a half screen with one of those scrolling choose what you want thingees with only the word attachment in it. (I'd post a photo of it but.....). Can someone dumb this down for me? I mean really dumb it down cause I've read how to do this before on this forum and I still can't.

How I did it

Hi Mac n Cheese,

I created the screenshot with "command+SHIFT+4"

It was placed as a file on my desktop

I pushed the manage attachments button below

Chose the file on my desktop

pushed the upload button

previewed the post to see if it was there

submit reply.

Thank you. I was wondering how to do this on the iPhone. I should have been more specific in the thread title so I edited to reflect this.

Scroll down below your post until you see manage attachments. This then opens a second window (pictured). Choose file will give you two options. Take a picture or choose existing. Do whichever you want, then upload. Close that screen. Then submit your post. You should see your attachment below.
