Hi, sorry to be annoying but I'm new and incapable of posting a photo on my iPad mini. Help would be great.

You need to have your photo hosted somewhere like Flickr or another photo hosting site, from there you need to grab the BBCode link for the image you want to post and past that code into your post.

Great, that's really helpful. Would Instagram work or would I have to make an account on brickshelf or Flickr?

Instagram should work: https://help.instagram.com/513918941996087

If they don't have a BBCode, just get the url to the image (not the HTML) and paste it in to your post with the tag.

Hmm... Does that link that's in all the jibberish take you to the post?

This is the url to your instagram page

You need to go there and get the url to the actual image. On a pc/mac it would be a right click and "copy image url", I think on an iPad you can press and hold on the image and a similar option should come up. I can't find my iPad to try it out

Edit: They have the images hosted in a Flash app or something, so you can't right-click and get the image. You might want to try searching and see if you can get the URL to an image there, otherwise you'll have to go with another service unfortunately.

Great, thankyou for all the help I REALLY appreciate it

Instagram doesn't have BB code. Flickr's BB code is also impossible to copy using an IPad. The best thing would be using a computer and Flickr using the BB code. Or just copy past the picture from the flickr app on your IPad. That is the easiest way to do it.

Ok thanks, would brickshelf work ok?

Brickshelf works, but there is some sort of photo moderation there so you can't point to a folder right away. I think.

Ok cheers

That's strange, it used to work. It seems to limit the amount of the Code according to the amount of screen space, so you can't copy the full code. It would be even harder on an iPad mini, since it doesn't work on a full size iPad. Using the desktop version of the site on iPad doesn't work either. This is all you get if you copy the image out of the Flickr app.
