Attaching pics from an iPad/iPhone

Bill,
I'm going to direct this to you.
I have no problem posting 1 thumbnail, it's when I try to post more than one.
What happens is as I try to post a second thumbnail it accepts it, but deletes the
first one I just posted, in other words I can't post more then 1 thumbnail per/post.

Kerry -

I think you are referring to adding attachments to your post. Just to be clear, you don't actually post thumbnails. You post pictures (as attachments), and the site creates the clickable thumbnails at the bottom of your post. To confirm that the site works, I created 3 quick jpegs, and attached them to this post. To do this, you must go to the bottom of your post and click Manage Attachments while the post is still open. Click Browse, then select a pic. Then click the next Browse, then select another pic. And so forth. When you have selected all you want, click Upload, wait for it to be done, then click Submit.

Yahoo! (That's an emotion, not the mail server.) I think we have solved it! I noticed that my wife's iPhone does not do everything the same as on a "real" computer, even if an application (e.g. Firefox) or a site (e.g. TMO) has the same name. Apparently the interaction between TMO and iStuff is not the same as between TMO and a Windows or OSx computer. I recall the discussion we had last week regarding rotation of pictures from an iThing. Same thing here? Dunno, but we have an answer for this issue.

Thanks, Kikeen, for bearing with us as we searched for an answer.

Thanks for your help Bill.
When we used to travel using the RV I took my laptop along. As long as I have FoxFi on my phone I don't need hotspots as long as I have a signal. And since I have unlimited data I'm good to go.
All I need to do is download photos to my pictures using windows explorer and I then upload them to TMO.
Again thanks
Kerry
p.s just uploaded these from my Android phone.

I have this problem all the time with my iPad and trying to post pictures to the forum. There is no way of renaming the jpg on the iPad...(come on apple, get this fixed), and that seems to be the issue. When you upload it seems to act like it will allow you to upload two or more, but indeed they overwrite each other.

So when I really want to upload multiple pictures, I have to go to the old desktop, transfer pics from iPad and then rename and upload. So I try to only upload one at a time.

Read my post above yours, if you have an Android phone or mayby even an Android device you can also load from it. If you want to use your IPad, send the pictures from the IPad by e-mail and use your Android device or your PC to post the photos. Since I use my. Smart phone to take pictures I won't have a problem. Note here, an I Phone probably won't work either.
