Yeah, that's right. Today our forum steps into the 21st century. No more need to jump between image hosting sites trying to find the correct share link.
There are two ways to upload a photo:
Method 1: Simply drag and drop a photo into the editor where you're typing your comment. You can place it wherever you want it to appear in the post. It will automatically upload to our photo server.
Method 2: when you want to add a photo to your post, hit the image icon in the editor toolbar (directly to the right of the quotation mark). There will now be a third tab available in that dialogue box called "upload." Click that. Then simply select your file, wait for it to upload, and then hit "ok" when it sends you back to the first tab in the image dialogue box.
And now without further ado, watch this:
**drumroll**
There is an upload limit, but it's time-based and as long as you aren't uploading a ton images at once, you shouldn't hit it.
If you don't see the upload tab, you probably have to clear your cache.
Works for me from my phone! Hurray!

Just a random picture I have on my desktop. Thanks for making the change, it makes things easier to upload pics this way.

Try going to settings, scroll down till you see "safari". Hit that then scroll to the bottom and hit "advanced." Then hit "Website data". type grassrootsmotorsports in the search bar and hit search. Tap edit in the bottom right. Hit the red icon that appeared next to grassrootsmotorsports.com and then confirm that you want to delete it.
Then go back to Safari and go to grassrootsmotorsports.com. You'll have to login again. I think you should then be able to see the upload tab.
Ooooh, from my iPhone I just "copied pic" and pasted it here. Like magic!!!
i'm not getting third tab on phone or browser, but the tabs are different than they were about an hour ago. Maybe the buffers need time to refresh...

woo hoo!
From my Android phone...
Not working for me? Drag and drop doesn't do anything, and I don't see the extra tab under the "Image" icon.
Ah! Super excited about this! I'll actually be able to post pictures!
In reply to Tom_Spangler and ultraclyde:
have you cleared your cache?
In reply to KyAllroad (Jeremy) :
Hm. Looks like that didn't quite work. Unless I'm the only one who can't see your photo.
In reply to Ed Higginbotham :
NOPE, that didn't work either.
Just had to do it again.... now it works.
In reply to KyAllroad (Jeremy) :
Make sure you wait until the photo is done uploading. You can tell it's done by when it changes size to fit the post width.
