One day this forum might embrace Tapatalk, a free app for your phone which enables you to take and instantly upload photos. No need to resize or upload them somewhere else, which is sometimes the difference between posting or not

1) get a photo hosting account from a free site like photobucket
2) upload your photo to the aforementioned site
3) get the web link for the photo (usually these sites have a "share" section which allows you to get the link
4) copy and past the link into the body of your post. It must have an Img code in front and after. I think photobucket does this for you already. If not then the little img icon up in the menu will place img codes and you just paste the link in between them.

Not sure about other sites but photobucket has a mobile app.

May take a couple tries but once you get the hang of it the process is pretty painless.

If you are new to photbucket, you may need to enable the right type of link, by default on my account it didn't show the correct type of link to use.

Once your photo is uploaded to photbucket, select the image in your library and you will see the links box along the lower right side of the photbucket web page. If you don't see one of the links starting withsomething like [IMG] src=...... The select the 'Update links Option just below the links shown. Then enable the "embedded " options. Once you go back to the image for which you want the link, you should now see the other embeddable options. You can copy the link and then use it in the spider.com posts.
