OK trying my tablet for pictures

No not able to add photos from my Android kitkat tablet, if they could find a way to get that to work it sure would be great.

Houzz experts any clues about how to do it?

Raven, I had to create an Ideabook with my pictures on my tablet.

Hummm OK how did you do that?I can create a new idea book but when I click on the upload area nothing happens. It's not opening up my gallery or the photos files. Works great on the pc.

I only have a computer...so I cant help with anything else

Well it's easy to upload the pictures but it's a pain to figure out where to put them lol. I nearly slapped myself trying to get my profile picture on here....this has a huge learning curve attached to it. I will have to wait and calm down before trying this with my tablet....or my phone which might have been easier because that's where I got that picture from lol.

I used SyncDroid to get the pictures off my phone to the computer but in hindsight I bet I can post pictures from my phone directly to the kt now....I'll try it and see what happens. Meanwhile I'll watch this thread to see how you go on with the tablet, mine runs kitkat too.

This is from my phone. Yesterdays camping sunset. I've switched back to my computer to edit...my phone takes a 1080 x 1920 pixels picture it looks terrible uploaded to the kt...I bet my PSP is going to get a lot of use again. :)

I'm finding only 1 person can "like" a post. That's weird. When I tried to "like" a post above it showed me who else "liked" it, but wouldn't add me.

I accidentally liked mine lol, you have to click on the thumb image Murraysmom. :)

Well having very mixed results with the various tablets and versions of Android.

I can upload individual pictures to my idea book from my ASUS transformer tf300 tablet with ICS using stock browser only not with UC browser.

No results at all for adding pics with Android kitkat tablet using any browser including stock.

Really terrible results over all with the Android tablets. I hope this is quickly resolved since I am mainly on my tablets now.

I had to come to my pc just to finish typing this response it was that bad on the tablet.

In fact on my Kitkat tablet using boat browser I can not access kitchen table at all it still shows the opps screen saying they are doing maintenance. I cleared everything on the browser and even did a force close on it and still can not get it to open this forum at all. It will open the Garden forums just none of the Home forums. Very strange stuff.

I love Griffin. But, in another thread, I was unable to post a pic that I dragged from my computer.

Thank you so much, Zipper!! So simple and yet I didn't get it at first!! Thanks again. I like having the "like" feature.

Trying the phone

That works well and I am using UC browser
Sure wish it would work on my newest tablet

Trying the kitkat tablet again nope still does nothing when I click on the + sign.

Thanks Moonie, he is a cutie, but a handful.. I posted the pic by dragging and dropping it from the picture files on my computer.

Looking at the top of Mt McKinley from the plane. Very lucky it was a clear day.

One of me getting oxygen while flying to the top of Mt McKinley.

Here's my attempt to post a photo.

This is a syrphid fly trying to look like a bee, but it has only one set of wings.

littlebit - why is your iris showing up to the left of the post topic on the board? Is it because it was the first photo posted? Is this the way the new format tells us a photo has been posted?

I don't see any actual photos to the left side of the topics, I see a tiny icon way over to the right side, a Polaroid picture with a paperclip on it, I guess it replaces the camera icon.

If you put your cursor over the picture it makes it larger.

Hmm . . . what do we do about spam?

You click the flag in the upper right of the box. Then you say why you're flagging it. I just did it for the spam that was here.

I flagged it as Spam too, amazing that the spammers have no problems using any of the features.

Raven you have to change your View Settings. Under the comment box to post a new topic you'll see :

58,705 Discussions | The Kitchen Table ------>scroll to the right -----------> See Latest Activity -----> scroll to the right and see 3 icons. These are View Settings. The first one just lists out all the topics on the main page and shows the paperclip. The middle one will show a picture to the left of the thread topic if one has been inserted in the original post. It will also show the first line of the last response in each thread and who last posted. This is also a link to the last post inside the thread. The last icon opens up the view even more so you can see more of the responses from the main page.

Posted from my iPod. A viola from a couple springs ago.

Okay, I'm trying to post a photo for the first time. This is a photo off the Pinterest site. It doesn't offer you the option of size or quality. I don't like the way it looks at all and it is too small. Gardening is a very visual activity and photos have the ability to communicate a lot, so why not allow for larger, better quality photos on the site?

edit: Well, actually that comes out pretty good. I still would like an ability to see a larger version of it.

PrairieMoon, what a gorgeous photo! I think they have to limit the size of the photos to conserve space, since you are uploading them to their own servers. I believe I read somewhere you can only load 4 photos into one post.

Annie, this thread is 3 years old! LOL

oh my...I did get in a time warp where all of a sudden all the posts were from 2008 and 2009!

Ah, there's a post from Tally.

Let me try. I posted a screenshot in the “what” thread and it looked blurry, even though it doesn’t in my pictures. Trying a normal photo.

I don't like this new set up, but I just wanted to see if anything changed in posting pictures which is about all I do any more. Not that I care but I didn't see Hot Topics in the Gardening section. Is it gone for good now???

Looks like nothing has changed, picture posting wise. I hate how it all looks though.

The hot topics has been in the Garden Section for as long as I know. Hasn’t been that long, but at least a couple of month.

Twilight zone. I don't have time for this.

Posting pics seems to work exactly the same for me as it always did. Not sure why some say it is a big improvement?
