Any chance of getting an app upgrade so that we can add pictures in replies to topics? I can easily add one to a new topic like this… But not in a reply. Am I missing something?

When you hit "post reply" the screen that comes up on the bottom left corner is "add attachments" , click here to add pics.
Jeff - That's if you're on a computer - I don't have that box on the iPhone.
Flash - I know I can work around it, but why the need? Personally I use Flickr, not Photobucket but its a hastle...I can upload direct from the app for a new topic...seems like it should be relatively easy to add the attachement option to the reply box as well. Other than that, the app is awesome. It's really helped bring me back to the forum after a long absence...and in some ways has features better than accessing from a computer.

Instructions:
To upload pictures using an Apple iPad or iPhone, here is what you need to do.
1. Download the Chrome (google) web browsing app.
2. Download the Photobucket app.
3. Upload your pictures to Photobucket using the app.
4. while in Photobucket, select the picture you want to upload, then touch the little "i" in the bottom right corner, then touch the IMG code.
It should then say IMG code copied.
5. Open Chrome and go to the OGR forum, select "request desktop site" in the settings so the forum looks just like it does on a PC.
6. Create your post, paste the IMG code you just copied directly into the text entry block.
7. touch submit.

Many thanks for posting exactly what I needed to know.

Here's a thread from Hoop-dot-La support that discusses this upload issue. You need iOS6 or newer on your iPhone or use the workaround posted.
Excerpt from the end:
"The general rules are:
- Any device that supports Adobe Flash file uploads will be able to support uploads via the Standard interface.
- Any device that supports HTML5 file upload will support uploads via the Mobile interface.
For iPhones, photos and videos can be uploaded on any device running iOS 6 or higher.
For iPads, uploads are currently not supported at all.
For Android, Windows mobile, and other phones/tablets, it will depend on if the device supports uploads generally in the web browser via HTML5 or Flash. With the exception of the iPad, file uploads should be supported generally on the vast majority of modern mobile smart phones and tablets currently on the market (made within the past few years)."
