How to: post screenshots using ONLY your Iphone.

[utopi]

Hi guys, first I know this post has nothing to do with PL, but there are no "off-topic" yet.
Second, I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to read it.

My computer is broken, so I can't use it to post screenshots here.

I found a way to do it using only my Iphone. (So I share with ya'll, with a quick tutorial)

First you need to download from Itunes two apps that are FREE:

- CropForFree (used to rotate your pict to 90 degres since screenshots from PL will be on landscape mode)
- Photobucket Mobile (Image Hosting website app)

To take a screenshot: you have to push the home and power buttons of your Iphone at the same time (some people still don't know that)

Let's say I want to post the screenshot of the log in screen

Open the app "cropforfree"

The first screen will tell you to choose an existing picture from your camera roll.

Tap and choose the pict you want. (here the log in screenshot)




Tap on rotate 90degres, so you get this:



Now tap on save (the pict will go automatically to your camera roll)
Close this app.

Open Photobucket Mobile

Create an account if you don't already have one ( It takes 10sec and its free)

When you done, Tap on "upload media"



Now tap on "choose existing" and choose the pict you just created the step before using Cropforfree. The pict/screenshot will start uploading automaticaly.

When the transfer is done, tap on "my album", then tap on the picture. The picture will show full screen



Now tap on the "I" on the bottom right corner, you'll get this:



Now tap on the last line [IMG], the code (adress of the pict on the hosting website) will be copied automaticaly.

You done!!! Now just go on Spacetimestudio website and paste it where you want in your thread.



I hope this will help people who didn't know how to post picts and really wanted to show their badasss PL screenshots!
I created/posted this thread using only my Iphone

NB: Of course there are many other apps that will let you rotate and upload pictures. But those two are pretty easy to use.

Very nice, good and useful guide for all.

[setec]

Very nice tip.

[nerdherd]

Great explanation, thanks!

[utopi]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

The funny thing is that I have the CropForFree app, and I never knew it could rotate pics. I thought all it did was crop!

Thanks for the awesome guide. This process will be much easier than my previous method of emailing myself the pics, rotating them in Paint.NET, uploading them to Imageshack, and (finally) posting on the forums. Now I can do it all from the iPhone!

It doesn't work with iPodtouch though. I just tried it out.

thats too bad

re-edit:
PvP just told me that he was able to make it work with his Itouch. Maybe you should give it another try.

I think you still should give it a try, maybe your Ipod is not the same gen as Flamin. I don't have a Ipod, I would have try it.
Let me know.
