My medication never lies

Used Sunlight sales posted:

I got a new phone and I'm still a bit behind the tech curve and haven't figured out how to get pics out of it and to Imgur so I can post them here. I was transferring them to my computer and uploading them, but there's got to be a better way.
Which Phone? This forum is full of geeks, I'm sure one of us can help. If it's a smartphone, there's a good chance there's an app for Imgur. I'm on Android and I know there's one on the Google Play market.

Oh, duh. I'm using a Galaxy S5 on Verizon. I have tried a couple apps, but none are really satisfactory.

Ah, I have the same phone. Personally, the official app has been garbage for me. It's pretty spotty when connecting. I've had far better luck with ez imgur. Anything in particular that you didn't like about the other apps you tried? I can play around with a few and see if any are better.

Or, like rscott mentioned, you could try something like dropbox/skydriveOneDrive/Google Drive. Those usually have a photo sync feature so that uploads are automatic, if you like.

Hrmm,

Speaking of, I use an old beat up Galaxy Nexus. What is the most efficient workflow for using the Android SomethingAwful App to upload a photo from my phone to the forums ?

Good question. I mostly use the Awful app for browsing. I figured I'd test it out now.

Sample pic:


Well, with the above pic, I used EZImgur. It uploaded easily enough. Problem is, when I try to get the URL to post the pic, it just copies the URL. It doesn't offer the bbcode like the full site does, so I had to add the [timg] [/timg] tags. I'll have to play around a bit and see if there's an easier way.
