Pictures cannot be posted onto most forums without a picture hosting website, the picture is turned into code which is recognised by the embedded forum software and then decoded back into a picture.

Repair / replace the laptop, it allows for better editing and workflow. :thumb:

I post from Flickr using my iPad Mini 4. I open Flickr with Firefox, go to the share option as you would on pc or laptop, and select BBCode. I tap just after the [ and then drag along and down until the link is selected and then pressing the little blue placeholder. The option to copy appears aboveby. Copy, then Paste the link to the forum, remembering to put the [ before the link.

Hope this helps.
