I would also prefer the option to upload ‘comment’ photos using the same interface as ‘journal’ photos. It just makes it easier to keep all photos in one location.

Thanks in Advance….

Thanks for clearing that up, Nic.

To be honest, I think the case for direct uploads is much less clearer than it was a few years ago. When I first joined Folia, I was not a Flickr user and would quite have liked the functionality built in.

Since three or four years ago, most mobile phones include not only a respectable camera, but also WiFi connectivity and support for third-party sharing services such as Flickr. I believe some recent digital cameras offer the same, though I’ve never used a dedicated one that does so.

Therefore, it’s pretty simple to share photos to Flickr as I take them, and so I tend to upload the photos straight from my phone, then later write a journal from the computer. I can see that it might be useful to add a locally-sourced photo in some situations, but with the wide uptake of smartphones and the extensive availability of third-party sharing, I can’t see as much of a use case for local photo uploads as there used to be.

I would like to be able to use my photobucket pictures in these forum posts, But IMO thier are much more pressing items needing to be fixed before adding features. Like Supporters being punished when viewing a non-supporters list & being treated like a non-supporter. There again there are many bugs that need to be addressed.
