Just got my first smartphone a galaxy s5. I tried the tap_a_talk thing and couldn't figure out how to get around SS on it. So I've not been using it. So I'm trying to post pics and when I select browse in the full page up loader it doesn't give me a gallery option to pull from, and that's where they are stored.

Any advise?? Any would be appreciated.

If you use Firefox you can post just as you do on the regular site. I've had a really poor experience with tapatalk and even now can't find a way to respond to posts.

Android's file structure doesn't lend well to browsers being able to upload files. That and the fact tapatalk "dumbs down" the website into something mobile friendly in display is why everyone uses it.

No go. Mine is different. I do have the 3 dots at the top and share is a option but gallery isn't in the share options. I can get to the clipboard and I copied a pic to it and can now see it there, but I can't do anything with it.

Posted from tapatalk on android. Just clicked on reply and the paperclip icon, then selected a file.

Thanks for the help, I've found that in tapatalk you can't post pics from quick reply you have to reply to a post to even see the paper clip. And it shows right up when starting a new thread.
Much thanks Andrew for getting me straight. New phone is smarter than I am.
