I always used tapatalk on my phone to attach pics to pms and posts BC it would be able to access my Camera roll. Now I'm tearing out my hair trying to figure out how to attach pics BC tapatalk is no longer working! Will tapatalk be updated soon? If not, how do I attach pics? I don't know how to use Dropbox or any other hosting sites... Yes I know I'm hopeless!

Let's try it out..
OK on my Android I hit reply, then below the reply box is upload a file. The documents, then gallery, choose pic and it auto loaded it.

I don't get/don't see "upload a file." Just a bunch of little icons, one of which is a picture but when I click it it asks for a URL. Are you using tapatalk or going from the website off the internet? I'm using the internet. Also, I have an iPhone...

Only Arachnosupporter Plus can attach to conversations.

The best way to deal with images is use a hosting site. They are designed to toss pics around the net. I use Photobucket. Works okay. Offers some pic editing of uploaded pics too. So make an account, upload, it will tell you the links, grab the image one and slap it into your post.
Try to get used to keeping your posts in only one place. The various hosting sites usually offer plenty of room for free and if you are a scatterbrained disaster area like me the site is handy to catalog and keep track of things.
