    I have a windows 7 phone HTC type, before you redid site I could easily upload picture files from my phone. Now I cannot upload either from old style page or mobile page, in fact mobile does not even give me an upload manager and the original style will not browse my phone. Now I know that windows just did a major upgrade to the firmware of phone so that could have something to do with it.

    Please help if possible.

    Thank you, Gary

    "the original style will not browse my phone"

    I don't understand that. Do you mean the full-site version of the forum isn't viewable on your phone?

    I can use either version but when you are posting a new thread and want to attach files thier is no way to do that on mobile version and the regular PC style brings up a manage attachment widow but Browse will not BROWSE my phone for picture files.

    I'm not able to find anything that says any mobile phones are able to upload photos to any version of vBulletin. Not saying you couldn't do it before, but I can't find anyone else that was able to. Which makes it extremely difficult to troubleshoot.

    I have had this phone for over a year now and have used it to post treads and attach pictures to with no problem until a couple of weeks ago, you should be able to do this, smart phones are going to be in everyone's pocket within 5 years. I can't see why it won't work now after all my phone is just a tiny laptop.

    Trust me. I understand the frustration. I can't post photos from my iPhone.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Specifically with a Windows phone?

    Up until a couple of weeks ago I could upload pic. Files from phone to OI and to another orchid site with no problems. Now I cannot upload to either site. you say you cannot do this with your iPhone but any thread i posted in last 10months were from my phone. My computer has been down, just got new one--yippie, so i use my phone to search web and email, better and faster then computer for the last year.
