Soap Box Uploading photos?
| Bringing this topic back to the forefront for those with Apple devices. |
| IOS 5 and lower does not support file upload via the Safari Web Browser. However IOS 6 does support it. If you are using an IPhone 3GS, 4, 4s, then you can upgrade your device to IOS 6. the Iphone 5 already comes with IOS 6. If you are using an IPad 2, or IPad ( 3rd generation ), then you also can upgrade to IOS 6. The Upgrade to IOS 6 is free. Here is a guide on how to upgrade to IOS 6. Hope this helps our members. |
| I found the solution, or lack of one. Apple doesn't allow File Browse controls in its native web browser. The only way to get this integration is to run it through an custom APP, which we don't have at this time, or installing a third party browser. There are a few aftermarket web browsers that do support file browse Opera Mini Web Browser ( might support file upload, not sure ) Which is Free ICab Mobile Web Browser ( comments online said it supports file upload ) Costs $1.99 Keep in mind I haven't been able to confirm these since I don't have an Iphone. Somebody with an IPhone or Ipad please install the Opera Mini Web Browser, and confirm if you are able to upload photos with it. |
| Thanks for the detailed feedback. That helps me to diagnose what is wrong. I am researching this right now. |
| I just made some improvements to the file upload controls. Anyone with an IPhone or IPad, please try to upload a photo with your device, and let me know if it works correctly. Thanks -Webmaster |
| Try a different browser. The stock IPhone browser has issues. ( still trying to figure out why ). Download Firefox, or Opera from the APP store ( they are free ) and try to browse the site and upload a photo with that instead. If you still have problems let me know. |
| What browser are you using on your IPhone? Have you tried downloading an aftermarket browser from the APP Store ( such as opera, or firefox )? Also what network are you on? ( ATT or Verizon ) Does it do it everytime or just sometimes? This has been an issue for quite some time. Unfortunately I don' t have an IPhone to test certain functions of the site. The new site should support all mobile devices, and then depending on growth, we may considering developing APPs for both Iphone and Android, giving users a much more touch friendly interface. |
| This is something that we are trying to correct with the new site. However its more of a apple issue than our issue. As they make it harder to integrate than the android phone, pc, etc.... But we are trying to solve the software issue. As apple does not like flash. |
