Uploading pics using iPad

[Splinty]

Hello!! I am using my iPad to read and post here. I can't seem to figure out how to upload pics. When I go into the upload section at the top I can't click the choose file button to get to my photos on my iPad. The choose file button is grayed out. I know you can only upload jpeg, png & gif files but I thought the iPad was jpeg. Any help would be appreciate. Thank You

I do believe there is rule in place to prevent spammers that you must post 10 times in order to upload a pic.
go to the index, down to rules and see what info you can find.
yipe, I told you incorrectly, here it is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=437370

Thank You so much for your help. I didn't see anything in the rules and then was just about to post to you when I saw the link you put in. We are very new to chickens (got our first 3 on Tuesday) and I am finding these forums very informative. Hopefully I will be able to post pics soon. Again Thank You for your help.

Actually we're not sure that our upload system is compatible with iPads, but we'll look into it.

Oh ok.... Can you please let me know if iPads are when you find out? If I CAN post pics using it I will let you know as well.

Ya, that's above my payscale. I have no idea why the upload feature would work on a Mac, but not the iPhone or iPad.

Apple has disabled all uploading to any site on the iPhone/iPod/iPad unless there is an app for it. It's a stupid policy.

Well, since we're not intending to create a BYC app any time soon, I guess people will just have to use a workaround like uploading to a site that supports these devices and then using the IMG tags to show their pics on BYC, or getting their pics to a desktop computer.

I just saw that it doesn't work. Thank You so much for looking into it. If anyone knows of an app that let's you upload pics from an iPad can you please post it. Till then I'll just use my pc.
