Depends on what/how easy you

Depends on what/how easy you mean. It seems that it always involves a multi-step process.

What's hard about it?

It's also not that easy Joe.  I attempted to upload some last week.  It won't let me select a file it just hangs and won't do anything.

What device and browser?

What device and browser is this?

I have a Galaxy J-3 with

Its not that hard and it's

Its not that hard and it's not so easy either. I think the biggest issue is that it is pretty well a totally different photo uploading format than pretty well all the other forums and groups out there so the u/i and the steps required to post an image is not that obvious. I've used pretty well all the various posting formats that forums,newsgroups and blogs  have used over the past 20 years...and this one is quite a bit diffrent than the others...plus it is a 5-6 step process. Once you have it figured out and have used it a few times its easy but until then it isn't obvious how to use it.

It's true

I don't usually use my phone for the forums, but I just checked and on my Samsung Galaxy 7 with Chrome, there is no toolbar on the comment box.

The editor is a Drupal module

I just checked my iphone...

I just checked my iphone... it does have the usual toolbar and photo upload icon 

iOS seems fine, it's some Android devices

iOS devices seem fine, it's some Android devices that are reporting a problem ... so the hope would be the latest version of the editor software would address this problem.

Not Mobile Friendly

Joe;

I almost exclusively use my iPhone 7 for browsing and posting on this forum. Posting a photo is easy but not done easily. The screen does not format based on the device size so the icons and menu do not scale for simple use. Panning and zooming are something to become accustomed to doing but not quite as simple as press-to-copy an image and paste to a post. Uploading a file, rotating, scaling, and inserting can sometimes turn into browsing the folder, sorting by date, etc, etc. 

The camera in this phone is amazing so. The portability of the phone and fast connection makes the trade off worthwhile. The groups forum allow a post to be emailed, including photos, so wonder if that is a possible direction for here. 

Example:

Is this Android issue

Is this Android issue widespread enough to warrant all the hassle to change the system Joe?

This site is not yet mobile enabled

Yep, we're not yet mobile-friendly like we want to be ... long story. The mobile-friendly version of the Drupal software is out (version 8, we're on version 6) but the add-on modules we commonly use are not available yet. So we just sit on our hands waiting for the additional modules we need to finally get updated. They will get there eventually, and then we'll upgrade.

That's the way it goes when you use free open source software. You move at the speed the volunteers choose to move. We can easily make MRH free taking this route, but we won't often be able to use the latest tech since as much of our backend as we can get for free, that's what we'll do.

It's the price of free. If we charged for the magazine, we would have more funds and could buy more backend software, or pay programmers to write custom code for us.

When we started MRH, the iPhone had just been out for a year and there was no Android OS. Two years in, the iPad was introduced and the smartphone craze started along with the new Android OS arriving. Here we are eight years in now and mobile devices have become THE WAY many of you frequent our site. Meanwhile, the truly mobile-savvy version of Drupal core (the free open source software we use to power this site) only came out last year. The add-on modules generally take a couple years to finally all get updated.

Thanks!

By the way, I am not complaint about free. Just a little inconvenient. If it helps pay the bills then I would be happy to subscribe as a paying member but, frankly, I like the ads and don't mind the futzing with posts. Besides, it doesn't really make sense for MRH to pay for software to support a free site. Understood. 

Thanks for the explanation. When it finally is updated there will be something else to consider. Would you consider making the MRH app push to the Apple Watch? (LOL). 

Android and photo uploads/missing toolbar

Thats awesome quality..my

Neil....Thats awesome photo quality in your gecko banana pic..my previous snake pic was taken using an iPhone6.

Simple resize

My iPhone has ( had?) an app called Simple Resize. It took any mobile photo and brought it down to the 720 size. It unfortunately is not being updated by the developer.

@Gene - you started this with the lillys and snake! Good shot! (Thanks for the nice comment 1 out of 1000 shots  taken turn out that I like)

@Tom - I have one that works well too but the MRH tool works well too.

I've tried a couple of other

Success on Android!

Okay this image was posted from my Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy S7 using the request desktop version trick.

The "view desktop version" option is under the 3 dots menu in the top right of the screen.

It works.
But it is kind of painful trying to navigate the screen and dialog boxes.

Go it! I hope. Had to some

Go it! I hope. Had to some looking, but finally found the desktop link. Thanks Bill for the idea

I should have mentioned: The "view desktop version" option is under the 3 dots menu in the top right of the screen.

Yup. Thats where I found
