Don't think we can. But if you find out how, lemme know!
Probably need to send it to twitpic or some other host, and then copy the embed link here. But that's too many steps for me. :(

Yeah, that was the same sort of thing I had to do.

The same way you do from a computer. Select upload attachment, choose file, then add file.

That's the problem: it's one at a time. If you have a number of pictures, it's way easier to upload your pictures to one of dozens of sites and add a link. And on my Android - with old guy's eyes - it's practically impossible to view this forum anyway, let alone upload a picture. I expect it's just as easy with an iPhone.

As far as I know, it's iPhones lack of flash support that won't allow uploading of files to the forum.

It's actually a file system limitation. Mobile Safari doesn't provide access to the photo library that's on the phone, so it just basically ignores file uploads.

Same. One of the great things about Android is that it gives access to the file system. I can install flash if I want, but everything worth using has dropped it thanks to Apple.

Not saying flash doesn't suck..but if I buy a device, I want it to support it. Nothing worse than surfing to a site, only to find out your device won't load it.

I'm actually thankful for it most of the time and have it blocked on my desktop machine and my laptop.

I'm with you. Replacing something you don't like with something that is 100% non-functioning is......let me take some time-out to properly sugarcoat this response, lol.....

Headed to Rockbottom shortly, then off to H&T. We may even sit on the deck (I can almost hear Derek laughing).

I typically use my computer or Blackberry. Spurred quite the debate...

Has anyone else been down to try the beer?
On Tap "in bottles": winter beer (spiced beer, nutmeg, cinnamon, star anise, ginger, cloves)

Was just down tonight and had both of the 'new' beer. Raging Smack is delicious - I've decided that I like NASH's India Red Ales quite a bit. I don't think I've ever had a beer that tasted as much like grapefruit juice as the Double Citra Smash DIPA (which I consider a good thing) so I also enjoyed that. Though, I have to admit I have seen more visually attractive beer than that one (it's pretty murky).

Glad to hear you enjoyed the beers!

Re Murky Citra SMaSH; this is what happens when you mill malted barley into flour then make beer with it (aside from a little astringent smack)! :? I even fined the ass out of it and withheld the release for an extra week waiting for it to clear up a little but no go... At the end of the day, it tastes decent so it's on tap :cheers3:

Decent enough tasting that I had three on Saturday when I was in with my brother. He got the last Blackness so I missed out on trying one of those.
