Interesting question. Being an old dinosaur myself and carrying a cellphone only because everyone insists it might save my life one day, I have no idea since I'd never try that.

But the website has plenty of tech-savvy folk who should know, so let's see if any of them are trolling the boards today.

Yes, pics can be uploaded from your phone. The only problem is that they are HUGE and they take a while to upload.

Go to the attachment manager just like if you were on the computer. Search your phone for the pics and upload and them. Once they are uploaded to the site insert the link into your post and bam!

No if only there was a way to resize them...

Easiest way with the HTC EVO is having the Photobucket app. What I normally do though is I use a program called "Dropbox". It allows me to upload a file straight to the Dropbox servers which automatically sends it to a folder on my computer. After it's there I can edit the photos how I want and then upload them.

https://www.dropbox.com/home

You should take a look at it.

Easiest way to do it via iphone is have the photobucket app. Upload them there and copy paste link into the photo link here. As for resizing all that can be done on the app. It's under the settings section for uploading, auto sizes ranging for 1600X1600 to I think 480X620 if my resolution numbers are correct, to full size pics(takes forever and they're huge). I actually found the settings by accident haha, just gotta look around

OP mentions "HTC EVO" (Android) And you go and say "Easiest way to do it via iphone"

There's a few apps you can use to reduce photo sizes on your phone too, but dropbox is a great way to do it.
