iPhone or computer

90%+ of the time I am on my phone when I visit the forum. I read the magazine on my iPad typically, but sometimes use my laptop since it has a screen that folds into a tablet.

I work from home and use a desktop pc for work, gaming and the forums - rarely use my phone for anything but calls and few texts. Eye sight is not what it used to be.

I use my phone if I want to add photos and videos to a post that are taken from my phone. I have trouble with photos downloading from my IPhone onto my windows pc. Seems Apple products don't want to mesh with the windows products. Or maybe its me.

If I'm home I use my pc, otherwise phone or tablet.

+90% of the time it's from a PC/laptop. On rare occasions (owing to a laughably small data plan) I browse the Forum from my Android phone (a Note 4), and have posted pics from it -- if I have Wifi available.

I have had little issue moving photos to/from my phone to either my laptop or (Android) tablets via Bluetooth. The only non-response I've had was to/from...you guessed it, an iPhone. It would pair with my phone, but subsequent attempts to transfer a photo from the iDevice produced bupkis.

I have heard of artists on YouTube who make digital artwork using iPads also being unable to move images to their non-Mac PC's without resorting to digital acrobatics like cloud storage or emailing to oneself.

Almost always use a desktop PC (work from home).  I have a big three monitor set-up for work, etc.  I like having big screens and lots of real estate so I prefer the desktop PC for OGR and almost any task besides.  By comparison, the phone is portable but tedious.  Occasionally, if I'm out and about and I have time to kill, I use my phone to access the forum.  I never read the digital mag so I'm an idiot for paying for it.  I'm a paper magazine man.  I love it.  I read it over lunch at my kitchen table and straight to the recycle bin.

I do a lot of things with my phone, but reading this forum isn't one of them. I've tried, and I find that the screen is just way too small to read something like a forum post. Navigation is tough, too.

I use my Ipad or a computer (three different PC's and a MAC) here.

Just curious, do you go to the forum or digital magazine via iPhone or computer such as laptop.

I do my computer work on two 28" monitors with a real keyboard and mouse.  It's also nice to have an Altec Lansing Quad Audio system to have some music while I browse.

I generally visit and post here with an iPad and on occasion while at work with my iPhone. Real life requires a Surface and multiple screens,

Most of the time on my home PC, seldom on my Android phone.  Once in a while, like now, on my iPad.  When posting photos, always on the PC.

I-pad 95% of the time. I-phone is too difficult.

iPad Air

I have a 17 inch laptop I use nearly all the time for this.  This is my second one, and it is much lighter than the first (mainly since HP ditched the built-in CD/DVD drive.  I have an iPad mini I mainly use with a drone, and sometimes I'll use that for OGR while drinking coffee in the morning.  I have an iPhone 13 mini, so doing any web browsing stuff on that is annoying.

I agree with Dan Kenny that Apple doesn't make it easy to work with Windows.  To post pictures I'll send an email to myself with the pics as attachments, and then drop the pictures onto my desktop from my email program, and then attach them to OGR with my browser.  Not too hard, but should be easier.

MAC and IPad, mostly.......rarely on my IPhone (only when I'm not home).

Hi Tex,

Have you tried copying your iPhone photos as an iCloud link and emailing or texting the link? It takes up no space in your email. I’ve been using this feature lately. Try this. Select a photo, and instead of clicking copy click instead on “copy iCloud link”. Wait a moment for the apples to process. And then proceed as you would normally.

Every day from my laptop at home.

Occasionally from my phone (if I am out) with six pairs of eyeglasses if I am desperate for the joy this forum brings.

99% iPad Air, some iPhone 12(better camera).  Airdrop to iPad.  Have a new combo laptop/tablet(Win 11 Home) that I transfer photos/videos to via USB-C cable.  Right, airdrop to windows doesn’t work(without third party). These photos of my transfer of files might help others.  Don’t know why any USB port wouldn’t work the same. Click for larger view.  YMMV

I use an iMac & iPhone Pro for the OGR Forum and I use a hard copy for the OGR Magazine.

WRW, thanks for the note.  I don't do cloud anything.  Yet another subscription, yet another hackable concern.  Both of those issues are bigger to me than the pain of an occasional email dance.
