    I'm not sure if this is the correct categorization for this issue, so if a mod thinks it belongs somewhere else, please move it.

    I've noticed on my phone with Android 4.4.2 that I can't upload pics on Pinside. With the stock browser under normal settings the website acknowledges that I'm on a mobile device, thus disabling the drag-and-drop box, and displays the upload button. When I press the button the only thing that happens is a box behind it gets highlighted. No file browsing prompt comes up.

    I've tried setting the browser to request the desktop version of the site, but get similar results.

    Anyone else have an issue uploading from an Android?

    It would be great to be able to post pics directly from my phone so that I don't have to wait until I get onto a computer and plug my phone up to it get the pictures and upload.

    Thanks!
    Jim

    I hope to look into this and possibly fix the issue in the not-to-distant future.

    In the meantime, would it be an idea to switch to another browser? I think I heard Chrome on Android does not have these issues? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not an Android user myself.

    Hmmmm, when did this break? I'm using Chrome with a Note 2.

    Same on Skyfire browser.

    I use an Android phone or tablet running 4.4.2. with a Chrome browser. I've never had any issues uploading pictures. Must have a setting switched that it needs? Keep trying, it should work. BigB

    The photo I uploaded above I did using my Note 2. I don't know what version because I just updated to the latest Verizon update. My phone is charging while I'm on lunch now so I can't look. It did take 2 tries for the upload to work. The first time I hit the button and selected a photo, nothing happened other than returning me to the thread. I refreshed the thread and was then able to upload.

    I guess it works in Chrome for me! I'll keep that in mind.

    Marking thread as resolved.

    OP, you're welcome to reopen this if desired but please include detailed browser information.
    One possible way to get this information is to browse to about: (colon is important; and you'll likely have to hand-enter this in. Note there is no http:// in front; just "about:" without the quotes).

    For my Nexus 7, as an example, the default browser is Chrome 43.0.2357.92, and it works.
