Howto deliver a drawing to members ...

FluxBB does not support delivery of images directly.

As an experiment, today I made a drawing on paper.

I used a smart phone to take a picture of the drawing (any device with a camera can do the same)

I then uploaded the image to imgur.com, which provides a BBCODE link after the image is accepted.

Finally, I added the BBCODE link to a post in the forum.

In my case, I used email to send the image from the smart phone to a desktop computer, and from there uploaded to imgur.com

My guess is that the same operation could be performed directly from a smart phone, but someone else can add a post about that if they would care to do so.
