Attach Photo to a Post Update and/or Upload Wall Photos (I'm not talking about to a Link post)
I understand you can add a photo thumbnail, title and description when posting links to Facebook profiles or pages, but, I would like to add a photo to my wall with a post update (so not outgoing link).
It is now possible to attach photos to your wall posts.

Hi Gaye!
To add a photo to wall post you'll need to have a Twitter profile attached to your HootSuite account. This allows you to log into the Owly image hosting service. More information about how to attach an image can be found here: http://help.hootsuite.com/entries/21570832-attaching-images-or-files-to-messages
Hope this helps!

HOW! all the directions tell you the click on the "paper clip" but it only opens a box that says "select Profile" that never goes away even after I click the facebook page I want to upload to, nothing ever populates in the "select profile" box and it never goes to let me add a picture. So Frustrated

uh, ok, HOW do I use this? HS asks to associate with a twitter account for the upload. WTF?

As Doug said, please upload photos in HQ. Right now they are downsized, which makes them look crappy.

Hi, my scheduled photo posts are not showing up on my fan page wall at all and they just went into the album. Is this a known bug? I am considering terminating my premium account if this does not get fixed. Thank you!

Yes, I want to be able to post to my FB wall and to Twitter at the same time. Putting up some link to ow.ly... doesn't do the job. Nobody's gonna click on that link on FB. It is not the same as putting a photo directly on your wall.
You should fix this, otherwise people will stop using it (I certainly will).

Great! How about an option for higher quality or original size/quality photos added to "HootSuite Photos" Facebook album. The current resizing and compression yield unacceptably low quality photos.

That's not correct, the photos are attached to "Hootsuite Photos" album but after the first upload the images are not shown more on wall

Yes, please, absolutely! I was really hoping to upload directly to Facebook as well!

When I use the Facebook site to include a photo with my status update, that photo is added to the photo album 'Wall Photos'. It would be great if Hootsuite could do this, rather than just making the photo available with a link. Furthermore, I'm tempted to switch from Hootsuite to Sendible because the photo links on Sendible don't include any content besides the image.
