Title: How to post photos on the forum using Imgur Post by: Drahcir on August 04, 2017, 06:55:51 AM With Photobucket taking a turn and charging for their picture hosting I thought I'd make a replacement thread for those unfamiliar with imgur.com and their hosting service.
I won't be going into making a profile on imgur, for that you'll have to do a little research. In this thread I'm just going with the quick and simple upload option. 1) Go to imgur and click the "New Post" option in the upper left corner and select "Upload Images" (http://i.imgur.com/LyTgDHV.png) 2) Click on "Browse" to select and open the image(s) you want to upload. (http://i.imgur.com/anPORCd.png) 3) From there your image will upload and you will need to right click it and select "Copy Image Address" or something similar depending on your browser. (http://i.imgur.com/S7ZeGHC.png) 4) Place the link in your post where you would like the image to appear and highlight it. Click the insert image icon on the forum tool bar. (http://i.imgur.com/KUn3oxb.png) It's as simple as that, from there your images should show up on the forum without issue. I'm not sure how simple this is to do via mobile so keep in mind you may need to do a little experimenting if you're not working at a laptop or desktop. It's important to note you can't re access the images you post without a link if you don't set up an account - but that's optional.

So, for now, I'm stuck not posting anything. All it will do is display the link address, and that's annoying and don't want anyone clicking on it and all that, so blah. Love imgur though for all it's hilarious content Title: Re: How to post photos on the forum using Imgur Post by: Darth Blightus on August 22, 2017, 11:29:03 PM i know how to set profile pic with imgur. its a bit tricky though

Title: Re: How to post photos on the forum using Imgur Post by: Infinit01 on August 29, 2018, 10:01:07 PM The problem with Dropbox is that the moment you move the file or delete it on your end, that will kill the link.

Best of luck to you and if you figure out an easier way, let a brother know and I'll do the same.So, for now, I'm stuck not posting anything.

One thing to note, if you are using Imgur on desktop, if you click on the image you want to link to they actually have a listing of all of the different ways to link the images and 1 of them is BBCode, click the copy button and simply paste it into the thread, see the image below. Might be old news but something I thought was a helpful feature.

Pic removed...just a test after all. Still haven't figured out why my avatar won't stick...or how to delete a post...

In this case, that image being your Adegan Silver saber. Come back over to the forum. Ready to paste your image? Click the second icon from the left on the bottom of the two rows. Then paste. Easy peasy. Title: Re: How to post photos on the forum using Imgur Post by: Zren Tobas on February 10, 2022, 07:32:59 PM Uh, is imgur down at the moment?
