uncle fester Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Hi all - I'm having a hard time with IMGUR lately and being able to get to my photos to post in threads, do people use other sites for posting photos that they would recommend? (Maybe this is a lounge question, but some folks here post some nice photos...) Rgds - billroy Edited July 16, 2019 by billroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drathbun Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I just posted the following on another thread. It is instructions on how to use the Imgur app to post images in this forum. The mobile app does not have the features of the desktop browser website of Imgur. If you are using a desktop computer (Mac, PC or Linux) you can go to your images on the Imgur website and just click on the image you want to post and it will show you the image larger with a range of copyable links on the right side. Just click the BBCode copy button and come in here and press CTRL (or CMD) V for paste. If you are using an iPhone or Android version of Imgur, try the process below. I haven't tried this with Android, just the iPhone app, and it works. Ok. I'm giving this a try on my iPhone. I have the Imgur app. I've gone to my images, tapped on the image I want to post and touch and hold on the image to bring up a menu. Choose "Share" and then "email". This will paste the URL for the image into the body of the email. Copy that URL and paste it here... Okay. I had to cheat. This is the cheat. Do everything I said above but when you paste the URL into the text box here in the forum, you have to edit it a bit. This took me some trial and error. The URL I got from Imgur in my email body for the above image came out like this "http://imgur.com/gallery/abunchofcode" where "abunchofcode" was "kaADKBE". Every image will be different. Do these edits to the URL: 1. Add an "s" to the "http" so it says "https" 2. delete "/gallery" 3. add "i." in front of "imgur.com" 3. add ".jpg" to the end of the bunchofcode So the above example would end up looking like "https://i.imgur.com/abunchofcode.jpg" If you preview the posting with the preview icon just to the right of the "Size" option on the upper option bar of the posting window (fonts, bold, italic etc), you'll get a banner that says "Posted as rich text. Paste as plain text instead." If you touch that banner, it will insert the URL as you edited it and then you can hit "Submit Reply". That's how it worked for me.

kidblast Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Bill if you have a facebook account, upload them there, then with FireFox view the full image, (just click on it) point the mouse to anywhere in the photo area, and click the right mouse button (or mouse button 2)... use use the option "COPY IMAGE LOCATION" go to the thread in the forum you want to drop a pic in, and open a reply or new topic.. In the forum edit window where you would type your text, click "Insert other media" (lower right, just above the "submit reply" button) and click "insert image from URL", paste the link from "COPY IMAGE LOCATION" in the space provided for the link. Change https to http, and BANG, you're there. that's all there is too it bud Edited July 17, 2019 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) KB - your a tech guy, why can't i just think what i want it to do - and then it happens. could you do something about that? Age of information, should be a way to do it. ps - i did figure out my issue with IMGUR (this time) but seems to have a lot. Will investigate the options above (and again ty all) Edited July 17, 2019 by billroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
