Posting pictures in a forum discussion


Figured not everyone knows…

Here’s how I do it:

1. Log into Imgur. You can use your google or apple account

https://imgur.com/

2. click the upload icon (top left circled in red)


 

2. choose Photo Library then select an image you want to post and upload it


 

3. Click on your user icon top right the  select Posts and select All - you will see your images posted to Imgur 

4. click on the image you want to post 

5. click and hold if on smart phone or tablet, until menu pops up from which you will select Copy

6. Go back to the forum.

7. Click the picture icon above the text window in a forum (middle right f toolbar) the following dialogue will open where you will past the image link, then click anywhere on that screen until the picture size numbers show up in boxes. Use between 150-350 which usually resizes the image to fit the window 

Have fun!

Thanks for the tutorial on adding a picture to an Agon post.  I downloaded Imgur on an Apple IPad and phone. Everything went well until you got to putting a finger on the picture. Your box says copy, my box says copy link. 
Any suggestions?

@curiousjim yes. I suggest you use the website and not the app. I was using the imgur website. App doesn’t seem to allow you to copy the image location the same way the website does

 

@audphile1 thanks for posting this step-wise. Half the time or more i have screwed it up in the past.  This will help. (I hope.)
