pigeon controller Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Being away for three months makes my brain forget all the passwords etc but trying to post the picture today was most confusing , I previously would load the picture on photo box annotate the numbers and click on the link and wait for it to turn yellow and then copy to the post and would get the full picture . Today it would only give me a list of alpha numerics but it did post picture when I posted it. Have I been doing it wrong before or has the system changed??

Billy. Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Go to Imgur.com and upload your image. On the right hand side of the page, next to your newly uploaded image you want to copy the link which says something like i.imgur.com/yourpic.jpg Write your post and where you want to put your photo, click the little photograph box and paste your image link in there. Your photo will show up. Test it in this thread if you're worried you'll get it wrong. I'll help you out if you're stuck. This is a much better way to post images and you don't need to remember passwords or deal with resizing. Edited August 16, 2015 by Billy.

Billy. Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/wgcA7Eb.jpg Almost... You need to insert that link using the image tool button during the writing of your post. Click the icon and paste the image link into the box. Also, instead of hosting that image with imgur, just copy the link from the address bar, click the image icon when you're posting and paste that link in there. When you 'host' an image, you're giving an image to a service which will look after it and allow it to be viewed. If the image doesn't exist on the internet, then you want to host it to be able to share it. If the image already exists online, then you rarely have to host it again, as a service is already offering for online viewing. You'd do no harm hosting it again, but you'll just waste your time. The photo you were sharing is hosted on a number of sites. I've taken one which Pinterest is hosting. Here is what it would look like and the code to make it possible (if you're interested) Image link: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/56/3b/e0/563be0c4c9398d5eb281cfc2a6ca52c3.jpg What this forum wants to see if you want a photo to show: [img=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/56/3b/e0/563be0c4c9398d5eb281cfc2a6ca52c3.jpg] By clicking the photo icon and pasting the link, the forum writes the relevant code seen above and produces this for you: Edited August 16, 2015 by Billy.

Passionforangling Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) http://imgur.com/OGYnD14 I think the above link works but I couldn't see any little photo box that you refer to above. I'm on an iPad if that makes any difference? Thanks for your help with this, I should learn how to post pictures!

JDog Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 PC, I think it would be best if you never posted any more pictures so that those of us with no pigeons do not get so jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
