I recently got imgur and i am trying to add a picture from there directly onto forums but it doesnt work.

Its always just a link that doesnt open or a bunch of words etc as opposed to the actual picture showing directly on the forum.

Can somebody please advise as little point being on here if I cant contrubute. Cheers wink

It is a multi step process, but this works for me:

1. Click on this icon: User posted image

2. You will see a pop up like this: User posted image

3. Clear out the highlighted text: User posted image

4. Go to Imgur and select the Direct Link and press Copy: User posted image

5. Paste it into the box and press OK User posted image

6. Press Submit and a thumbnail should display in your message, and it will link to your photo.

Nice instructions and helpful for those having problems.

I actually recorded a video of the process but it got lost in the JC vaults somewhere.

Thanks, I just hope it helps. I would have gone the video route, but I'm at work, so I had to do this over about an hour.

Agreed. The site is simple and dated, but, it does what it's supposed to do. Upgrading it would be excellent but I doubt it will ever happen. That said, I would be willing to make a one time payment to fund improvements, as I'm sure plenty of other fellow JC'ers would.

If anyone can tell me what i did wrong in my post above it'd be greatly appreciated - I copied the share link from an image i uploaded to imgur, using the little green photo icon in the message here but it hasn't worked. This site automatically added the [img] at the start and end of the url. I'd love to know how to do this so a thumbnail appears in a message!
