How to post pics, Imgur

Legionreturns · March 2018

@thebreeze ; they've done some sort of update recently. I now don't have to open each pic. Once you've got the preview screen, long press on an image and click "copy link address" and you can use that.

Thanks man, I get "copy link" option (not address) and then the same "Look Up" in the Fretboard box when I do that. Will keep trying. Thank you for your help.

From this screen:

I long press on the image to get this:

Which then let's me paste to get this:

If you try and do it too early, ie when it's still uploading, it doesn't work.

Thanks @Legionreturns - my Imgur screen looks nothing like that (I'm on an iPhone?)

@thebreeze ;Are you using the imgur app or just the imgur webpage?

I don't use the app if that makes a difference.

I think I'm using the app. I'll have a go going through the web-page (look at me, all techy all of a sudden

)

No joy

Legionreturns · March 2018

Bugger! I've no idea then. I'm guessing it's just because iPhones suck!

Imgur iphone app - go to the image you want. Long press on it and the standard iOS "share" options pop up. Hit copy image.

Then paste into the insert image box here and hit space

This is a reminder to myself ( and hopefully a help to others) as I keep forgetting how to post photos from my iPhone!

Hold down photo on imgur app, go copy link, press the downward triangle piece of paper looking tab above the fretboard text box. Paste it in this, and then hit space :

And don't forget to set the photo to public !

punchesjudy · April 2018

It worked? .. I think it worked.

It did. Thank you! I finally understand.

Fuengi · April 2018

Yep. Never works!

See....

You don't actually have to set it to "Public" - that just decides whether it's posted in the Imgur community pages as well. If private then only you and anyone you send the link to can see it.

@Roland hope you're the right person to tag - I'm struggling to post images using latest version of OSX from either Chrome or Safari. I can do it from my iOS devices though. Not sure if other Mac users struggling or if there's something weird with my machine, although it is showing same problem from both laptop and desktop. (Both have BitDefender installed, have tried turning that off but it didn't help).

Thanks in advance for any help, in the meantime I'll start using my phone to edit my classified thread. Ta!

@gringopig thanks also for the help you gave me on my classified thread!

Sorry. I’ve access to OSX

I'm sorry I've got access to OSX too ;-)

No mad rush as I've managed to get the images uploaded using my phone, just might be one to add to the bug/test list if there are any releases or fixes in the pipeline. Cheers!

@FreddieVanHalen I've had no issues on Mac - what's the trouble you're having exactly?

FreddieVanHalen · July 2018

@stickyfiddle when I try to paste the image URL into the small box that pops up from the attach image/file button, I can see the url just briefly as it's pasted, the text entry box disappears, but then there is just a blank space (or sometimes a small blank box) in the thread editing box at the cursor - the image never actually appears.

stickyfiddle · July 2018

Is it definitely a ".jpg" or ".png" url you're pasting?

Sounds like a non-direct-to-image-file link..

@stickyfiddle @Bridgehouse ;

I've just double checked with the browser interface in imgur gives you when you try to get a link, and the copy and paste text comes up as https://imgur.com/4WAgBrC

In my defence I couldn't see the end of the link when copying and pasting but I should have been more careful. Thanks for your time on this and apologies for the PEBKAC!

I find it easier to right click and chose “copy image address” or equivalent tbh

Elwood · July 2018

Anyone else finding the lmages have stopped appearing.If I copy an imgur link it doesn't appear in the post. If I add .jpg it flashes up for a second and then disappears.

I'm on Chrome via a windows PC.

EDIT - it works if I change the extension to .png even though it is a .jpg file.

Second EDIT - Scratch that. It was a one off. Now back to not displaying when I've added another picture.

Why is this so problematic, is there a maximum link or image size?

Howdy, Stranger!
