Tutorial - How to insert/link images (from Imgur)

[AndrewF]

I still can't understand why you just can't follow the steps I did at the top of this thread. It SHOULD work! I mean - it's imgur, just like my pics!

But we're getting there!

I have been following your steps until 2am this morning. It's frustrating  but as they say just giggle around a bit until I get it right.

You do use the imgur app, I presume?

I suspect it'll be MUCH easier using the app rather than faffing around with browser urls...

Yes I am using the app.

Then I guess, but it's only a guess, that you're copying the pic link one step too soon.

First open the user
Then open the album
Then select the pic.
Then tap/clic the white "share"-button below the pic
Then select "copy link" in popup menu.

It is possible to get that "share" button for the entire album, but then you're not getting the pic. Rather the address to the entire folder/album.

No that's not correct,  I click on the photo. Then the share icon,  then the url copy which goes to the clipboard.
I then open the reply ,click on the picture icon,  then put the cursor in the middle of the two brackets PASTE and then delete the [img] both sides.
If I click on Review I can't see the photo, I post it  and then I go back to see if the https://i.imgur.com/EABZmG has come through.
I have tried to put the [img width=600]/i.imgur.com/EABZmG.jpeg[img]
But it comes back image not found or deleted.
But it is still in the gallery for all to see.

What if you don't do the part I've greened above? Does it make any difference?

OK.

That link is NOT to the picture, but to the folder or sub-folder holding it. When I open that link in the Imgur app, this is what I see.



If I now tap/click on your pic, I get this:



Do you see the small white button in the bottom of the screen? If I tap that, this is what I get:



Here, I choose "Copy link" and that's the link I then paste in the forum.

Are you with me?

[McColm]

Just have to remember how I did this.

Don't delete the [img] tags: they are what tells the forum to display the picture as a picture instead of a link.

The image link for that pic is: https://i.imgur.com/y5IxyAj.jpeg

When I put in into img brackets it looks like this on my edit screen (note that the 2nd set of img brackets have a / in them):



And the result is this:

Thanks for all your help and patience.

Thanks for all your help and patience. 

Our pleasure, Steve. Your ideas and builds are one very significant reason for me hanging out here, and it's a bliss being able to see them in the flesh.

I'm glad you've got it sorted out! And well done Pellson for the tech support
