Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I used to used Imgur, but I HATE the app now that I've redownladed it and don't want to go there. Help a tech-challenged fellow out: What is the fastest most efficient way to get photos from my phone linked into a post on this forum? Ideally without having to shift from my phone to my laptop in the process. Also, I'm not a super fan of the board's own server's formatting of photos so I prefer outside services.

Aspecti Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Imgur is a pretty good option. You can take pictures with the Imgur app, upload them through the app and make the pictures private by default if you want to, so only people with the direct link can see them.

Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 OK, I'm giving Imgur another go, I guess. Thanks for the response!

Aramis K Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I use Imgur website. https://imgur.com/upload Once pic uploaded the share menu has a bbcode you can copy and paste here. I've had trouble with mobile site but if you use desktop site it works well on mobile.

Like this: https://i.imgur.com/oe0BdP4.jpg Brother, I hope you don't mind, I want to see if I can embed your image directly into a post like this from an Imgur link: Apparently, yes! That's great, other image hosting sites I worked with don't allow this. Will try the app myself, too.

Quixus Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Edit: how do I get it to show the image instead of the link?Go to your gallery and click on the image you want to add. There is a link called BBCode. Copy it and paste it in your post It should look something like [img=https://i.imgur.com/NELjVdz.png] and would yield Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354595-fastest-way-for-photos-from-my-phone-to-this-forum/#findComment-5281807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
