You have to host the image on a site such as imgur or Flickr. You upload the image to the site and then there will be link URL options sometimes called a BBC code. Find the direct link URL that contains a jpg extension somewhere in the URL....copy the URL and then click the tigerdroppings img button you see to the right of the text box. Paste the image in there, close the box and hit preview to see if it worked. I use this site to host images. LINK

In addition to what Zappas stache wrote, if want to start a thread with a picture that is already online, just long click the picture in iOS which should give you three options:
share,
add to photos,
or copy.

Select copy

Then paste into the image markup option.

e.g. using your image

https://i.imgur.com/ngw89dq.jpg

simple:

bookmark

LINK

If you're on mobile, select 'view as desktop site' and then you can quickly & easily upload from your phone or PC (look for files on computer option)

Then wait 5-10 secs until its FULLY rendered there is a "..." that shows up. Select the second option "messageboard options" i think, then the 3rd option copies the full image link (including the IMG and /IMG tags) then just paste into your post.

super easy. trick is that the link above won't work on mobile unless you select 'view as desktop site' first.

bullshite.

Post a screen grab from your phone showing it working without hitting "view as desktop" first.

All you have to do is click the link above on your phone.

You're talking out of your arse again.

Give it a rest, guys. This is the Tech Board, name-calling is only allowed in Apple threads.

CAD posts a one click way to imgur upload for the OP, states you need to use desktop mode for it to work.

Alxtiger says derrrrr, not true.

CAD says 'try it, click the link. i even posted it'

Alx posts a completely different page at imgur as 'proof' CAD is lying

CAD says 'thats not the page i linked'

Alx: IT DOESNT frickING MATTER YOU TARD!!!

It doesn't matter because I got where I posted from that link. You really can't be this dumb.

I didn't use all caps. You truly are a terrible person.

You don't
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I just visited CAD's link and I absolutely had to switch to desktop mode on my phone for it to work. Otherwise I get "oops! we couldn't find that page".

The link doesn't even work on my phone. What I am saying is, using a phone, you do not have to switch to desktop to get a good jpg link for posting photos here. The first share button doesn't give you a good link. Once you tap on the photo, it does.

once again, my way is the quickest way for the OP to get a pic off his phone to TD.

you want to add about 8 more steps to the process so you can be 'right' and simply not click the 'desktop mode' option, by all means be RIGHT.

eta also i was helping the OP, not you.
