Hey tech board,

I’ve posted photos on this site for years using Imgur.

In past month I’ve tried “copy link” and “copy post link” to the image add button (like I have for years). When I preview as always before I finalize my post, now nothing is there. Has something changed?

Any other easy reliable options to upload and post photos here? Thanks . I’m sure this is a repeat post from others, sorry.

On mobile, I simply can no longer find the jpeg link. On desktop, it's still super easy under the copy link 3 dots.

Imgur did some frickery to make it nearly impossible to find the direct link to use on forums. You can use this site to grab the direct link like you used to, but I've just moved on to another hosting site.

Sounds good to me … have a preference site? User friendly if possible … thanks

I gave up on imgur years ago and have been using this site

As a backup I use this but it's not quite as user friendly

Through trial and error I found that move the cursor to the upper right corner of the photo and click on the three dots, then click "Get Share Links" - they tried their best to hide this from you.

Move on from that cesspool of a site.

I wish people would use imghippo.com. It's not blocked by my company. I can't see any images hosted from the usual sites from my work PC

I use Imgur all the time from my phone. It's actually pretty easy, but I had to figure it out.

1. Open Imgur app
2. Press arrow up to choose image
3. Choose image
4. Post image
5. Go back to the arrow up. Choose image.
6. Click on Next
7. While it is posting, click on View Post before the bar that scrolls left to right gets all the way to the right.
8. Either add a title to the image or not, then Click on POST at the top right corner.
9. Your image will show up. Long press on your screen and a list of options pop up.
10. Choose the Chrome icon. Image will open in a new page, but is not the address you want.
11. Long press and choose: Open Image in New Tab and it opens up as just the image.

12. Copy the image address from the address bar.

Go back to TD and post your image as usual.

I know. That's wonky, but it works if you really want to use Imgur.

*If I find time I may post images for each step , but, that's the steps to get a .jpeg image from Imgur in the Android app.

Yeah, but once you've done it, future uploads take less than 15 seconds to post an image to imgur, and copy the link to a .jpeg to use.
