yeto Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 What service do you all use to host an image? I used to use "imgur" but it seems to have changed. Thank you, yeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I use imgur. The last time was a couple of days ago. It worked the same as it always has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share the Imgur link? Maybe I am going to the wrong Imgur page. Thank you, yeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I created an account at https://imgur.com/ where my imaged get uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Phillips Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Dumb question: How do you use imgur? When I need them, I create links to images, usually screenshots, on OneDrive. I signed up for imgur and looked around a bit. Looks like it's mainly a sight for publicly sharing memes, kinda like instagram. I didn't see anything about storing images that couldn't be viewed and shared by the public. Thanks. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill I use it to embed images in posts on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 One advantage to using an image hosting service instead of uploading images to the forum is links to images do not count against the forum's 50MB per user image quota, Here is how to use http://imgur.com To access your image page Log into your imgur account Click on images in the menu at the upper right of the page To upload an image drag and drop it onto your images page. By default, images uploaded into your account are private and accessible only by publishing links to them. To add an image to a post here Click on the image Click on the copy button next to the BBCode text Paste into your post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
