I am glad I only have one PRS (S2). Otherwise, I will be forced to learn how to post pics with Ingur. Lol

Wait. Is this thread for any and all pics including non-guitar pics?
Here is Shelly. The newest baby of the family, loving her kitty couch.
There’s a “Man’s Best Friend” thread.
No one has said that all furry (or non-furry) creatures can’t be included there.
Wait for a saucy reply from either Alan or Howie

~~~~~~~> THIS IS FOR DROPBOX PHOTOS <~~~~~~~Sure, ok....
First thing I do is make sure I have two tabs open...one for the forum, the other for my picture-hosting site (in this case Dropbox.com).
In my image-hosting site tab, I find the image I want to post and left-click it to be sure the the image loads in it's full resolution.
Then I right-click the image, and select "Copy Image Address".
I come back to the PRS Forum tab and click the "Insert Image" icon (looks like a little mountain range inside of a picture frame).
The icon box will pop up requesting an "http" address. I right click the address field and select "Paste". The address I just copied from the pic-hosting site should now be in the address field. Then I click "Insert".
Repeat the process for all the images you want to share in the post.
That should do the trick...
Thanks goes to @ElrytNamrogo

I saw that Postimages has a forum plugin. I don’t see XenForo listed specifically, but I wonder if they are working on it or would be willing to if there’s interest? The plugin is supposed to show up right in the post editor and stores the images on their servers. So it basically just funnels the process of going to their site, uploading images, copying links, and pasting them into a post, and puts it into the posting editor directly. At least that’s what the brochure says. Would be cool if something like this could work here.
@james Maybe you’ve looked into this already. Just posting in case it’s helpful.

Answers my questions. I don’t even know what Imgur is.

If you need any assistance, feel free to send me a Private Message (aka private conversation - you create one using the envelope looking icon in the upper right of most screen layouts on this forum - between your username and a bell).
Imgur is a site that allows you to upload pictures and then you can point to them from places like this. Here (the PRS Forum) they will only allow you to upload the text you type. They don't want to host the photos for copyright liability issues. If they simply point to them, many legal hurdles are cleared for PRS! Some hate it, some think it is perfect and as the world should be, some people don't care much and just work with what is being given to them for free whether they like it or not ;~))

As an Android smartphone user (vs Desktop computer user), Step 3 did not work as straight as advertised there. Here's what I found I needed to do in addition. I imagine this where most others are having problems as well.To post a photo to the PRS Forums, please use an image hosting service. A popular option is Imgur.com. Below are the steps to host a photos on Imgur.com - other photo hosting sites should have a similar process.
1. Go to imgur.com and click “New Post” (or go directly to imgur.com/upload)
2. Drag and drop your image to “Drop Images Here” or “choose photo” and select the file from your computer.
3. Next to Copy Link, click the menu button and click “Get Share Links”
4. Copy the text from the BBCode (Forums) option
5. Paste into a post and you should be good!
1. You won't find (at least, I could not), the option to copy BB code for the image in the Imgur app itself. You will instead need to navigate to the Imgur website in a browser and sign in there.
2. In your browser settings, find and turn on "Desktop Site" mode. Wait for Imgur website to reload.
3. Navigate to one of the pics you've already uploaded to Imgur that you want to share in a forum post. Click on the image. Wait for the new web page to load that has details about that photo.
4. In that new details page, click in the top right corner of the image itself. Even though there is nothing there specifically that you're clicking on, I know. This was the least intuitive part of the process. Just click in the top right corner of the photo.
5. Having done that, you get a popup in the top right corner w 2 clickable choices, "Copy link" and an icon w three period characters displayed ("..."). Click the icon w three periods.
6. Now you get a new popup with a list of different codes that you can choose to copy. Scan down the list and find the one captioned "BB code". On the right side of that line, click "Copy link". Once you do, you'll get a quick shortlived msg that flashes by telling you that the link is now copied to your clipboard.
7. In your web browser, navigate to the PRS Forum and then create a new post/reply.
8. In that new reply, right-click to get your paste option and choose paste. You will see the BB Code pasted into your reply. That's it. When you save your post, that copied image will now display just fine.

Try https://postimages.org/.
It's really not that complicated. Once your pics are loaded, click on a tab that auto-copies the pic, come back here and paste the pic into the reply box.
Simple.

What is everyone's favorite image hosting site? I am going to break down and create an account at one of them so I can share this new PS with y'all.
