Tone Matters. Use It Well.
Hi, Folks.
This post is designed to instruct you how to post images using Imgur & your home computer. There are additional threads that cite how to post using the Imgur app on your phone; my goal is to teach you how to use Imgur with what many commonly use...your computer.
Use either Google or another internet search engine to locate Imgur.com.
Create an account with Imgur. Sign into Imgur.
Using your home computer, export the photos you wish to upload to Imgur from your "photo application" to your desktop.
Open Imgur in a new browser window, navigate to your screen name, and select 'Images' beneath the drop down menu. There are options for resizing your image, or creating a folder that you can save you r images to, or adding images.
Click on 'Add Images.' You can select your image size beneath 'Add Images.' Typically, 600x800 or 15-inch monitor works well. Select "image size" before selecting "add images."
Drag the images you wish to upload one at a time to the Add Images window.
The images will automatically upload. Repeat as necessary. To finish, be sure to refresh your computer screen by clicking the forward-circle to the right of your URL line at the top of your open browser window..
Next, click on the thumbnail of an image, directly in the thumbnail window. Selecting either edit or delete will either open a new window to edit, or check the thumbnail to be deleted. After clicking on the thumbnail directly, a new window will open. Select "BB Code", almost towards the bottom of the open window, clicking on Copy.
Then, open a new window to this forum. If you've already created a new post, use Ctrl-V or Command-V to paste the BB Code link into the post screen. You do not need to select the "Image" icon within the "create post" screen. Toggle between this forum site and Imgur and repeat this step as necessary to add additional images.
Thanks for reading.
