With this week's contest requiring players to post screenshots in the forum, I thought I'd offer a step-by-step guide to neatly posting a pic from Imgur.

 

• Copy the direct link (email & IM) from Imgur
• Click on the spoiler button here. It's the paper-looking icon to the right of the "
• Then click the Image icon (top row left of YouTube)
• Paste the link from Imgur into the URL box in the Image pop-up
• Click ok and that's it

 

Repeat the above for multiple pics or you can squeeze multiple picture into a single spoiler by creating the spoiler, then hitting enter a few times to make the box bigger. This allows room for more than one pic.

Hope this makes sense and helps.

Thanks Zapper! I meant to look for the old guide for this but with so many things going on I got side tracked. Pinned for the rest of the community.

Also this already existed.

Also, from imgur, you can click the copy button on the left side of the HTML (website/blogs) and then just paste them onto your forum reply. Just an FYI.

What is Imgur and where is the link and IM?  This makes no sense to me.  I assume you assume I know what you are talking about?

Once you upload the photo, the "Direct Link and IM" option will appear on the right as a link you can copy and paste.

Why are you people posting screens in a How-to thread? No prizes here.

Here is a neat little thing that I do for In Game screenshots that take up a lot of space on a post and not having to use spoiler via Imgur.com.

Let's use this link which is a in game screenshot:  http://i.imgur.com/lSSIb4l.jpg

 

By putting a "s"  here:  http://i.imgur.com/lSSIb4ls.jpg  in the link this will resize the picture to a small square.  Then you can take that link with the "s" in it and put it here in the Image Properties > Image Info tab:

 

 

Then in the Image Properties > Link Tab, put the regular link http://i.imgur.com/UVOoATP.png (without the "s") here and change to the Target from Same Window to New Window.

 

 

After all that you will get something like this:

 

 

So when you click on the small square (thumbnail) image, it will open in a New Window the full size version of the image.  This will help keep the post small without the need to use spoliers.

[silverplatter]

Thanks for these cool tips! I use the UPL upload and sharing platform. It's free, fast and easy to use. Yep, the 

old guide has been really helpful too.  

[FIight]

basically fill in the URL that links to your image
