    used to be that when I uploaded a photo on IMGUR's website I could just copy the link under "BBcode forums," but that stopped working for me for some reason. I downloaded the Imgur app and clicked on "copy the link" after uploading a photo which has been working fine for me the last few weeks. But today when I copied the link and went to share it on the site all it included was the text language "IMG" in the thread. Any idea what is going on? Is there another site out there I should try besides Imgur?

    Thanks in advance

    I use Photobucket and have never had any issues. Some people say that Imgur is easier, but you may be disproving that.

    When using Photobucket, after uploading a pic to the site and getting it on screen from your 'library' there will be 4 links on the right side of the screen. Click the second one down called 'Direct' and it will automatically be copied to your clipboard, then insert it here in a thread by using the Image icon dialog box.

    Thanks! That sounds like a very similar process to how Imgur used to work for me. I will check it out. Thanks again

    I've been using IMGUR for the last two years and did have some trouble a couple of weeks ago when they changed, but now it's both faster and easier. I just copy the direct link (formatted as http:slight_smile: and paste as usual.
