How To Add Photos Using Imgur, On Desktop.

 

This is on a Mac via Safari, but this process should work across platforms and browsers, please PM me if it doesn't. For those who prefer a walkthrough, please see below.

 

Steps

1. Go to imgur.com and look for Sign In or Sign Up

 

2. Click Sign Up and create an account (it doesn't ask for much info)

 

3. Click Sign In if you already have an account

4. Move your pointer over username in the top right, click images in the drop down menu

 

5. You can now drag and drop your images into the browser window from your desktop (see the video above)

6. If you prefer, you can click the Add Images button

 

7. Browse to your photos in the window

 

8. After you're done uploading

9. Click on the image you want to add to the forum

10. You will get a new window, with various links down the right

11. Look for BBCode and click the corresponding Copy button.

 

12. Switch to your forum post where you'd like to add the image

13. Paste into your post the text you copied from Imgur.

14. When you click 'Post New Topic' or 'Add Reply' or 'Preview Post', your image should appear.

 

 

Alternatively, this process may change slightly if you are browsing images within an album on imgur.

Look in the top right corner of the image for the down chevron

 

Move the pointer over the chevron

Select Get Share Links in the dropdown

In the new widow, look for BBCode and click the corresponding Copy button.

 

Then paste this into your post on the forum.
