How to use IMGUR to host pictures

Post by Kev »

Imgur is a free picture hosting site. You don't need to sign up for an account unless you want to keep track of every image. They stay accessible forever. If there are no views of a picture for 6 months however, it will be deleted.

Go to the site and then simply drag your picture to anywhere on the page.

Then click the ... icon at the top right of the picture and choose Get Share Links

Choose Copy Link next to BBCode (Forums)

Then go to the post you're writing and paste....
which will put something like this in to the post which is automatically translated in to the pasted image when you submit it

Code: Select all
