Posting images using Imgur

To add an image to your post using the Imgur site do the following.

Log into your account at Imgur ( I will assume you have one or can do that, its free and easy )

Use the pulldown beside your account name to access images.

When you select it it will open up with links to the right. Select the link shown, for forums, by clicking on the copy key. This will put the link in the clipboard.

You then go to the forum, and when creating a post paste ( CTRL P ) the link.

Its done.

Note the right side menu is not available in mobile versions of imgur. If you are only using mobile the address of your image will be in the address bar when you have clicked on it. Same screen that would have the menu. Copy that address, and in your post put the following BB code:

Place your link address between the two sets of bracketed code, yes it has to be square brackets.
