imgur has changed

[martin goddard]

I do not use imgur a lot, but found it very useful when they would  generate a A BB code.
I could put that within a post and the picture would come up (marvellous).  This no longer seems possible what has changed??

It worked for me this afternoon when I loaded and posted the Vietnam armour pictures.

Probably something wrong in the syntax. You do have to post the pictures on Imgur before you can get the correct code.


Simon will sort you out Martin.

Simon, Martin has incorrect syntax.

I have had the same happen when you copy the image address before you have posted the image.

It is missing an 'i.'  before imgur the the text string.

If this refers to thd photo of Martin's recrafted ACW ship, the codes before and after the image address are missing.

Martin needs (replacing the following brackets with square brackets):
(img)
at the start of the line and:
(/img)
at the end of it.

Any help?

My head hurts, I can work Facebook,  on a good day.

Ironically, I've found that I've just cracked Imgur.

Upload to my account then just copy and paste the BB code thing for forums. It's worked so far for me and has encouraged me to post more pictures.

Well done Sean!

It's easy once you've cracked it, but the cracking part can be painful...

To be honest, I had given up on posting pictures. I thought it was beyond me.

Better???

[Sean Clark]

That looks like one contented cat!

If you are searching for an alternative I use Discord for posting linked pictures to forums.  Probably the simplest platform I have used.  I use Discord as a blog, and as a Paint and Chat video link to my friends in the Uk and the US.

Thanks all.
I think I did not keep up to date with IMGUR changes.
Will have another go.
