Uploading photos to the forum

[potatolord]

I can't get imgur to work, despite numerous attempts I can't create an account.

Is there any other way?

Freeimage works for me

Imgur --> New post --> Drag + Drop or select manually --> Once uploaded click the 3 dots/ellipsis --> Get share links --> Copy BBCode --> Paste in your forum post.

imgur upload always works well, and you don't need an account

Imgbb.com is much better than imgur imo.

You don't need an account to post images from IMGUR.

Upload photo (Drag and drop) > wait 10 seconds > (or so) > Right click image > copy link > paste into OcUK.

Every time I put my phone number in it says it is not valid.

I just use imgur app on my phone. I don't have an account

Photo library - share - imgur - copy link - paste in forum image box

You don't need an account to use Imgur. I use this extension too - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imgur-uploader/lcpkicdemehhmkjolekhlglljnkggfcf

+1 for this. It's a game changer and will save half the faff that @Yaayuh! mentioned above.

That's pretty cool. I'll use it for a bit.

Interesting!
I will have to see if there’s similar for Firefox.

Don't know if it's still working or supported as I mainly use Chrome, but this is the one I have installed on Firefox. https://github.com/st900278/Imgur-Uploader-Firefox

How do you post the link? I'm copying the link from imgbb, but it just shows as a link, rather than displaying the image.
