 I've found that the only way I get imgur to work is if I go into my imgur galery, click on the image I want, and copy the BB source code for it from Imgur. Then paste that into my post. |

It’s simple guys, always use the direct link. If it’s got the .jpg extension at the end of it, the site will convert it.

Copy the “direct link”:  Paste link to message board:  Postimage.com works for me every time. I tried several others including imgur and found them all a bit wonky. |

Gentleman, the user is having a different issue and if you click the link you will see a screenshot of the issue. I'll make it easier by posting it myself.  There are a number of ways to solve this issue. Instead of trying to list one and have it not work and go on to the next I'd advise for you to Google "Confirm Form Resubmission". Maybe add in eithertablet or mobile. Not trying to be a jerk by saying go to Google it's just that as I stated, there's a number of ways to resolve this issue so this would be easier on all of us by using that resource instead of trying to type up all the different ways to correct this. As for inserting images, there have been so many posts on this subject with clear screenshots that if one cannot understand it.... well I really dont know what to say. |

So it looks like the forum software is struggling with rendering direct links from Imgur unless you use the "insert photo" button on a full reply page. If you copy the BB code, it works fine.
This seems to be more of an Imgur issue as it's not happening with other photo hosting services. It's also new to me, as it's never been an issue.
I'll see what else I can dig up.

Cutting and pasting links from one site to another is a pain in the arse. I wish we could just update this site to post photos directly from our photo library like the other pipe boards.  |

So after doing a Google search I found it is an old problem with Google that is no fix for it. Since this is the only site it does it on I will have to think of a way to work with or around it. Well I know of one. |

There is significant cost associated with expanding the forum storage to accommodate users uploading directly. While I have no problem covering the day to day costs of this site, I can't really justify putting more money out for that when there are many free photo hosting sites out there.
"Cutting and pasting links from one site to another is a pain in the arse" sounds like a serious first world problem to me.

Dave, this has been explained ad nauseum. Pictures take up space and storage costs money and slows down the forum. |

Question: Is someone going to address the original problem? This only happens on this site using a tablet. This has been occurring for a couple of weeks. Let me know the results by email.

OK, I went the Imgur app on my IPad and opened this picture from my stored pics. I tapped on the picture to expand it. Then I tapped the action list icon at the bottom of the picture. I selected “Copy Link”. then I opened the Reply button on this Patch thread. I clicked on the insert picture icon and pasted the link in the action box that opens. The link I pasted is: i.imgur.com/UAOaFat.jpgNote the //i.imgur and the .jpg suffix. Those are the differences I see from your link. I hope this helps.  |
