It's Not Hard to Embed Images

Threads with imgur or photo bucket links drive me nuts.

Rant over.

@Winny_Pooh ; your link missed off the ".jpg" on the end and was the album link not the image link

Click the image embed icon
Paste in https://i.imgur.com/8uCIlYk.jpg

On the iphone, with imgur, if you choose a pic and choose share, and copy link, it gives you a link like this, which is NOT embeddable and when you click on it it takes you to imgur.

BUT, if you click on your pic AGAIN, so that the pic goes to the centre of your screen, then click on the share icon, and choose copy link, it creates a link like this, https://i.imgur.c0m/H76sxNQ.jpg, which is an embeddable pic link, so you get the picture in the post, like this:

Am I missing something? All I ever do is chose the image from wherever, 'copy image' and paste straight into the post.

Eh? You don’t even use the bit of A4 with the folded corner icon ?

My problems are that I rarely do it so have to look it up every time, and that every once in a while the hosting site I'm using goes bust. 

I now have to upload pics from my phone to Imgur, then go to my Imgur account from my laptop to here. 

I'm well aware of the costs involved, but it does kill the spontaneity compared to using Facebook or Instagram tbh, so I rarely bother posting pics any more unless I'm selling something.
