Title: having problems with imgur
Post by: Europapete on July 09, 2018, 11:43:11 PM

Hi all, still trying to post images.  Last time (a learning test) Imgur worked perfectly, but the last couple of tries I can't get the link to work in the attatchment box. I click on the BBC link copy box, but then when i try to paste the link into this sites attatchment box I have no "paste" icon to use. So, any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Regards, Pete in RI

Pete,
    After you copy (ensure you use the second option from the bottom that indicates "for Forums" try using the alternate paste technique, ie: put your cursor where you want the photo in your post, then hold down your Control Key ("Ctrl" on your keyboard) and tap the "V" key. Release the keys and your Photo's link description should be in place. I am, I assure you, a mere toddler when it comes to computer skills so this explanation might be a bit hard to follow I know! Hope it's of some help.
Cheers,
Lance

   "I feel a total moron not being able to do this" 
   Then there's two of us. I had the identical experience, still don't know why it worked at first but not later, however this little method solved the problem!
