Title: Imgur - why is picture not showing?
Post by: T-Man on August 10, 2021, 10:30:02 PM
I'm trying to post a picture that is hosted on Imgur in a classified ad, but it's not showing up. My text looks like this:

What is wrong with it?

I noticed that, too. Hope it gets straightened out.

Hi Tom,

It may be as simple as the link you are using. Click on the picture you want and you should see the link sidebar...

Click on the BBcode so it's highlighted and then copy and paste into your post...

Make sure you have the image code separated from the text... e.g. put it on a separate line. hth-

Gary, I don't see anything called BB code.  All I see is a "share" button that brings up lots of choices, one if which is "copy url" - that's the one I've been choosing.
I am doing this on an Android phone, if that matters.

I am sorry, I know nothing about Android phones.

Gary, due to your help I got it working!
I wasn't putting the image code on a separate line like you mentioned.  That fixed it. Thanks!

Congrats! Can't tell you how many times I've had similar issues.. different forums (SMF, Proboards, Notwork 54), different image hosts (Photosuckit, Imgur).
And I'd rather spend my time with airguns, lol

T-Man..
Firefox won't let me see your current picture in your classified ad... something ain't right.
