I still can't post screenshots

Post by blownaway » Sun Dec 27, 2015 6:11 am

Either stupid or having a senior moment/day/week/year (pick one). Sorry to be a PITA but none of these links on to how to use imgur have worked (for me).
This link doesn't work :
How to post images of your reports explained here.
https://sleep.tnet.com/reference/tips/imgur


Pugsy repeatedly posts that link but I can't make it work.

Is https an error? never seen an "s" in that url before.

Just go to http://www.imgur.com. Upper right corner. Create an account. Once you have done that, sign in. Then in the middle of the task bar at the top, you will see an upload images button. Hit that and it will ask you where you want to upload them from. Select Browse Your Computer. Then go to wherever you are storing your screenshots. You may have a screenshot folder. I do on my Mac. Click on the file you want to upload. Once you have selected the file, hit Start Upload. Once the upload is complete, scroll down the page a little bit and you will see a box labeled BBCode (Forums). Highlight and copy the link in that box. Then paste on here in a post. Take your time and don't get frustrated. The first thing you probably need to do is locate where your computer is sending your screenshots. Are you using a Mac or PC?

Thanks much for your effort. I have pasted it into Notepad and printed it, pinned to wall.

Keep playing around with it. It took me more than a couple of tries to get it right.

I finally got the screenshots url resolved. the old address was as long as my arm and totally ridiculous. Bill Gates has such a wonderful way of doing things. Took me an hour to figure out how, but now got changed to C:/Screenshots so I think I can find that one.
