Sure, I've enabled that.
Thanks so much Spark, appreciate that you're implementing our suggestions so quickly!
Sure, I've enabled that.
Thanx for all the efforts. I'll try again. I am using an iPad (so no right-clicking), and no, I did not register with Imgur. I was about to when I saw the "post" button and went from there. Perhaps I should register with them, maybe even get the app! Easy-peasy is kind of an unconscious rule of thumb for me, and when it ain't, I tend do regress to Kindergarten behavior. Now that I've smoked most of a cigar, I'm feeling more grown up. Thanx, again.Ok, here's the easiest way to post an Imgur link without needing an account:
You can right-click the image to get an 'i.imgur' link by clicking 'copy image', then using the 'image' icon and pasting that link in the box supplied you get the image in the thread easy-peasy.

Another way is to click on the menu to the right of the copy button and click on 'get share links'

This takes you to a screen with 4 options, the one you want is the 'BBCode (Forums)' one, just click the 'copy' button to get that link's code.

Then simply past in the reply box what you copied.

It looks like this when pasted. All you have to do is click reply and the image shows up in the thread.

I am completely lost and have no idea how to find any help. I have searched and searched. FAQs don't work. Old info I found on how to post images says to go to Imgur, upload, get URL, and paste....that no longer works. It's my own fault for being so inactive for so long and not keeping up with the vast number of changes BEFORE the recent up grade. Appears now I should just throw away all my knives and stop collecting.
I'm gonna try it all again, again, now that I've finally been able to re-boot this POS. I did what KingMC suggested about how to find the bcc URL on Imgur, and I found it and copied it, but it didn't really copy it. When I tried to paste it, I got what had been on the clipboard before. So I figured something was screwy with the iPad. Closed all the apps and tried to shut it down. It would not turn off....just what I need. I was on a cellular connection outside smoking at the time. Searched the problem, and there was ample evidence that iPads do this crazy thing a lot. But rather than throwing it across the patio, I came in, plugged it into AC power, went back to wifi and it re-booted. Maybe my problem was this device. We shall see!For my part, what I always did to add pics from imgur still works. Select the pic you want at imgur, go to the link for BB code and copy it, paste that directly into the text box and you should be good to go.
[I just scrolled up and saw that KingMC has post a more complete instruction covering multiple scenarios, but I'll let mine stand regardless.]
BTW, I usually take pics with my iPad and upload to imgur from the photo app there. Afterwards I go to the desktop site on my mac to edit and do the copying and pasting to BF from there.
And now can you see my test failed above, and while it would have been right to delete that post, at least on my iPad there is no delete button.

Okay, Day 2 of my Image Uploading Saga. Let me say first, I'm very grateful for all the help on this, and for all the help I've ever received on BF...that's why after a long hiatus I renewed my Gold membership since I'd not posted in close to two years. I've now updated the iPad to the latest iOS and have joined Imgur and am using the Imgur app for this attempt.%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/GwQAVbT.jpg%5B/IMG%5D
I tried pasting what he pasted earlier using the regular text editor and t didn't translate the HTML hex codes again.
