how to post photos on the site

Can we use Imgur to post photos?

Yes. You can. I believe a few folks, on here, use it, and I have also done so without issues although I tend to use ImageShack, primarily.

Can we use Imgur to post photos?

Yes, you can.  Go down to "Quick Reply" and click on the blue button that says "Open full editor."  Once done, there is a toolbar across the top of the reply box.  Click on the black box with the white "i" (imgur) in it and that will open your photos.  Choose the photo you want, click on it, and it will be posted.  I hope this helps.  If not then let us know.

Super helpful. Sorry for the late reply, but thank you!

Wonderful

Test!

You can't, unless you reupload a new photo that is resized prior to uploading it.

Umm, you sort of can now.

This is the original image:


This is the same image file scaled down:




Once you've uploaded the image, click on the "View source" button on the post toolbar.

This is the same image file scaled down:

[img=200x133]https://i.imgur.com/UbXgyOp.jpg[/img]

The first part of this post looked like this "code" version.

Type in the "=200x133" bit (or any two numbers you want, these just happen to be half of the original image dimensions) into the "img" tag and it will display it smaller or bigger.
Of course it does not reduce the file size, it only changes how it's displayed.

The other method where you post the URL has a built-in scaling option.
