Is anyone else running into the issue of not being able to see image reels posts using Imgur? I’m on an iPhone if that changes anything
 
Hi HOkieengineer,
Here is how I post pictures on Imgur. I take a group of pictures with my digital camera, I remove the media card and place the card in a card reader, I can use the camera also but a card reader is better as I do not have to handle the camera, hooked to my computer, and an icon appears on my computer desktop. I leave the pics and open Imgur, I open all the pics I saved and have them on top of screen and Imgur on the bottom half. I drag the picture that I want down to Imgur and it appears. If I want to put it on Bladeforums I click my name on Imgur and it says images and click on the image, the picture in Imgur and it appears with I believe is 6 copy modes and an edit feature and I chose BB Codes and right click copy image. I then go to BladeForums and click apply after I post what I'd like to say and the Picture shows after I right click and hit post reply. I don't know about a phone? I know it sounds confusing but after a few times it is just step by step. I hope this helps a bit. I don't know what an image reel is? A friend uses a phone all the time and he taught me. I did hit a few snags in the beginning. Oh yes if your image is too large you must crop it to get it down to the right amount of pixels. My camera is old and only 5mp so I can post my pics without cropping. mine come in at 2560 x 1960 approx. That is a pic that shows pretty large in a post on Bladeforums. I usually crop because phone pics are huge and I center on the main feature of my pics, knives. So there is an issue right there with high megapixel phone cameras.

Yikes...might want to edit this into some sort of bulleted list so it's easier to follow.
 
O.K. Here goes
1) On Imgur press copy on the BB Code for the Image you want.
2) Go to forum and paste Code into body of your post.
3) Go back to Imgur and press Copy on the BB Code for the second Image you want.
4) Go to forum and press spacebar on your keyboard to make a little room between images.
5) Right click second Image into body of your post, repeat again if you want more images.
6) PRESS POST REPLY!

You must crop large images to fit the space given in Bladeforums to see complete image.
If you are a paying member other than Basic you can post right from Bladeforums, am I correct Mr. jlauffer?
