Hello, been on here for 10 years but did not post much the last couple of years
What is the best way to link Imgur file? I copy and past link but it comes out with the Imgur stamp beside it. Is there anyway to avoid?
I do have a gold membership but don't want to resize posts, etc if posting directly, would prefer to stay with Imgur
Thanks!

Have been posting from phone - Copy link is what I have been using.
Total options when I click a picture are:
Copy Link (this mus be doing the "Direct Link" optin above.
Open in Safari
Open In Chrome
Downwload Image
Add to Folder
Add to reading list

I have only ever done from phone. Maybe I need to start posting from desktop???
maybe if I insert ahead of my direct link it will work??

Thanks for your help

Ahh ok, didn't realize the options were different on a phone. I normally use my Kindle. I just tried logging in to Imgur on my phone and keep getting a weird error message in plain text: "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again"

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
 
you could just get the image uploaded to IMGUR, then screenshot the image and paste it into the forum post. It will be lower res. due to a screenshot but will embed due to such, then provide link to IMGUR post for users who would like higher res.

If the direct link looks the same as the photo jlauffer jlauffer posted (ends with .jpg/.png/etc.), you just have to add the tags yourself and you'd be good.

If the direct link is:
Code: 
https://imgur.io/link/to/photo.jpg

your post should be:

Code: 
[img]https://imgur.io/link/to/photo.jpg[/img]

Thanks - that probably is the easiest solution or just switch to desktop (which I have no idea how to login to as I have only ever used the App)
