Uploading Pictures

[buckeye1]

I may not be new here but it seems when I want to upload a picture to a thread during the upload attachments the upload, it will come back as upload failed. It happens both on my PC and phone. This has never happened before just now when I want to upload something. What am I doing wrong here?

Is it failing because it exceeds the max file size and/or dimensions?

It's usually easier to just upload an image to an image hosting site like https://imgur.com/ and then use the image tags in the post.

Where do I upload my image to on imur.com's site (I do not see anywhere to upload at )?

Do I have to sign up or what?

Click "new post". The green button on the top of the screen.

Thank You so much Cremildo, I would have never figured that out for myself!

Another question Cremildo,

does your uploaded image stay on their site & what about privacy issues for yourself... i.e. do they/anybody know where your image is coming from, say your PC?

Thanks!

The uploaded image stays there. I don't think the site shows where your uploaded image came from (whether uploaded from the PC or some other site). https://imgur.com/privacy

Post / Image Privacy

Uploading a New Post creates a “post” (also called “album”) that can be shared to the community. The individual images inside the post are referred to as “images.”
Although nothing you post to Imgur is completely hidden from public view or entirely private, with that understanding you can set the privacy level of posts.

Hidden: Posts will be hidden by default. They are not searchable within Imgur, and will not appear in Imgur’s public gallery or public profile, but each one will still be accessible by going to the post’s URL. They cannot receive comments or earn points.
Public: Posts will be publicly viewable and shared with the community. Public posts shared with the community will allow comments, sharing, and voting, and appear in a user’s profile.

“Favorite Folders” Privacy
You can add favorited posts to folders that you create. Individual public posts that you favorite are always visible from the “All Favorites” page in your user profile and cannot be hidden, even those within folders. Favorited hidden posts will not appear publicly in your favorites. These settings for favorites cannot be changed, but the visibility of folders can be toggled to public or private.

Public: Folders are visible to the public community on your public profile.
Private: Private folders are kept hidden from your public profile.

If you have an account you can click on your username in the top right, and select Images from the drop down menu. On the page that loads there is an Add Images button.

Imgur also strips all EXIF data and metadata from images uploaded to the site.
