The way I think I understood it now with **Cervaise** ’s help: Now (6) you click on the thumbnail. The page goes to a bigger picture. There you right-click (7) and “open Link in a new Tab”. Go to that tab and select the URL (8). Copy and paste that URL in the SDMB, but with a blank line (carriage returns, as **Cervaise** put it in post #1716) before and after. Between (6) and (7) it offers me the option the upload the image in full resolution. I forgot whether I did that or not, but it probably is a good idea. ---

Open the URL so you’re looking at a page with your image on it. Right-click or long-press that image. ---

It might be a good idea to write a single post with a guide to using imgbb here, and then link to it in the new photo posting thread with a caution against using imgur for anyone who sees that thread but not this one. ---

I was able to post a picture from Shutterfly in the Test Thread: > [@Test thread — to test things out.

Since Imgur is banned in UK. I am waiting to see if the link expires or anything. ---

Do you have to create an account with imgBB or can you just upload an individual photo for one-time use? ---

Never mind. It turns out that I had an old account at Shutterfly and that will work for me as long as it can be seen outside the U.S. [![](https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-SywgaamM-4PzOnUMghPb1jQPEFRcRwy8b6XRWrpaxUaSbrR92suhSS53FFOM6qAEKwg5ydwHipy3aIZBf9dNYQ?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1400280093) ](https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-SywgaamM-4PzOnUMghPb1jQPEFRcRwy8b6XRWrpaxUaSbrR92suhSS53FFOM6qAEKwg5ydwHipy3aIZBf9dNYQ?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1400280093) (photo of my rescue cat Summer that I took at work in 2014 right before I brought her home - a baby picture ❤) ---

Thanks! I re-uploaded mine, but now it’s taking a very long time to load. It took several minutes for my whole picture to show. Cervaise’s picture also took a long time. Is anyone else having this problem? ---

Still having trouble with imgbb, so I searched for picture hosting sites and landed with postimages. I hope it shows OK. The others load fine in my computer. ---

@chela Your photo is excellent, but all we have in the thread is a link. I’d be happy to host it at Bluesky and post it here for you. Or I could try giving you the link in a message and we can see if you can use it. ---
