  ScottHope:

  Getting a picture from a mobile to here directly without using another device seems somewhat convoluted, so I must be doing it wrong.

  Any help out there on this?

  Scott, I have an Android phone. There are 2 ways I found to do it:

  1.  Go to the Imgur app, hit the Upload button (middle bottom), select the picture you want to upload, then hit Next, then hit Post.

  2.  Go to the Gallery app, select the picture you want to upload, then hit the Share icon at the bottom.  Then, on the Sharing screen, select Imgur.  Then, on the Imgur screen that comes up, hit the Post button. 

  Once you get your image onto Imgur, I presume you know how to get that image into a forum post.

  Hope this helps.

  This screenshot is created by my Google acount. 

  What screenshot?? Why do you always sound like you're missing a screw or something?! What gives?

  There are no missing screws here. In your case, however, the swing seems to have been hanging too close to the wall. 🤣🤣

  Hold up… did you write that yourself?? That actually kinda sounded like English for the first time. 😂 That was cute. Keep it coming!

  Scott, I have an Android phone...

  Thank you Sam, I will test that out.  ; )

  EDIT : I don't have any problem getting an image uploaded to imgur, what I can't do easily, is get a direct link (https://i.imgur.com/xxxxxxx.png) for that image out of the app.

  It's not obvious at all, but try this.  In the Imgur mobile app:

  1.  Tap the person icon (lower right)

  2.  Tap Posts (upper left), then tap Public and change it to All

  3.  Tap the image you want.  It will come up in a new screen.

  4.  Tap the image again in the new screen

  5.  Tap the right-arrow (bottom right)

  A link should come up with a .jpeg extension.  Hit the Copy button to copy it.  Then try posting that URL in your post.

  Excellent! Thank you very much Sam, that works like a charm. If it's okay with you I will put a link to your post on my github links page.  ; )
