Title: Uploading pictures to the forum?
Post by: nanoflower on September 14, 2016, 04:14:57 am: Can anyone tell me how I upload pictures to THIS site?
I want to make sure that my images does not get deleted by i.e. Imgur or some other host?

Click on "Attachments and other options" directly under the text editing box where you type your post.

Then click on the "Browse..." button to select an image to upload from your local HDD.

Check out a BYOAC-specific step-by-step tutorial here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,139723.msg1445482.html#msg1445482). ;D

I've never had imgur delete a picture I've uploaded and I've used imgur for a few years now.

Mind you, I have an account with them...maybe they keep anonymous uploads for X amount of time then purge them.

For the record, I can't see Lilshawn's footer image and I'm not on a work network.

I've gotten in the habit of using the forum's image functions.
