Help needed making a post with pictures.

submitted by Zapped from self.help

I can't figure out how to make a post with photos. I made an Imgur account and uploaded the photos there, however I can't get the post to include the picture. Also, how does the thumbnail work? Does it automatically show up if I link it correctly?

Yes just link to it and the thumbnail will appear.

Saitit even has a feature where you can drag-drop a picture in to the URL field, and it will automatically create an imgur post for you, and link to it automatically! How's that for convenience

Or you could use Catbox.moe. Just drag and drop your picture and it gives you a URL in a second or two. Just copy the URL and paste it into your post.

I'll try to remember that in the future.

I did not know that. That's cool.

Yeah it's really nice. Sometimes I just use it to post things to imgur and get a link, not even to post on saidit. It's the fastest way I know of to upload an image to the internet and get the URL for the image. Even faster than imgur's UI
