I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to do this in, but thought this would help people tons.

It seems like a chore to post pictures on forums, so unless the picture is already on my website, I typically don't do it. I discovered a new method that is the quickest and easiest that I've found so far!

Step 1: Look at anything on your screen that you want a picture of and press the print screen button on your keyboard.

Step 2: Go snaggy.com and press ctrl+v. Crop it there and save.

Step 3: Copy the url and paste it here inside of the [ img ] [ /img] tags (don't put spaces).

Here is an example that took me literally 15 seconds!

I hope this helps folks overcome the difficulty in posting pictures here!

If I wanted to post a video can that be done or do I need to have a website link for people to go to view? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Jeff

Good question! I'm not sure about videos.

All I do is tap any picture to save it to my phone's photo album. Then to put it in a post, I click the picture icon above the post, hit the upload button, and done. Takes a few seconds.

Or you could just use the insert image icon.

You have to have a url to point you though using the icon.

Maybe I am the last guy on earth using a desktop computer and not a phone to roam the internet most of the time. You can use either a URL or upload from your computer. not sure how it looks it you are just using a phone though.Screen Shot 2018-12-24 at 11.41.45 PM.png

One thing the site I mentioned does is that you can screen shot something and crop without the need to use a graphics editor or save to your computer first. Sonetimes that can be a pain.
