How in the world do you get the BBcode for imgur?

[John Connor]

No idea what forum I should post this in so I'm posting here. Since they changed the site I don't see a BBcode option anymore. It just has HTML embed code. If the BBcode option is there some where could you take a screen grab and show me where?

Thanks!

No one? 😕

Don't know the answer but can't you right click the image select view image info and use the location url in some way using the forum UI?

I'm a member of several forums and each is different. I always manage to get the pic, gif or video (if permitted) posted using either the supplied codes or the url next to location as described above. Either that or I right click the image and to save it and then upload it to a free image hosting site. As a bonus you can find and upload the downloaded image without removing from the sandbox 🙂.

Does this help? http://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10

I know a lot of BBcodes and don't even need the full WYSWYG editor. I tried the image location with

[img]

tags around the link, but it didn't work for me. Let me try again. I don't know why they removed the BBcode snippet. 🙄

Edit-

Looks like I can use the URL in the address bar, but you have to add the picture extension. In this case .png.

Edit- I added jpg and that works too! Cool. Now I can use imgur again and not Photo F it. LOL

There's a js dropdown box on the right you have to expand now to get the full list of codes.

If it's JS that might be why since I run NoScript. I'll check that out latter when I ever upload an image.

I noticed it doesn't work if I have Adblock running. Once I pause it and reload the page I get the tags back.

Yes, I figured that out yeterday when I seen uBlock block some ads. So I have to have uBlock not block imgur. I'm not really willing to find out what element is being blocked so I'll just keep uBlock off for imgur.

Every damn time a website gets updated it's like a damn step back! Worked perfectly fine before. Just like my bank's web page.

Hopefully it will continue to block your massive wall of spam graphics you used to post.

Well atleast we got it figured out. I'm feeling a little lazy myself so I'm not all too motivated to find the element in Adblock either haha.
If you do get to the root of it let us know and if I do I will return the favor.
