Flapp, the imgur.com works fine, it's good, but I don't know how to control the size of the pics transferred.
It's coming out really big..................
For some reason, I wasn't able to post pics on 2a the regular way.................
Note: That's the nature of digital imagery: size matters. You should know what size best matches your needs, then know how to resize images appropriately. Example: resizing a 32x32 thumbnail to 600x800 is probably not a good solution, since the resolution of the original image is way too grainy to enlarge that much and be recognizable. Making images smaller usually has no problems, but upsizing results will vary.
Directions: In IMGUR, in your list of images (grid), hover over the pic you want to share (a PEN icon and a TRASHCAN icon appear over the bottom of the pic).
Click the [Pen] icon. The image is framed in a green border with a green checkmark in the corner, and an [Edit] button appears above the top-right of the grid of pics.
Click [Edit].
Once in edit mode, if the pic is wider than tall (landscape), I usually make mine about 600 - 800 pixels wide, and I accept whatever height it calculates to maintain the aspect ratio.
If the pic is taller than wide (portrait), then I set the height to between 600 - 800 and take whatever width gets set.
To change the width or height, just click the number to change and type the new value.
Use the [TAB] key after typing in your new width or height to see the change.
Once you have the correct size set, click [SAVE]. The original pic you uploaded will now be altered to that size.
If you haven't copied the link to that pic yet, you'll need to go back to your images list. Click on that pic, and you'll see the links. (That screen is where the [Edit] link is at the bottom-left, FYI.)
In the Forum, if you previewed the bigger pic, then tried resizing, the one in 2A's PREVIEW won't always change. You'll need to make an update in the post and refresh the screen to get the forum to go back out and "see" the smaller pic.
If you already pasted the IMGUR link to 2a, then resized it, the link will be the same. No need to copy/paste it again. But, be sure to update something in the post (type a space?) and refresh the browser to see the change.
If the post keeps showing the pre-edited size, try copying and pasting the IMGUR link again into the post. That seems to be a good workaround when 2A won't show changes. I don't understand why, since the link you paste is identical to the one replaced. It's probably just in how the forum software caches the image and needs to be prompted to retrieve the image again.
Hope that helps.
