Imgur Problem
I've been using Imgur for at least 5 years and for whatever reason I can't copy and paste images from any of my devices. This is on any forum not just SIGforum.....anyone have any idea ?

All I know is I’ve been using Imgur to post here and even recently. It works for me. I upload to Imgur then click on the pic then click on the BBC link code to copy it and paste in my post here.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Thanks for the response Rey. I've used Imgur successfully and just as you described for years and now I can't copy and paste anything from the site. I've tried from 3 different devices. I thought it might have been the VPN but with it turned off I get the same result, I just don't get it.

I've heard this advice given before with issues involving browsers: Clear your cache. Or you could try another browser on the same computer. Can you copy anything from a webpage and paste it to a Word document or similar program?

Yes I can copy and paste documents as always. I'll try a different browser. Thanks for the ideas.

Former Imgur user here. Now use Flickr. More photo centric instead of social site. Very pleased with the quality of their service. Maybe give them a try?

I'll take a look at Flickr as I have nothing to loose. Thanks for the help of the SF.

Flickr instructions are on the Attach Photos post. I needed them.

I use ImageShack (about $19/year). It supports avatars in addition to ordinary photos. “Unlimited” storage, they say. bac1023 uses ImageShack too.
