1. Help me out please. I have no idea what this means or what kind of problem it might suggest.

Could you or someone please explain this to the uninitiated? Thanks.

3. It's about linking to and posting, mostly pics, from the Imgur site...

Imgur is a photo hosting site, like Photobucket.

8. Tell me, please, what is a "hot link" if not a sausage? Seriously, why is linking to Imgur a problem

10. There is an imgur app...once you get it you right click on it and copy pic, then it goes in its

own page and you do a copy image address. You can also go to the site and upload from various web pages and your computer...look to the right and you will see an icon looks sort of like a twisty rope and click on that. And you can copy that way too.

12. Thank you, but I must confess that this has been explained to me before (perhaps not as thoroughly..

....as you have done) and I still get tripped up the next time I try post an image. I'm pledging to you to do better this time and make a note that covers your explanation, in the hope that I'll finally get it. Thanks again.

5. Probably an error in your linking code somewhere...

4. I posted something yesterday and had no trouble.

And it still works now.

6. Hmmmm let me try again;

nope. Must be something with Imgur and me. Thanks!

7. Try asking how in Community Help.

A while ago Imgur changed how you directly share an image, I think.
