How do I get a picture to post? [View all]

I have a meme I want to post but when I insert the address in the link function, the picture doesn't appear on my preview.
I've also tried copying directly onto the post, but that doesn't work. How do I post it?

It's not working. BainsBane Sep 2020 #3

Yes. That doesn't appear to work due to FB's setup. Save it to your desktop and upload it CurtEastPoint Sep 2020 #4

I downloaded the picture BainsBane Sep 2020 #5

Good. It's truly a PITA. Also the carousels or slide shows like 1/50, 2/50 etc often don't work CurtEastPoint Sep 2020 #6

You have to create an account BainsBane Nov 2020 #16

If you use Postimages, you don't need an account (link below) PunkinPi Nov 2020 #17

PostImages.org is the hosting site. ManiacJoe Nov 2020 #18

Fair point, I'll edit my post. I just meant you don't need an account. nt PunkinPi Nov 2020 #19
