screenshot which a lot of browsers have built in. Ctrl+Shift+S for firefox. Then save to your computer, crop it, upload to imgur, wait til it says it’s uploaded, which happens after it shows, then right click and View Image. Then the url will be in the browser and you can copy/paste here.

Many other ways to do it too. I have a program that I can draw the rectangle that I want to take a pic of. Saves the step of cropping with some other program. I run linux though so the program name probably won’t help but it’s Spectacle.

It’s a process regardless, especially with sites like FR where you can’t upload images directly to this site because it would cost too much in hard drive space or something. That’s where imgur or some other free image hosting service comes in. Of course 3rd party services won’t necessarily be around forever so old FR posts might tend to have missing images but this isn’t an image based type of site anyway.

Thanks for that info.

I’m on Safari....it’s pretty basic and feature poor :(

Will have to look into Firefox, for FR.
