I still need to figure out how to post cat(and dog) pictures.
___________________________________________

I’ve posted a handful of images in my short history here and each one took about 1/2 hour or more because I don’t really know what I’m doing. I do know that, because FR is an HTML site, pictures have to be uploaded to a third party host site (e.g. IMGUR or postimages) that’s able to convert the images to HTML. The part that always takes the longest for me is cleaning the “address” of the superfluous information that prevents it from appearing as an image and not appear as a postage stamp. It’s a trial and error activity and I’m always surprised when I actually get it to work. Posting clever memes is beyond my current abilities, and I have complete admiration for all the experts here who can create and post a meme in the 30 seconds that follow a meme-worthy comment.

I’ve been using post images a long time. It’s so easy. After it uploads I click on it and click on the tab that says share. You’ll get a whole list of links. I always choose the bottom one called hot links for websites. Copy and paste the whole link, just takes two clicks. In the reply window I always add a return after my last comment then copy the link.

I’ve found it easier to upload to a meme generator rather than an image hosting site.

I can either create memes from images or gifs from my own computer, or simply upload a meme I found and saved and then save it again as a meme.

Not sure I’m explaining that correctly.

Try imgflip.com.
