First of all, it has come to my notice that posting an image on the forum has become one of the major challenges newbies and beginners on the forum face at their early stage of attaining the eligibility rank which enables users to start posting an image on the forum (Jr. Member & above) because I was ones a victim of it and I know how frustrating it feels to have a very beautiful thread to share in mind which involves images but because of your incapability not been familiar with the available tools, it dies down in imagination.
(Oh. What a pity!!! 😟)
However, many people are much familiar with "Imgur" but not all know how to use it, most especially the mobile users, because I once tried it, didn't know how to use it and had to uninstall it from my phone, and luckily, I came across imgbb.com which has been helpful to me all this while.
But all things been said, I'm fully aware that we have over 50 to 100 threads on this forum talking about "How to upload an image on bitcointalk" which their all focus is centered on "Imgur" alone and no other, which is the reason why I decided to write this thread to introduce to you, imgbb.com (imgur's alternative) that is fast, easy to use and best for mobile users. And I will be showing you step by step guide on how to do that now.
