Yes. Your post is pointing to your image on imgur. If you remove the image from imgur the image will be broken on the forum.

One's right and one's wrong
I don't use the imgur app. I use the mobile version of the site and it provides a way to copy the BBCODE for an image directly. That's what I typically do.

Ok I figured it out.
Instead of “copy link” I used the “copy post link”.
The difference? Absolutely no clue but it worked.
LOL! Reread my posts again, I told you all that
Happy it worked

Go to imgur.com and sign in as usual. Click the icon in the top left corner that looks like three horizontal lines. Select 'Images' and that will take you to your image library. Scroll through your images and find the one you want to post. Click on it. Now, click the dropdown labeled 'Link' and you can select the type of link you'd like to use. One of the available types is 'BBCode'. Select that and the BBCode link will appear in the field to the right. Copy that link to your post and you're done.

Ahhh, I thought you were posting directly to DWC from your phone, not using Imgur.

No problem, I follow it now. I just find it’s quicker to use the app and paste into the post that way. Im glad there is multiple ways to do it.

It seems like a lot of the feedback is not to disable. I will also probably post less and be less engaged without Tapatalk, even though I’m not a big fan of some of the issues. It is easier to see multiple forums and post pics via the app. Just my worthless 2 cents.

Tapatalk is how I post pic’s from my phone. Actually, I only use it to post pics as I find the browser user experience better than Tapatalk’s. It was nearly always a two step process for me before - Tapatalk then edit the post in the browser.
I’ve not tried imgur, but I might give it a shot over the weekend. Open cockpit day tomorrow at the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island, so I’ll have some sample pics to try to post.

Same here.
Especially as I go from forum to forum.
It’s easier to post and read post on the go for me.

Yes. Your post is pointing to your image on imgur. If you remove the image from imgur the image will be broken on the forum.

The first copies the link for the page the image is on, the second copies the link to the image itself. Their terminology is a bit weird.

Surfing the threads on mobile isn’t that bad- but it’s not as organized as tapatalk has spoiled us.
But the bigger problem- now posting pics is a two step process. Almost like what’s the point unless you’re really trying for a sales thread. Tapatalk makes images easy to post by using a simple snap and post it method.

Pat started with the same tune and figured it out before most people even read this thread! It’s not that hard.
