8. Regarding imgBB.com

This is my go-to image sharing site, I find it easy to use and reliable.

Two things...

When you upload a pic it gives you a link to a page with the image on it, not a direct link to the image file. What I do is either select that URL and "Open Link in New Tab," then right-click and "Copy Image Link, or I hit the drop-down menu above the provided URL and select Full Linked HTML code and select the image path from within the HTML code. I know it's extra steps, I wish imgbb would just provide the full path upon upload, but the solution is simple.

Also, what I find very useful and convenient, is that if you click on the "Upload" link at the top of the page, next to "Sign In", instead of hitting the "Upload" button in the middle of the page, you have the option to "add image URLs." This is great for online images that use special characters or have paths or incompatible file types (like .webp, etc.) that are not rendered by DU, like images from Reddit for example. Just paste in the URL to an image, and imgbb will host it without any fuss.

Happy posting!
