I need help posting images to the forum

[coggin66]

Can someone please provide some advice on the best way to post screenshots (or video) from XB1 to the forum. I generally read the forum on an Android based Galaxy tablet.  I can access the images on my XBox account via my Smartglass account on the tablet but I can't figure how to get them onto the forum posts either directly or via tablet screenshot.

Is there a recommended way to do this so we don't fill TGCT's storage?

I've tried to find an FAQ thread for this but could not find one.

I don't know if this will do any good....in fact, the more I think about it, I know it won't do any good.  Screw it, I will try to explain what I do.  I've had way too much to drink already, and Helen isn't here to write this down for me, but I will try to be comprehensible in what I am writing.  Have I made any spelling errors yet?  Good Lord, I digress.

If I want to post a personal picture (screenshots, wedding photos, boudoir photos) on the forums (one that does not have a website link), I simply use the Tinypic site, or the Imgur site, or some other image hosting site (Tinypic and Imgur are the best according to the general population of Japan, Brazil, and Wyoming).  I believe that these image hosting sites also do short videos as well.  I never had a tablet, but I know they get the Internet.  Tablets do, right?  I hope so, or I will look really stupid.

You probably know about Tinypic/Imgur already, and perhaps you've already tried them, but I will assume that you haven't.

The site will ask you to upload your picture that you have saved (such as the Xbox screenshot or video); it will then give you one of those tests that makes sure you're a human, and then at last it will issue a site address (link) to your pic, which you can then use on these forums.

The image below is from one of the courses I built.  It is from a screenshot of a flyby on my PS4 (it was later touched up a little by our graphic designer at MORTradio).  I made the link to post the pic here from Tinypic.

Anyway, I hope this helps.  If it doesn't, or if you think I wasted both of our times, I guess that's how it goes sometimes.  Usually I'm pretty quiet when I'm having cocktails, so I can't say why I decided to make a post here.  Sorry if I wasted your time.  Have a drink, it'll make you feel better.

Thanks Harry for taking up some your drinking time to respond. I'll give that a go.
