I am going to try to "endeavor to persevere' with this convoluted process. But I will have to confess, with all due respect to everyone here who says it's so easy, literally 60 seconds, is just flat wrong. Lots to do to first get photos from your photo source, either camera or phone, onto your pc, then selecting a hosting site that actually works, before you can then put them on this forum. Here's a video that proves my point:

Posting directly from your phone simplifies the process. I promise you that if I have a good signal I can post a picture here in less than 60 seconds using www.postimages.org.
The key to doing it quickly is to ignore all their attempts to get you to sign up for an account. Click on the link, then select "choose images." On the next screen, select "media." That will get all of your pictures onto the screen, so select the one you want. Once it has completely loaded, and that takes only a few seconds with a good signal, you will see your picture and a menu below it. Click "hotlink for forums" if you want to post it here. Then you just paste it here and hit "post reply." Give it a try. gas station near me hours
Coosa, I tried ten times to get to “media”. Never once. I even resorted to creating an account with my cc. It just keeps going in circles, asking me for my cc and email/password to “finish”. This is so frustrating. ‘Bout ready to give up. JR

Here are the steps I use to do so with jpgbox.com, John.
1 - I start out on DGJ site and then create a new tab which opens up the address box for me to type in "jpgbox.com".
2- When jpgbox.com comes up I click on the box that says "Choose File".
3- When I do that I get a page that allows me to go to downloads, or photos, etc.
4- I normally go to photos, which brings up hundreds of photos we've saved to our "Photos" on our computer. I find the photo I want, then click on it, and it is highlighted.
5- That causes a box to highlight which says "Choose", and I click on it.
6- Then I am automatically re-directed to my jpgbox.com page. I then see a box at the bottom of the page which says "Upload image as guest". Click on that.
7- In a few seconds your picture will be uploaded and will appear on the page. Just below it there will be choices of the size image you want it to be. As long as you stick with the size they choose for you it will always post without problem.
8- There will be two boxes under your picture. Click on the top one that says "For forums". That highlights it in blue. Copy that.
9- Go back to your other tab to go back to the DGJ forum and paste it in your reply box there. Then submit your reply.
I know this looks lengthy and confusing, but I promise you that after you learn the procedure you can do it in a minute or less. I have never attempted to post a pic from my smart phone, prolly never will. All my pics are stored on my desktop computer anyway.
Good luck. Call me if you need help walking through it.

Well, don't worry, I am an old Ag teacher and we will figure this out.
You didn't follow directions if you tried to create an account; DO NOT create an account.
First, since you did try to create an account you need to reboot your phone to get rid of all that. Reboot it and click the link below:
Click on the button that says "choose images". Then this screen will appear:
Note the menu at the bottom of the screen that has now appeared. That's the one that has "media" as one of the options, and once you click on it all of your files will appear.
Try it again and see if you can get to that screen.

I cannot. When I click on "Choose images" the four icons do not appear, only a black box that shows "photo library", "take photo", and "choose files". I cannot proceed without clicking on one of those. If I choose "photo library", it does bring up my photos stored my Iphone, but I cannot proceed without having to go through the "Finish" procedure. Dammit! JR
