I WAS BORN THIS WAY
I've always used the app to upload, click the upload finished notification, gotten the share URL from that, threw it into chrome, long pressed to open image in new tab, then got the image URL from that.


I REALLY miss the upload imgur button in the awful app :qq:

on my imgur app (android), if i tap the photo and then click share it gives me the url for the jpg rather than the page, so that cuts out one step at least.

All that app is for me is a non functional social media app, it won't upload either

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
I feel like an idiot, but where on Imgur Mobile is the loving upload button? Not the app, mobile site. This is what I see:

The hamburger menu is top left just has links like Help, Privacy, etc..

Scrolling down just shows more popular recent posts (and ads.)


Then if I go into my profile/posts, I can see my previously posted stuff, but still no upload button:


I can do it by forcing the Desktop version, but that's a little more awkward to use.

Oh man, have you guys mastered the imgur app somehow? Because if so I need to plead for you help because I have got nowhere with it.

I manage to get as far as this screen:



And then i tap "Post". That immediately takes me to this screen:



...and there's no indication that anything has happened. Did it upload? where did it go? how do i see it? Mysteries for the ages. I can't fathom it.

I did check my user account's Posts tab to see if it appeared there but... the only images that appear there are the above two screenshots. Which I emailed to myself and uploaded to imgur from my computer :rolleyes:

Then how do you upload from your phone? That just gives me a drag and drop box, like it wants me to open a new Explorer window and drag files from there.

Forcing Desktop mode. In Chrome, click the settings button and then check the 'Desktop site' box.

Edit: If I am misunderstanding your comment, when I turn on Desktop mode, there is a "Choose Photo/Video" that is clickable for me on mobile.

On the mobile site, I just go directly to https://imgur.com/upload to get the prompt without having to switch to desktop mode to see it. The menu looks a bit borked normally, but it has usable file upload or url input options, as well as the useless drag-and-drop one.

Your post spurred me to look into this a little closer. Turns out, it's a toss-up as to whether hidden images appear on the "hidden" tab or not, so "all" is your best bet.

So here is my tried and tested 16-tap guide for the imgur app

1. Open app
2. Tap upload button
3. Tap image(s)
4. Tap Next
5. Tap Post
6. Tap user account button
7. Tap "Public"
8. Tap "All"
9. Tap the freshly uploaded image
10. Tap it again
11. Tap the share button
12. Tap copy next to the URL
13. Switch to awful where your post is in draft
14. Tap BB button
15. Tap Insert Image
16. Tap OK

Voila

haha I came here for the same problem as everyone else, this doesn't work. it's a gif so tapping it once brings up the tracker bar and tapping again doesn't do poo poo. the share button link just links to a web page with no image extension. it's very frustrating.

also I tried to add an attachment and the awful app bitched that I didn't give it file permissions, but I can't add any permissions because Android says it didn't request any

This may have been asked before, but is it the forums that randomly log me out, or does it have something to do with the way the app has to work?

It feels so random when it happens, and it always seems to be at the most inconvenient time for me.

Anyway, regardless of the answer, I'm still happy to have this app. Everything I get for $0 and 0 ads is just amazing.

Thanks again for doing hard work so that I can be entertained!

I don't remember the last time it's happened to me in a browser between password changes, but it's happened a number of times in the app between the various devices I'm using it on. Not frequently, but enough to notice.

It doesn't do this to me, but it could be a security setting of some kind. Maybe you're signing out when you're using the computer and the site is signing you out of all devices?

I've noticed that if i try to use video tags with a youtube link that is from the desktop version of youtube the post changes after i hit submit to break the link. using the mobile version of youtube the embed works normally. I'm not sure if that's a something awful-side issue or even a new issue just fyi

Alright I've been going around all my apps making them follow the system theme (dark at night, light at day). For Awful I can't seem to find that setting. Is it just dark all the time or light all the time? If so I don't mind much (maybe when it's bright I should be enjoying the sun instead of squinting at a dead gay comedy forum anyway)

Can you post an example url that breaks on desktop, perhaps in a code tag so its not messed with? Is this only when you put a desktop youtube url into the app, or does it break in the browser as well?
