How do you use the picture button on the post box to put an image on a post? It says it needs a url, and imgur doesn't seem to work. Also, any way to effectively post worldographer images at full size on here?
Imgur works fine? Make sure you are using the correct link from imgur's share features. There should be a bbcode one [img][/img] just like the image button here produces. Use either 'Original GIF Link' and paste it in the Picture-button's popup, or copy BBCode and paste it directly into the textbody as is. Either way you'll end up with the [img][/img].

If you're still having trouble, also check that you're actually linking to the image itself (a common problem I find here is people are trying to link to the page that contains the image... Not the image). Image links end in .gif/.png/.jpg extensions.

As for worldographer, I don't know if they produce images that allow hotlinking, so I'd assume you would have to upload them to imgur first. Keep in mind you probably won't get 'full size', since the forums have an upper limit of I want to say something like 900px? And will resize any image over that to keep it from stretching and breaking the website.

For more information, I'd also check the Images Help Article.

On occasion I’ve had the provided image link BBcode on imgur not work. I’ve taken to right-mouse clicking on the image and using the ‘copy image location’ function and Ctrl-V pasting it where I use it on RPR with the Ctrl-P function. It opens the dialog box and I Works every time.
