    Imgur isn't too bad to figure out. Once you've made your account and logged in, go to the right hand top corner where it says your username and a right click will bring up a menu with an option called Images. Go to images and there should be a green button to add images. Click on that and drag and drop or copy and paste your pictures where it says. Once it's there click on the image and on the right hand side there's a list of options to create a link. - Think its BB Code for this spot. Paste that link into your bit tech post and when you submit (or preview) you'll see a giant pic (or a tiny pic) that you'll then have to muck about resizing in imgur ...

    Wow, i did a wall of text

    Unexpected errors are the best sort of errors 'cos they don't give any bleedin' help at all LOL.

    So did you manage to get them on to Imgur, then have the problem, or was it a problem just getting them on there ?

    A very nice bit of kit you got yourself there. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it, whatever you use it for.
