In the description below, reference is to image hosting at ImgBB imgbb.com/
Free image uploading; no signup/account required.
Signup/account required to save generated images. Problem may be encountered in receiving account activation email via AOL or other emailers.
Formats supported are JPG PNG BMP GIF TIF WEBP HEIC PDF (32 MB limit).
There are several image hosting sites, free and subscription-based. These sites retain image identifiers that are lost at Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.
Image posting Methods 1-2 require the use of an image hosting website.
Method 1. Use copy-and-paste of ImgBB generated link (BBCode for full image or thumbnail) in the post text body at Proboards, etc. The posted image is clickable; a click on either opens in the same way, so thumbnail saves post space.
Method 2. Extract the image URLs for full image or thumbnail from these ImgBB links (note the portion “https ://i. ibb. co/.....png”(sample spoiled with blank spaces) in the links) and use with the Insert-Image tool at Fidelity Investor Community, MFO, Proboards etc, and then they are posted as-is (not clickable).
For an example of extracting image-URL from ImgBB BBCode link (spoiled), see the bold portion:
(url=https://ibb.co/sKHSxjS)(img)https ://i. ibb. co/6HBh9Yh/Screenshot-2022-02-08-16-30-01.png(/img)(/url)
Method 3. Use PC screenshot for upload in the Insert-Image tool at Fidelity Investor Community, M*, etc.
Method 4. Use PC screenshot as Attachment at Proboards and click Insert-Attachment/File (otherwise, only the URL will appear). So, the option to insert the image is within the Attachment feature.
Method 5. Simple copy-and paste of images within the posts rarely work, but try it anyway before proceeding with one of the above methods.
Most ways are possible at Proboards: Copy-and-paste of ImgBB BBCode (Method 1); using image URL at ImgBB in Insert-Image tool (Method 2); using PC screenshot as Attachment and Insert-Attachment option (Method 4).
ADDENDUM: After a wait of several days, the prior registration attempt was wiped out and I tried to register with the SAME information and it WORKED (I received the activation mail via AOL promptly and verification worked smoothly). In addition to SAVING the images, I saw additional choices in the available formats for images (direct, HHTP, BBCode) so the abovementioned extraction of image-URLs from longer URLs is not necessary). But the site is still workable for those who don't want to signup/register.
