SOLVED! How to post images into forum posts / profile bios! :)

Aight in steps!
1. Open up new tab: https://imgur.com/upload

2. In another tab, drag and drop image onto upload. Should create a green checkmark with "creating your image..."

2+ If it doesn't load, as in says "image can't load", you gonna need an extension that allows you to view google images, but on its own website/domain. If ya need: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/view-image/jpcmhcelnjdmblfmjabdeclccemkghjk?hl=en
I downloaded it for other stuff i.e. projects and shtuff

3. After dragging and dropping, or pasting link, hover over the top right corner of your image, and there's be a URL different from the above one, and copy that guy. Paste that link into profiles, forum posts, or whatever you want.

However, there are some bugs! After posting an image of thibault, I couldn't respond to that image with text, only with another imgur URL (which fixed it!)
Gonna stick this in a forum post :D
Thank you @NoobBatter for posting this.

test with photo of Yifan Hou, which I found somewhere on my computer

Note : It is not necessary to open an account on Imgur !! It seems that Imgur stores these anonymous images somewhere on its server. Maybe these photos will be deleted after a certain period of time ?

I made a second test with another photo.
This is the site which Imgur creates first after dragging and dropping the photo.
imgur.com/a/NUhmH5K

Right click on this photo and then copy the graphik address or the link address and copy it to the posting in the lichess forum

Another test.
It seems to be possible to add more photos to the same link.

Another test.
1.Went to Youtube and opened a video. Stopped it and pressed "Print" on my keyboard to copy the photo into the storage.
2. Then opened the Imgur Link angain with my 2 Yifan How photes and added the copied photo as a third picture.
3. Copied the link and posted it here.
