Is there a way to resteem and updated version perhaps? And tag as tutorial... Even though you are happy about not being paid for it, I feel you deserve better ;) I mean. I've seen some steemers that post their evergreen posts more than once by making updates and revamping. It's not the best practice I guess, but sometimes it's kind of necessary.

http://postimg.org seemed to have a lot of shady reviews so I went back to my old https://imgur.com/ account. I'm still not quite sure why you can't use https://steemitimages.com which works out quite nicely when you write a blog post. Regardless, thanks for reminding me how this is done!

@edicted Nothing was working for me until I tried imgur. Thanks for the suggestion!

i figured out recently that you can also use steemit by posting the pictures and using the link

redmage.png

steemitimages.com/DQmUVraYK2zCskWWQTR5WEaCaF7EoJ1to1zm4yx6Ef3Him2/redmage.png

just click and drag picture to steemit then copy paste the link.

Thanks ...saw your reply :)

Hi! Do you know who owns the rights of the pictures uploaded to steemit or the URL place? Can I share pictures without worrying about them being stolen? Thank you in advance!

Hello! This is my first day on Steemit and I am having trouble with my profile pic. I followed the instructions and entered the direct link in the wallet settings then updated, however my pic is not visible so I am wondering if this might be a sizing issue?

Hahaha, so it's there! However I am in need of rotation. If there is any instruction you have on this it would be greatly appreciated. I will go back to postimages to see if I can figure this out.

Thanks for the info upvoted

I don't have an option for "opening a new tab" when I go to the settings page.

its not an option on that page it just means open a seperate URl so you can come back to that one but you dont have to you can go to postimage first and copy the direct link of your uploaded image then return to the settings page and enter it.

Hello everyone. Ive got a problem with my profile pic. Iam new to steemit and my profile pic wont come up. Ive followed several instructions and it always works for the coverpic but my profile pic wont show. I found that many people are having this issue but couldnt find an answer so far. Thanks for ur help I appreciate it !

Don't know whether to feel incapable for not knowing how to do this simple thing... or to be proud of the fact I took time to look it up and educate myself.

You really help me, thanks bro!!!!

Yes, this helped

Thank you for this! ♥♥ Problem Solved for me :)

it doesnt seem to be working here mate, dont understand whats wrong, shouldnt it appear as soon as u provide the link and click update?

yes it seems some were having trouble updating the profile picture while the steemit developers were making changes to the system the update may not have gone through so feel free to try again now that they are done with that section. make sure your copying the Direct Link not the first one that just says Link.

I finally did it with your help! Thank you! :)

is that link supposed to be https://postimages.org not "postimg.org" ?

yes I made a comment about it in the comments because the post is so old I am unable to edit it anymore but that was the correct address back then.

"Since making this post the website http://postimg.org has changed the domain to https://postimages.org/ so the link on the above post will no longer work, since my post is older than a week I am unable to change it in the post."
