PLAD Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Hello, I'm new here and figuring out how to insert an imgur album into a post. I want to master it here rather than mess up a specific thread. I saw the instruction in one of the forum welcome posts:"You can also embed full Imgur albums to the forum by setting the I can embed a single picture from my imgur account. My problem is that I can't seem to find the right imgur code to insert for a whole album. I use the text that imgur gives me when I select "Embed album", though I strip off the stuff before the http and after the last slash. Here's what imgur gives me:<iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="http://imgur.com/a/chTvF/embed"></iframe>Background- I'm an old guy who has never joined a forum before, so I haven't done this stuff anywhere. Here goes:Javascript is disabled. View full album tags around your Imgur album code (http://imgur.com/a/szz8j#0) ".I can embed a single picture from my imgur account.

With or without the slash after the 'F'.Maybe:Javascript is disabled. View full albumNope. Doesn't work with or without the s (I put them in there from the example). I know that stand for Uniform Resource Locator but I don't know what might be meant to be in there.How about using everything imgur gives me when I select "Embed Album"?:Javascript is disabled.

PLAD Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hello, A final note and bit of knowledge for those who may visit this thread in the future. Sal and AlamoVampire's suggestion worked perfectly, by just putting the small letter-and-number code between the IMGUR brackets the album displayed correctly. However I then went back to imgur and deleted the little test album I had made for this post (I'm always trying to keep my inbox and whatnot as uncluttered as possible). I also wondered if this forum keeps copies of the pictures and albums once they are linked. I now see they do not, which makes sense, but hey, now I'm sure. So future viewers who see this post will now see the imgur error screen where I say I successfully put the album and wonder if it didn't work. Sorry about that. It worked.
