Bummer!
It didn't work.

It only posted a link to imgur that shows the guitar case pic.
I wanted the pic itself to appear here in my post.

I think the term for what I want is third party hosting.

Can imgur do that?
If so, what do I do to make that happen?

Is it even possible, or does imgur, like photobucket, make you pay for that?
I have only a free acct.

The case is empty.
Someone steal your guitar?

On Imgur click on the picture you want to post, then click on DIRECT LINK and then post that into the window you get when you select the picture icon within a new message here on AGF. Use PREVIEW POST to test if it worked.

Another try.
This time I clicked on Direct Link.
Then I selected a size, Medium Thumbnail.
Let's see if that works ...

Nope.
Still doesn't work.

Do you folks who successfully use imgur as a 3rd party hosting site have paid memberships?
Or are you a free member, like me?

FWIW I registered a few days ago and this is the first time I've tried to do 3rd party hosting.

Okay, this time I'll try:
1. Click on "Copy" next to Direct link
2. Select a size
3. click on "Copy" next to Linked BBCode (message boards)

Here we go:

Thank you very much.
I'm glad it worked.

Could they have designed a less intuitive process?
Maybe everyone has psychic powers.
Or I'm just stupid.

This is a test of what is apparently the largest size, "Huge Thumbnail".

Thanks again to all who helped.

Bookmarking this. I need to open an imgur account and move my photobucket pics there.

How do you pronounce imgur?

Actually they designed a reasonably intuitive process

Perhaps made less intuitive by the fact you are adding an unnecessary step

There is no need to click "Direct link" ... simply click blue "Copy" button beside BBCode ( which says "messageboards" and forums" and then PASTE in AGF an dyou get this
