IMG and /IMG both in [ ] brackets around the bb code.
On a browser use the little box with a tree [emoji319] in it. It will add the needful by itself. One per picture is needed

You need to use the share code. Not sure if you get a choice with imagur but if you do then it's the bbcode. That dash might be the other way. Lol
In the box for replies click on the tree. It will produce a box to paste in the imagur code.
That saves you typing it out

I would add that the code after the image is [/img] and not [\img] (which is why Grant's does not work above*) - the img can be upper or lower case, it makes no difference.

* Well, it didn't work when I wrote this - now fixed.

An easy mistake to make, as is leaving out the slash altogether.
