    I found this program and thought it was amazing but it has one huge problem for me. I have dual monitors and whenever I use screen capture area and select a region on my second monitor it captures a region from my main monitor. If I select a region on my main monitor it works fine and captures that area. The only way I can capture my second monitor is to select a region the is capturing part of both monitors. Other than that every things works perfect, I would love to have this fixed so I can permanently start using this. I’m using version 3.75 Thanks!

    So, Imgur allows anonymous upload no more. Nice.
    I guess it is time to find another free image hosting.

    made a small donation ahead of the holidays 🙂 great software, my only wish would be that you make the notification bubble display the resulting screenshot when you click on it. i did notice one problem, the colors acquire an overexposure effect when you take screenshots in the Pale Moon web browser. very noticeable if you make a series of screenshot from each resulting pic, e.g. http://imgur.com/a/IAgbK. would be swell if you can fix that too

    happy holidays

      December 15th, 2014 at 21:40 | #7

      Thank you for the donation 🙂 I will do that for next update, so that when you click on the bubble it opens the direct image link. As for the colors, I’m not very sure what you mean, but it might be something with the jpeg compression.

    there are no longer any visible artifacts when using the 100% JPG option, the output is now similar to other programs i tested (ShareX, Greenshot). thanks again for the fix, i’m a bit short on cash at the moment but i promise i’ll put in a donation as soon as i can

    very nice program, really convenient vs something like ShareX or Greenshot. my only qualm with it is that 100% jpg is of much inferior quality than PNG. sometimes i need to take quick pictures to put into online forms that only accept JPG, so having to convert from PNG is a gigantic waste of time vs using an alternative software.hope you can consider boosting the quality of 100% jpg option. tyvm and enjoy your day

    thanx for the interest creator! alas, even if i restart the pc multiple time…still no drag and drop, and seems i am no alone 🙁

    and i am using now the portable version, so no firewall problems (i have norton 2014)
    can you please give us that code workaround ? seems like the last solution….or maybe a v3.76 can solve this huge issue some of us have?!

    I CANNOT get drag and drop to work neither ! and i can’t make “paste clipboard” to work also (i put it on control+v) !!!

    i use Windows 7 and tried v3.72 and v3.75 portable and EXE !!!
    HELP please as these functions are the reason i wanna use this great TOOL!

    • admin

      Did you try restarting it? Sometimes drag and drop doesn’t work right after setup, because the installer executes the app with admin-rights (I do have some code to work around that though). Do you maybe have Comodo Firewall or a similar sandboxing anvitirus program that might be blocking MyImgur?

    Any chance we could see more variables for the naming scheme?

    Perhaps a way to have Screenshot (1), Screenshot (2), etc instead of 2139 Screenshot, 58149 Screenshot, etc?

    Most likely some issue with the way your web browser catches links from other apps. As much as I’d like, it’s not easy to detect whether it worked or not: the app opens the URL, and after that it depends on your system, it should launch on the browser that was configured to catch http links, maybe in a new tab etc, detecting what happens after the dialog is not feasible. What I can do though is have an option to copy the URL to the clipboard so you can paste it in the browser.

    Actually I figured it out. It was confusing since nothing was happening and no errors showing. It was looking for a default browser that I no longer had installed. When I re-set IE as default, it popped right up with the authentication key. Works great now!

    Any antivirus? (avast/norton?)

    I would suggest some error checking/trapping so when an event doesn’t happen (like when the web page is not loading with the Authentication number) a dialog pops up giving us information to report back here. Right now, I’m just in the dark as to why it doesn’t launch the web page.

    @admin

    Hello again sir,
    thank you for the reply and update. It did fix one of the issues, my account is no longer logged out if I choose to shut down my computer and restart.

    Although the other issue remains that whenever I take a screenshot, it will not save the image on my computer as a png or jpg file.
    This is a screenshot of my settings http://i.imgur.com/5GzQB0t.png
    I tried several different locations as well as names but to no avail, I even tried re-installing the program.

    If you could give me any idea what’s up, that’d be awesome. Thank you for your help.

    September 17th, 2014 at 02:05 | #41

    I’m going to have to start using a different program.
    Although, the idea of Myimgur is straightforward and simple, it doesn’t fulfill the needs I want it to.

    A couple things:

    1. Whenever I turn off my computer, it auto-logs me out. Then I have to copy/paste the code and log back on.
    2. It never saves any files to hard drive.

    If you can fix these issues, I’ll re-download it.

    I’m using Windows 8.

    • admin
      September 17th, 2014 at 03:19 | #42

      Both issues are fixed in next version which I can upload in a few hours.
      1st issue can be solved by closing the app before Windows shutdown.
      2nd issue is most likely the “Naming” box being empty in the settings, default is “$date ~ capture”

    Is there a way to have the direct link to the image copied to the clipboard, rather than the one leading to the page with options and links.

    I.E. I want this page:
    http://i.imgur.com/ohk07Zb.png

    instead of this one:
    http://imgur.com/ohk07Zb

    • admin
      July 30th, 2014 at 14:26 | #44

      That’s already the case, however imgur seems to redirect to the full page the 1st time for some reason, hadn’t seen this behaviour before.

      • David
        July 30th, 2014 at 14:27 | #45

        Do you think you can modify that behaviour or is that only possible serverside?

        • admin
          July 30th, 2014 at 15:01 | #46

          It’s server-side, but I don’t think it’s intended, must be some bug on their end.

      • David
        July 30th, 2014 at 14:52 | #47

        Nevermind, I guess you’re saying this behaviour is unique.
        I guess I’ll just have to live with it.
        Great work on the program though, I love it.

    • David
      July 30th, 2014 at 14:26 | #48

      Actually I noticed just now that it actually copies the correct link, but I’m getting redirected to the other page anyways. It seems to work if I paste the url into my browser a second time or any number of times afterwards. I just get to the page with tools on the first shot.

    i’ve now tried all the new versions, portable and installers, x32 and x64. all of them crash on start, the x32 version gives you a popup with the error message. so i’m just wondering if its possible to download the previous version somehow? the previous version had problems but it at least worked and let me upload screenshots to my account.

    July 27th, 2014 at 05:47 | #69

    Using v3.62 x64 and it starts up, works fine, all up until I try and login. Try and login, and the program stops responding after a moment, and then closes itself. Not sure if this is a problem that is occurring because I updated and it’s using old data (I fully uninstalled and reinstalled, still does it), or what, but it makes it unusable in terms of uploading to my actual account.

    so every time i start up the app i get this

    and every time i try to create a new folder or anything else with folders i get this
    http://i.imgur.com/cy7Vxwu.png

    is it just me getting these issues or is this a temporary problem with the beta?
    other than that, thnx for an awesome app. before i found this i was using the print screen key, pasting in a bmp, saving it as png and uploading manually on imgur which took its time, but with this either one press and select what you want or just a key press to a whole window and i get the adress in my clipboard. amazing.

    I’ve been looking for an alternative to Puush and its super-handy software, and this software seems to be just the thing I’m looking for since I thought I’d give Imgur a try, but I cannot log in whatsoever. When I click “Login,” it opens a web page where it gives me a PIN to enter into the application. After I enter the PIN, I get an error notification in my system tray saying “Imgur request failed. Error during “Initial Login.” 200: OK-OK.” I also get an error window saying “Invalid pointer operation.”

    Here’s a GIF of my troubles: http://i.imgur.com/w1sJEn8.gif

    I am using 3.6 Beta on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit and I downloaded the 32-bit installer. Please respond because this program seems like it would be very useful and awesome if I could only figure out how to get it to work properly on my machine.

      Does it always fail with that same message? The Imgur API isn’t working very well at the moment, but the error you describe is a bit different:

        I just tried it several more times and yes it keeps failing with the same message over and over again. What I got from that thread is that it fails for that person sometimes and not others, whereas for me it fails every time.

        I have found out what is causing MyImgur not to sign in; it’s this program called Networx which I have been using to keep track of my data usage. I must turn it off to use MyImgur, which kinda sucks because I don’t like having to turn off a program that help me keep track of data usage. I have no idea why or how Networx was interfering with MyImgur.

        Anyway, as others have already stated, this program won’t upload GIFs; it gives me the error box “JPEG Error #53” whenever I try. If this happens, it won’t upload any other pics until I restart the app. Also, if I copy a picture file to my clipboard, it won’t let me upload via the “paste from clipboard” feature.

    The option to log in is missing. Next to account is just shows -Not logged in-, then when I add an image it changes to “free.” So it doesn’t upload to my actual account. Using version 3.6 Thanks.

      Log in option is in the settings window.

    Anyway you could add a checkbox that makes the thing stay minimized and not pop up every time I ->send to imgur, or take a screen capture?

    The drag and drop feature is not working in windows 8.1 64bit (Running 64bit version of MyImgur )

      Restart it and try again, drag&drop can bug if the app is run as admin (by default from the installer).

    Stopped working recently, says “API error 401, re-login may be needed”. I am logged in to imgur.
