Want to quickly post a pic but want to skip all the other step?

I got a fix for you.

--- Quote from: firefox ---This addon lets you upload any image found on the internet with a simple right button mouse click. Just right click an image and select "upload image on imgur". The URL of the newly uploaded image is automatically copied in the clipboard and a new tab opens to the imgur page.
--- End quote ---

--- Quote from: Chrome ---After the extension is installed you will see a little imgur icon appearing on the right side of the chrome address bar if you are viewing a imgur compatible image. A click on the imgur icon will upload it to imgur and the new imgur link will be directly put in your clipboard.
--- End quote ---

--- Quote from: Internet Explorer ---A simple program that allows you to right click on a file and send it to   Imgur. It supports multiple files can copy the links to your clipboard.   Windows only.
--- End quote ---
more support at the link

But basically
right-click, :save to imgur:, right-click, :paste:
