My UK Imgur account is fine?

you don't need to make an account to post you just won't be able to delete it later if you wanted to (as there's no account to authorize against).

imgbox is good and has quite a few options.

How to Post Images into the Media Section

Putting Images Into the Media Section On the left side of this page, you'll see a long list of options. If you click Media, you'll be taken to a page full of images. If you want to add an image of your own (conforming to the guidelines, naturally), you can do so by clicking the Add Media...

I believe this is only for mods. When I hit "media" all I can do is add a link.

No, @Zloth uses it, and is also the expert on it.

Well, when I click on media, all I get is a field to input a web address.

Confusion caused by who I wonder - looks like Brian used wrong image posting instructions...

The media section referred to in Zloth's post is not the button you chose
(obviously 2 things having same names isn't ideal but I didn't make this website)

If you click Media, you'll be taken to a page full of images.

I think he is referring to the side panel of website that lets you upload images here.
this is the add media button he meant - https://forums.pcgamer.com/media/categories/fan-art.1/add

this one is closer to the topic on hand

Quite possible, I just linked the sticky thread—I remember having a blind spot trying to make it work, and dropping it since Imgur is so quick & easy.

Zloth's instructions are for the Media side bar
The link I showed (here) is for posting images in normal posts. From imgur.

It doesn't help there are 2 things titled Media, that was bound to confuse someone eventually
Also mine isn't a sticky as no one reads them normally anyway... so I didn't bother.
