-Save the following script somewhere and set as command: ''<somewhere>/imgur-upload.sh %f <CLIENT ID>''
+! This custom action allows you to host your screenshot on this free online hosting service, so that you can share it easily with other people. Imgur automatically generates a tiny, medium, and full-size image of your screenshot, which can be used to create thumbnails pointing to the full size screenshot.
-For the time being, screenshooter provides its own client id as ''%imgur_client_id'', in future releases that will be removed, you will need to register at Imgur and obtain your client id.
+<note important>Hosting images in a public-facing service must be done with caution, as it is not possible to guarantee the removal of a image after publishing it. Before using this action, please review Imgur's [[https://imgur.com/tos|Terms of service]], if you do not agree with the terms please refrain from using this service.</note>
+Save the following script somewhere and set as command: ''<somewhere>/imgur-upload.sh %f <CLIENT ID>'', you need to register at Imgur and obtain your client id.
