upload images
« on: April 11, 2023, 07:43:23 AM »
Would someone be so kind as to explain to me how I can upload images? Because I don't understand how the process is to upload photos.

thank you.

Hi Wiilkas,

Assuming you are referring to images within your messages:

First, you need to host the image online and retrieve its URL
For example, you can host pictures here https://imgbb.com/ for free or right-click on any image you find online

Then, while typing a new message, you need to click on the "insert image" button
This will open two tags and you place the URL between these two tags

It's a good practice to restrict the image height in the first tag like so [img height=400], or else your image may take the whole page!

Let me know how this goes, peace

Additional to what Fuzi explained and judging from the "broken image/404"'ish looks of WIILKAS' avatar, I assume he asks this for primarily setting that up.
You need to put the same link (e.g. imgbb.com/XXXX.jpg) in the avatar location in your user profile without the tags, it's literally just the very adresses from HTTP to the very JPG/PNG.
