Hey guys quick question, how do I post images because I tried a Imgur link and I clicked on attached files, and that did not work as well as Imgur. Somebody Help?

Thanks

Go to More Reply Options. You should see Browse Files at the bottom. Once the file is selected, click Attach File. If you're intending to attach a file to the actual post, click Add to Post.

Or, just click on the "Image" icon in the editor and paste the url to the image.

Or you can add a picture to your gallery and then add it with 'My Media' option within the reply options also if it's from a webpage you can click on image on the options and paste your image :)

 

Or attach a file like @Godlygamer23 said :D

I use imgur, then use the standard HTML {img}{/img}* tags. to link to the image.

Example : Say i wanted to show this image : http://i.imgur.com/Lxh3Bh7.jpg

You'd put that link in between the tags, like so :  {img}http://i.imgur.com/Lxh3Bh7.jpg{/img}

Result :

 

Also, if the image is particularly large, or you have several that you wish to put into one post, you can do the spoiler tags, which are {spoiler}{/spoiler} to create a convenient way to compress your post. Spoiler tags look like this : {spoiler}{/spoiler}

This is an example of a spoiler tag.

Using the spoiler tag in conjunction with the image tag will allow you to compress your post in a convenient manner. It is especially useful when linking several images and wish to keep your post condensed.

An example of combining these two tags :

 

*Replace { and } with [ and ]
