Age of Strategy Forums

It is important to avoid posting external images as attachments (we will consume up disk space easily, and can make forum be slow)
instead use image links to external websites.

2 topics here
1. "Attaching" External links
2. You have local image - what to do


"Attaching" External links

This image is not uploaded to forum, but a simple link to a image on the web:



how to make it?

1. have the link to the image itself, you have a good link if on the end of the link u see a ".jpg" or ".png" or other image extensions.
2. you need to have the link embedded between img and /img tags:
example: you can do the same pressing the image button in the port editor toolbar (between the Star icon and the link icon)


You have local image - what to do

You have a local image (eg. a Screenshot) ou need to put it on a free image storage site - here is one needs no registration:

imgbb.com

how to:
1. drag-and drop the image onto the site
2. and press upload
3. when uploaded you get a link to image like this: "https://ibb.co/HPkDHJm"
4. load the link in browser
5. right-click on image and "copy image url" into clipboard.
6. and now use that url as written under ""Attaching" External links"

Some thing like this??

no
dont use the "attachment" tab.
simply copy+paste the link that u got from the net into the textbox where u write (surround with img tags)

like this also there is a sample in first post

why its too hardd ... i dont know where are the links
I cant copy links

not hard here are stepsű:
- open google
- search "jeanne d arc"
- in results click "images"
- click on any image
- click on it again so u get transferred to site
- now on site locate the image, and right click on it (on phone long tap)
- choose "copy image url" from ucoming options
- go back to forum post
- click on image button (you get img and /img in the textbox) - paste (ctrl+V) the image link from clipboard into the middle of the two "img" tags. - submit your post.

try it.

Ok . But i will just type leave it

Does it work for screenshots too? I mean, u need a link from a website, screenshots are not on the website so...

ok, i have wrote a way about local images too on first post of this topic.

I hope this works

It looks like this
ex.

quadruple: imagelinkshould point to the imagedirectly (so right click open image in new tab - try that). your link is not an image but a page.

like this:

Like this ?

no that is also not an image link but a webage.

image links are generally end with .jpg, or .png or other image format.

Like this?@Stratego (dev)

good!

Do u see anything?
Why can't I see any external links of mine ?

no one sees it as that is not an image.

images are end with .jpg or .png or other image extensions.

try this way:



also i wrote this line into the first post as you are not the first trying to use non image links as image:

have the link to the image itself, you have a good link if on the end of the link u see a ".jpg" or ".png" or other image extensions.

oh, this is really usefull!
