Forum: How to attach images as links

Post by Stratego (dev) »

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:
Image


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:

Code: Select all


[img]<link>[/img]
example:

Code: Select all


[img]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oIAhQMTG-dU/S7tDniF--sI/AAAAAAAAD1Y/4eI90kWS8o0/s640/history-in-pictures-joan-of-arc-incredibleimages-006.jpg[/img]
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"

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:

Code: Select all

[img]https://www.history.com/.image/ar_1:1%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1200/MTU3ODc5MDg2OTY2ODQzMTAz/joan_of_arc.jpg[/img]

no one sees it as that is not an image.

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

try this way:

Code: Select all

[img]https://image.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/red-dragon-portrait-digital-painting-600w-1543370009.jpg[/img]

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.
