Re: Image upload

Use imgur.com or some other site that lets you upload images to it.

Re: Image upload

hi chen.aavaz

Welcome to the forum.

After an update to the forum some time ago it was no longer possible to upload directly in a post.

So now I store my images on imgur.com (there are other sites where you can do something similar) and then link to it using bc code.  Here's a set if instructions I made earlier:

Re: Image upload

Hi chen.aavaz;

If for some reason you'd like to hide the image (eg, image too large for main post page, or if it's a spoiler) you can put it into a hidebox, like this:

[hyde][img]your image link[/img][/hyde]

Note: Change the 'y' in 'hyde' (both instances) to 'i' (if I'd typed 'i', then my instruction would have disappeared and become a hidebox...hence the 'trick').

Example:

The word "example" gives a name to the hidebox, and can be something you choose. If left blank, "Hidden Text" will appear in the box.

You can always learn from how others do things by clicking on the 'Quote' button in the bottom right-hand corner of their post (try it in mine).
