Posting images etc
November 7, 2021 at 6:45 pm
Now Lady did tell me how to do this, but I lost her post. Seemed a bit complicated, from memory. That's why I've put off learning how to do it.

I'd really like to know how to post images from say Google photos and Google images. Also Youtube so it shows as an image and not just a link. Wiki showing an introduction to the topic.

Yes, I know it's also to ask, but I will appreciate the info. Perhaps simplify/ dumb it down a notch or two.

You have to host pics somewhere. I use imgur. You join for free, and copy the pic (it'll go as a url) and paste in your "reply" window. Upload the images from your computer, first.

As for youtube, when you have the "reply" window open, click on the chunk of filmstrip next to the emoji with the shit-eating smile, and scroll down to youtube. Paste the url in there. Be sure to scroll down to youtube. There are many choices for video hosts.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

AH. Your images are stored in the cloud?  Any way to use Google photos? 


It works! Thank you.

I just copy them to postimages.org and use the "Thumbnail for Forums" function

Code:

Is my photo not showing up? Because it looks perfectly fine from where I am.

Maybe try copy-pasting the line of code, and here's me trying it:

Images is easy if you don't want fancy. Just wrap image tags around your photo's url lie so:

{img}Your URL here{/img}

Albeit bang in square brackets instead of the squiggly ones.
