Not a question but a guide on how to post images here in the forums. Dunno where to post this really, if in here or in General Discussion or Off Topic or somewhere else. Mods pls. just move it in the appropriate section, I just thought that it's about helping other players although it isn't game related at all. 😕
I've been browsing the contest section and many people are clueless on how to post an image instead of the link to their image, so hopefully this thread will help anyone that wants to post an image in the forums be it for contests, for screenshots or just some art you wanna share to everyone. 1. First, you need to upload your image somewhere. A quick google search for "image uploading site" should give you a lot of result but here are some sites you can try:
(these sites don't require you to make an account to upload, so they are ideal when you just want to upload something quick, like for bug report screenshot or something)
• imgur
• imgbb
• pasteboard 2. After you upload your image, you can just copy the image and paste it in the forums. 3. If that didn't work, you can right click the image and select "copy image address" and paste it in the forums. Some image uploading sites give you the image URL right away.
An image URL is something that ends with .jpg or .png or .gif
This is an image URL https://i.imgur.com/4xW0RsP.jpg
This is not an image URL https://imgur.com/a/0weGbbC 4. AND VOILA! Your image should now show up in your post instead of a link to the image!
Side note: There is a lengthy version that is on another person's quote lol. You can try that if for some reason your image just don't wanna show up or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
