@SurrealEdge You don't have to do the img thing anymore now. As long as you paste the direct image link, so it ends in .whatever the file is, the forums automatically turn it into an image now. 

 

But yes you need to upload to an external site, then paste a direct link here.

I've seen recent posts that kept the images as links, but that could just be the hosting site.

You have to upload it to a host site such as imgur then copy the link to it here using the tags [img.]examplesite[/img.] without the '.'.

You can choose to put it as a link or an image when it gets posted. It'll autochange it then you can click a little thing that turns it back to a link. As long as it's a direct link to the image and not to the page of the image it seems to change it.
