Better way to post/embed images into the forum

I've seen a lot of links badly done for images posted,

(for some reason this forums way of posting pics is just terrible, too small and has a restricted amount that can be posted)

so I thought I’d make this quick post to show an easier more effective way

Make an account with Imgur.com (it’s free widely used), upload your images to there, and then COPY the link it creates

then on this forum when your making a post, do the following.......

Don’t use the normal image posting icon -

Use the one next to it -

this will popup

and paste the link from Imgur into there and click OK

in your post you will see something like this

[ URL=https://i.imgur.com/YOURIMAGELINK.png]https://i.imgur.com/YOURIMAGELINK.png[ /URL]

At the 2nd HTTP, you'll need to add 3 parts [ img] [ /img] and the letter t

so it looks like this

[ URL=https://i.imgur.com/YOURIMAGELINK.png][ img]https://i.imgur.com/YOURIMAGELINKt.png[/ img][ /URL]

notice the t

(make sure theres no spaces in the img and URL parts, otherwise it wouldn't work)

It’ll create a thumbnail of your image and when clicked on opens up the full size

and shows like this on the forum



no resizing needed to be done

Various other options are

s = Small Square (90×90)

b = Big Square (160×160)

t = Small Thumbnail (160×160)

m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)

l = Large Thumbnail (640×640)

h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)
