Re: Inserting an Image
Imgur threw a spanner in the works in mid May when it started deleting non-account images ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imgur
I had missed the announcement in April and subsequently found that a lot of my images (which I had stored as browser bookmarks) were coming up as 404 errors when I checked them in early June. I then created a (free) account and transferred the minority of still-intact images to that. Fortunately I had kept all the JPGs on my PC, so rebuilding is mainly just a big nuisance (along with posted images disappearing).
But then in the last few weeks I have noticed that all of the 404 errors for my original non-account images are back to showing my original images. In any case I'm now moving them across to the account too, just in case they disappear again.

Re: Inserting an Image
The profile picture is extra tricky as the file needs to be really really small. Like ridiculously small. And a rather small resolution too.Cico_Jag93 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 6:47 amHi, I'm new here on the OSG forum. I didn't quite understand how to post an image.

I needed a few attempts and photoshop to make it work.
Besides the profile pic - have you managed to post pictures already?

Re: Inserting an Image
I noticed that the image must be very small in fact I wasn't able to change it, I wasn't even able to post images in a thared or in a discussion.MayTheFuzzBeWithYou wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:54 pmThe profile picture is extra tricky as the file needs to be really really small.

Do you have a photo hosting site account (imgur, imgbb,…)? When you have one like these there should be a „sharing option“ - you‘ll need the BBCode. That should be copy&paste able to a post.

Re: Inserting an Image
The fact this thread is 12 pages long is insane. The question got answered over 10 years ago.
Can no one read?

Re: Inserting an Image
I could post images with photobucket relatively easy now with imgur seems impossible

Re: Inserting an Image
You need a URL image link with .jpg on the end. In imgur you click on DIrect Link on the image display screen to copy that link. Or you can just right-click on the image and select Copy Image Link (that's for Firefox in Windows).

In this case, it’s what you posted with an i. at the front and .jpeg at the end: https://i.imgur.com/o6yPCqJ.jpeg
