A double-post from another thread, but useful info perhaps to have here where people may look for it:
If the forums are ever having trouble with uploading images, the following work-around will let you get them here with a minor bit of extra work / hassle.
I don’t think there is a good solution if you are posting from your phone, but if you are on mac/pc you can do the steps yourself that the forum would do for you in the background. It’s a bit of messing around but not too bad, and works:
- go to https://imgur.com/
- click the green “new post” in the top left
- upload your image
- once uploaded, right click the preview of your uploaded image and copy the image location
- exact wording in the right-click menu will depend on which browser you use. it’ll be something like “copy image location” or “copy link to image”
- paste that link in to your post on the forums, and surround it by
[img] … [/img]
- eg
[img]https://i.imgur.com/IM5fkp0.png[/img]:
- you can use use
width=XX or height=XX inside the first [img] tag to change the size of the image if you want to shrink it down or blow it up or whatever
- eg
[img width=80]https://i.imgur.com/IM5fkp0.png[/img]
[img height=200]https://i.imgur.com/IM5fkp0.png[/img]
