It is probably simple since I see many people doing it, but I can't find how to include an image into a forum post.
Can someone please explain?
I tried clicking the image icon above and then post an external url. Does not work.
I tried just copy/paste, does not work.
In the end I just post the url. At least this provides a link to the external image, but is not very nice.

Guess you mean this link you shared?:
https://postimg.cc/HrLd18KH
That link is not a image but rather a html page
...you need to find the proper link to the image by in this case copying the link under the download button on that page and putting that in the
[ img = link]text[ / img] (without the space)... Like this

You can also add an image as an attachment and then use the “place inline” button

So in this example, what is the text you put in between the img and /img with square brackets ?
And where does the "=link" text come from, sicne that is not what I get when I press the image icon?
Do I need to upload the image to an external site first? What if I have the jpg file on my computer?

Just right-mouse-click om the image and do "Copy Link address"
Code: Select all

Hello,
You can upload the image as an attachment and use "place inline" to display it. Or, copy the image link from an external site and use the
tag. And for image compression you can use online
image compressor tool for better quality.

A bit late (after two years) but thank you anyway.
