Help with forum post [Solved]

Sorin81

Greetings all,

I am relatively new to this forum and honestly forums in general. This is the one and only forum I have ever used. I have replied to a few post and have learned a bit on my own but I am having trouble figuring some things out. In particular I am having problems with adding screenshots or images to post. Can someone please point me to a tutorial. Any help would be great.

If you click on the "picture" icon underneath the "subject" box, it will insert the shortcode "url" in brackets, between which you can insert a picture's URL, like html, and it will display it in the post. You will have to host the pictures on another site, such as Imgur.com.

I'm assuming the same would have to be done with screenshots?

Yes, you have to host them on a third-party website (google 'free image hosting' or use imgur) and input the url it gives you between IMG tags to look like that:



If you click on the little quotation marks on top of people's posts that allow you to reply with a quote, you can see what tags specifically they used to do something. So you can go to my posts in the Planeswalkers subforum for example, click on 'quote' and see how I embedded the screenshots
