Can you post images on dispatches from your computer files? And if so, how?

[The United Providences of Perland]

You must put them through an image posting service (https://imgur.com/ is a common one), then copy and paste the BBC code.

You can’t. The images need to have a url. You can use image hosting sites like imgur if you want to use images in your dispatches and factbooks.

[Lillorainen]

Search for an image hoster (e.g. https://imgur.com/), upload it there, right-click the image, select 'copy image URL' (or whatever it says in the language you use) and paste it between [ img] (without space) and [/img].

when i do the [img] thing, it works, but doesn't display properly.

Assuming you have the usual issue, you need to use the image's URL itself. For example, if you wanted to put in this image of an adorable Halloween bat kitty, you'd have to open the image in a new tab with a right click & then get the pure image, without the page.

This would be incorrect formatting. The URL inside the img BBcode links to the image's page itself. Attempting to input it will tell you to verify the URL.

Code: Select all

So is this okay?: ' https://dtvcrc.co.uk/files/2015-07/dtvcrc-map.png '; this is the photograph I'm wanting to use. (with the img and /img brackets of course).

The outcome would look like this:

Perfectly fine.
