Pictures Inserting in the dispatches

[Canvalland]

Folks, How can I insert pictures in my dispatches?

[Tocan Isle]

Get the url of the image, then put it in between [img]s.

like this:

Code: Select all

[img]PUT YOUR IMAGE URL HERE[/img]

Get the url of the image, then put it in between [img]s.

like this:

Code: Select all

([url=PUT YOUR IMAGE URL HERE]Image[/url])

So I can only insert the online images?

Yes, but image hosting websites like imgur allow you to upload your pictures for free.

The problem with Imgur, however, is that it almost always requires you to watch an ad before it actually uploads.

Nevertheless, Imgur is still a reliable image host and you can even do some basic editing if memory serves.

Huh? It doesn't for me.

There are other image hosts than imgur which work well.

If you're still looking for more info on image hosts, I personally use imgbb.com - it's fast and free, and if you make an account the images stay put for ever. Plus their website can insert the [img] tags for you, which cuts out a bit of the work.

the images stay put for ever.

Don't count on it. Other image hosts like PhotoBucket started that way and ended up charging for storage. Keep backups elsewhere.

That's true. Always keep orderly local backups of your factbook/dispatch images.
