Here's How You Post Images

Jake Parker · 1 Jul 2015, 20:23

Make sure your image is hosted on your own website, deviant art, flickr, blogger, tumblr, instagram...any thing where your image will have it's own url address.
Copy your url address, for example, I'm going to use one of mine that's hosted on my website:

http://media.virbcdn.com/cdn_images/resize_1024x1024/a5/6cee696cc7f433e3-3969709676_4357990f43_o.jpg

Then type this: ![]( and put your image's url here )

And that's it! This is what it looks like:

Hey @lee-white so you've got two problems. The image from flickr needs to have a .jpg at the end of the url and it can't be a private image. When I click on the link I can't see it unless I'm logged into flickr for some reason.

Also, make sure there's no space between the [] and the ()

Oh, and I enabled the ability to upload an image, but I'm not sure how it works yet. I need to test it out.

Ok, image upload is working. There's a little box with an arrow that you click on, then you pick your file and it automatically posts it. Like so:

Does the system allow users to upload images from a computer?

@Ferdinand-Landry Yes, just click the upload icon when posting your image. Looks like a little hardrive box with an "up" arrow on it.
