How do I post images in the forum?

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago by aeluromancy

I can't seem to figure out how to post images in forum threads! This is what I see when I make a thread, and there's no indicator for what I click to post an image. https://i.postimg.cc/PJYN4SNb/Screen-Shot-2021-09-14-at-5-36-59-PM.png

If you want to post an image within the description, make sure you have WYSIWYG and input the image link into the image button on top.

What is WSIWYG? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this website

Applejack

it stands for What You See Is What You Get! You can find it below the bump button in the text box forum post. its a setting that allows you to mess with HTML and CSS coding for characters and user profiles

i hope that makes sense ;v;

You have to have a link to an image, insert it with either the Insert Image button on WYSIWYG:
unknown.png

or if you don't have that toggled on, you'll need to use HTML: <img src="URL">

For either of them, you have to insert the direct link to the image, not the webpage the link is on. It must end in .jpg, .png, or .gif. Pasting "https://toyhou.se/440245.-perpsona#9229709" or "https://imgur.com/lIejaVR" will not work, but "https://file.toyhou.se/images/9229709_PoyQk8XXh98AkoO.png?1546549195" (the ? here refers to the watermark and is ok, as toyhouse knows what this means) or "https://i.imgur.com/lIejaVR.png" will be fine, and will show up properly. You can get this direct link by right clicking on any image and selecting "copy image address" (on chrome) or some similar phrase (on others).

Use a permanent host like imgur, discord, or imgbb, and not stash, furaffinity, froala, any apps, or "local" locations. If your image appears for a few hours or days and disappears afterward, the host is temporary to prevent hotlinking.
