Title: Can't post pictures
Post by: OutofBreath on August 03, 2016, 12:02:28 am
I can't post any pictures! I put the link between [ img](link)[/ img] and I tried links with postimg.org and tinypic.com, but it doesn't work!
Any help please?  ;)

Well, I know that tinypic no longer works here on this site, so try using other photo uploading sites. Imgur is really good.

Yeah tinypic is no longer supported on this site.

imgur, photobucket, anything else but tinypic is supported. XD

Are you making sure the links are all there and you aren't missing any letters or numbers?

If it yet still doesn't work, try Photobucket. I use it all the time. It works fantasticly.. (IJustMadeaNewWord)

Could you perhaps post a direct link to the picture you're trying to post, or otherwise what the exact code you're trying to post is? (Just put it within [ code ] [ / code ])

And perhaps you're just linking to the website instead of the image itself.

It seems like Imgur is not working for me too. I'd suggest you to try Postimage: https://postimage.org/ (https://postimage.org/)

When your image is uploaded, copy the second link (Direct Link) and see if it works.

This.
Also, to add on, if you are using chrome, make sure you do "Copy Image Adress" instead of "Copy Image."

Seems to work for me...

Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/0MHQyXP.jpg[/img]
All links to the actual images will end in their format (.png/.jpg/.gif)

On most browsers, you can right click the image and either Copy Location or Copy URL.
Alternatively, you can open the raw image in a new tab and use that URL, either by right clicking the image, or dragging the image into a new tab at the top.

Hmm, I tried what you said, Pheonixfree, but it still doesn't work when I tried with a different image

so the link was like this [ img]picturelink.jpg[/ img]

is that right?

The image must be [ img ]https://www.IMAGE LINK NAME THING.png/.jpg/.gif (basically the format as mentioned by Phlox)[ /img ] (Obviously no spaces in the img /img coding)

Rather like how my signature is here:

Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/ejZHKNU.jpg[/img]
I used imgur in case you are wondering. I trust this site the most more than any other I know.

I do hope this answers and solves your question, dear. You seem to be in quite the pickle!

This is so weird
I did exactly what Bawfle did, and it didn't work for my own picture
but when I copy and pasted her link it worked just fine
http://imgur.com/a/UN0hk
[ img]^that link[/ img]

then I tried editing the link to
http://i.imgur.com/a/UN0hk.jpg
and it still doesn't work
Title: Re: Can't post pictures

The code for that would be

Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/uUOPX2m.jpg[/img]
Which becomes this:

You need to make sure you right click the image and select "copy image location" then paste it between the image coding, honey!

Try again with what I just said and see if it works for you.
