This may be a silly question but how do you make a post with pictures where the pictures just appear in the post? I normally use imgur but I’m going to be making a post soon with a TON of stuff and I’d like to make it where you don’t have to click a link to see the photo I’m referencing for each group of games. I normally use my phone but would it be easier to use my laptop? Any tips will be highly appreciated!

Laptop is probably easier.

imgur is a good way to host pictures to post here. Once you have the pictures on imgur, right click it then select "copy image address" (I'm using Chrome, another browser may word this differently). You want the URL to just the image, not the page that the image is on. The URL will likely end in .png or .jpg (or some other image file extension). Once you have that paste that URL between {img} tags and it should display inline here. Don't worry about the height/width, gtz will scale it for you and add those later.

Awesome! Thanks. That’s super helpful. I didn’t want to start my post before finding out this info so I’ll be able to get it done this weekend. I appreciate it

For anyone who might find this to be helpful, here's a way to do it:

1: Post a picture on a hosting website (such as imgur)

2: click or press on the photo in that website and click on "copy url," or something like "copy for forums," etc.

3: on this forum, type two sets of squiggly brackets, with no spaces: {}{}

4: inside each set of brackets, type img, again no spaces

5: paste the url of the photo you uploaded in between both sets of brackets {}{}

Voila! Your picture will appear directly here.

Here's a picture of what it will look like. It uses the method above that I mentioned :)

(I made up what it says in there. No idea if that leads anywhere. Does that lead anywhere? Who knows smile. I really have no clue.)

You don't need to do it in that order. You can simply type the open bracket, followed by img, followed by the image url, followed by the brackets again. I just broke it down like that.

(Perhaps it makes no difference if you make spaces or not, but I didn't test that. I know for sure that it works without spaces)

Often -for me- it adds an unnecessary space between the tag and address and won’t display correctly unless you delete it.
