How to add image to post?

Hi how do I add an image of my screenshot to my post? Instead of just posting the imgur link? Sorry if this is not the place to post this. I've been trying to figure it out but not luck yet. Thanks in advance!

Put the link to the fullscreen/page view of your image from imgur, imgbb, etc inbetween [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] (no spaces) tags.

Re: How to add image to post?

I see you trying to add your image in the Screenshots thread.

You first need to right click on the image and open in a new tab, so you can get the proper URL to the image. The URL you're pointing to needs to end with an image format ending (.png, .jpeg, etc.)

Here's the URL for one of them: https://i.imgur.com/AbBG8cT.png

You deleted the post before I could grab the other.

Sorry I'm trying to figure it out. When I right clicked on the image, it didn't give me the option to open in a new tab. Ok I made another post but it's still just showing the imgur links but the files do end in .png

The present post just need url changed to img in both places.

If you post the other link, I can give you the proper URL for that image as well.

EDIT: You're almost there. But the images are HUGE!

If you want to figure this out on your own, ignore the rest of this post.

Here's your present post as of 2 minutes ago:

MX Linux 19.2 Patito Feo Xfce 4.14

Change it to this:

I only saw them with the spaces still in the tags: [ i m g ] [ / i m g ]

Those spaces needed to be removed and it should have worked fine.
