The issue is resolved, and the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers are now available. Thank you for your patience!
We are currently investigating issues some players are having on the megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Why does uploading images to the forum not properly work?

So in theory you can upload images via drag and drop or via third party services like imgur.com. In reality drag and drop basically never works and most external links can't be properly embedded.
Would be great if this could be fixed at some point.

    I wonder if some sites are blocked by the forum software.

    I can never seem to load images from my OneDrive account. I've tried the tool (which doesn't form the URL in the post) and manually adding it, but a preview doesn't load the image.

    All I wanted to do was show off my characters. :disappointed:

    No, I've been using this name for years before starting with ESO. But my @-Name is actually KingFakeFox, cause FakeFox was taken. :D

    Hi everyone,

    I have a question about Alcast DK build.

    Please view the image below:

    <img src="https://ibb.co/TR0hLf5&quot; alt="JustAnExample.JPG" />

    I don't have maelstrom bow. Should I use Lokkestiiz bow or Agility bow?

    Thank you

    Any time I want to include a pic or even a weblink - I generally have to edit it a few times to get it to show.

    The unnerving part is that it rarely seems to work the same way twice in a row.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    Yeah it's really annoying. On PC you can work around it but if you want to link a picture from smartphone... good luck doing that. I tried it a lot of times and it never, never worked.

    Check that your links actually point to an image file (.jpg, .gif, etc.) and are not one of those jumbled short links sites like Imgur create for sharing.

    Upload pic to your account

    Select the pic you want to put on forums

    Click Copy on Direct Link

    Go to forums, click the image icon

    Paste image url into the box

    Done

    get the sharable link from google photos after you upload it then do a web search in the link above to get the imbed code. copy the direct link address and then copy it to your post

    then in front of the copied link type img in these brackets [ ]

    and after the link type /img in the same brackets [ ]

    I couldn't upload via the "add image" thingy but if you simply put the link between [img][/img] it works! At least it worked for me !
