Pictures?

Okie dokie. How do you add a picture to your message? All I see is an option to use a picture from a url. You gotta put your screenshot on a website in order to show it here?

Yes you need to use 3rd part web sites like https://imgur.com/
Then link you image or use embeded code.

In certain forums like the bug report one, you can upload images straught from your computer.

Otherwise, you have to have the URL. This is obtained by uploading it to an image sharing website and then copy-pasting the image url.

There's a workaround if you don't want to upload. Start a draft message on one of the forums that allows you to upload images directly. Upload your image, and copy the image link that your draft will generate - do not post that draft thread. Then, paste the image link into your intended thread.

The link looks something like this (with square brackets, obviously): {img}https://us.v-cdn.net/5020507/uploads/editor/74/p431qvf0i9ec.png {/img}


That's how I posted my Murkmire Forum Bingo screenshot without uploading it to another site. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/441706/murkmire-forum-bingo

Just right click the image and copy the webaddress, then type

[ img ] INSERT LINK HERE [ br ] with no spaces




It gives you a smooth picture with no links or code

You do you need a third party hosting site to be able to post your own picture. Without that you don’t have a web address for your image

But you do need a third party website or your own personal website lol.....you're just using the URL from someone elses website.

Now that I think about it, you are right. I don't use imgur though. I use Gyazo to take the screenshots, I then copy the adress from Microsoft Edge where it appears with Gyazo and I copy it to a Chrome browser where I can copy the web address. A lot easier than imgur imo. And thanks for not put something childish like "lol" in your reply. That just mocking the person for being wrong, and intentionally making them look like an idiot. So thanks.
Also that other person who did that is now blocked.
For anyone reading this, be nice to your fellow community members
