[Q:Forum] How to embed images inline, in posts?

[peter_h]

I'm trying to learn how to skin MM2024, and I think I'm gonna have quite a few questions to post on the forums here. What would help, I think, is the ability to embed my screenshots, in-line with my posts, to help explain my situations.

However, using the [Insert Image] button on the toolbar in the "New Topic" form, just results in this:



Here's the code that I'm inserting:

Code: Select all

[img]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Execfsdj1haSYCZRXELfiGbQEoIQaf2y[/img]

I can insert the link to the image inside URL tags, but navigating out of the forums isn't ideal. Here's a URL link of the same image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Execfs ... QEoIQaf2y/

It's a google drive link, so has no .png or .jpg extension. Is that the problem? Can I get around this?

I have seen other posts here in the forums that show images inline, so I know it can be done.

Thanks, in advance, for your tips!

Hi,
I use account https://www.imgbb.com/ for Forum Image storage and it has formatting for PHPBB to just paste on post.

Most sites don't allow hotlinking, in that case like Google Drive your only option is using a link instead of image.
