Arghhh... It didn't work

I pressed the "image" tab between link and quote and then entered the link: http://prntscr.com/j7ay9 but why didn't it work? Please explain! :P

Yo, HTML doesn't work in the forums. Only in Abouts, aka profiles.

We use something called BB Code in the forums. To use it, click that image button above the post-text box, then go to the image you want and do "Copy Image URL" or "Copy Image Source." Paste the URL into the box and you're done!

That is one amazing whale you have there. +1

The image does not work. Try linking to the image

And lol how did Salvidian post it but it won't work for me? :P

Very sorry for your repition lol :P But i'm getting there to understanding...

So i copy the link then how do i get to copy image url? I right clicked while on that page and didn't get that option :P

My third try :{}

I right clicked while on that page and didn't get that option :P

For posting images:
We have a button above the comment box for that, you know. Click it once, paste location into the box that shows up and Bam!, image.
For finding photo URL:
Might also be labeled as "Copy image location".

Patrick... Here is what it looks like :P

You need to right click on the image.

Ahh... Patrick i'm such a fool :P Forgive me for wasting your time but here is when i click the picture: http://prntscr.com/j7z87

The problem you experienced at first was that you tried to link a URL (web address) as an image, this doesn't work. You need to use the actual image url to have it shown, the link below:

http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/9707/63473d8167f74d0297fe155.png

Using this URL link will produce the actual intended image, like this:



Same goes for the last image you tried to post, the one with the drop down menu when right clicking:



What I believe you should click is the option to "Copy Shortcut", but that seems to be disabled somehow, I can't tell what the reason is though, sorry...

A way to circumvent this (when the option to copy the shortcut is disabled) is to click the bottom option: "Properties". When clicking this, you should get the properties of the image in question with a link to the image inside, usually ending on .jpg, .gif or .png. Select this and use it to post the image with the "Image" option here on the forums.

More information on how to use the BB Code in the forums can be found here. Hope this helps! =)
