How to insert a screen shot on posts on this forum?

Post by johnnywicca » Fri Jan 24, 2020 8:46 am

Hi. May be stupid question, but how do I insert a screenshot on these posts? I've tried dragging it in. I get a + icon and then the screen goes black. I've tried hitting the Insert Image button but that just inserts the text <image> ???

You need to use a picture hosting service.

Yeah, this forum is right out of 1992 and doesn't host images.

You need to take your screen shot, save it then upload it somewhere like here:

https://imgbb.com/

Then when it has uploaded, click on it to display it in a page then right-click the image and choose "copy image location"

On the forums you want to click the image insert button in the toolbar then paste the image within it:

Code: Select all

1992 was so good, grunge was huge!

Cheers. That's disappointing.
