Please enable the image upload feature on the forum

Right nwo its extremely difficult to link external images. Many modern image host sites (such as imgur) don't have file extensions on the end and the forum won't parse these links as images.

The forum has a built in image upload feature that is available to the admins/moderators but not to regular users. Can you please consider turning this on? Keep the size limit low if you must but this is a fairly small forum and it really shouldn't be a problem for SE.

Not true. I use imgur to link to images directly on here.

I understand your point though, seeing as the forum gives you the ability to link to an external image anyway.

It literally never works for me.

If I use the image button on the toolbar and paste the url in, it doesn't work.

If I use the IMG tags, it doesn't work.

If I paste the link, it's just a link.

You need to load that page, right click on the image itself and select "Copy image url"..

For Chrome, copy image address.

I think my browser is messed up. Both the "copy link" button that appears when you first post to imgur and the right click > copy image location are not working (i.e. it doesnt actually get copied to clipboard.)


I really don't want to use chrome but firefox is really starting to suck these days....

I use Chrome all the time. It keeps all my bookmarks, drive, email, and many more. What sucks more is that is eating more RAM. I guess it's for to keep my computer more secured for a reason.

That's the principal reason I don't use it, FF uses a lot less resources, particularly when you disable all the dumb stuff they keep trying to get you to use.

But FF also just really doesn't like Google's products, google sheets/docs/etc behave oddly in it and a lot of functions can't be selected with the mouse- I have to use the keyboard or it just doesn't do anything.
