Posting a picture / image on this forum

[EveK]

It looks like the image you want to post needs to be uploaded to a web server; you cannot upload it directly from your computer to the forums. So if the "character card" you speak of is a file on your own computer, you'll need to upload it somewhere first. If it's already online somewhere, then giving us the URL will be a good start.

You can also use the Lodestone's blog feature to upload an image that you can then use on the forums:

I uploaded it first on a website called hosting pics (which is french) and copy-pasted the link in order to post the picture. But to make things easier I uploaded on imgur, here's the link : https://imgur.com/a/LsRlk

But I'll try the blog features. I've been playing the game for 2 years but I'm not very familiar with the forum and the blog yet.

Anyway thank you for your help



EDIT : Using the blog features helped me greatly. Thank you again for you help !

You can display the image directly to the forums by using the "direct link" inside of IMG tags instead of URL tags.

When displaying a particularly large image (a full screen capture, for example) some people like to use HB tags (hide box) to hide it (also useful for spoilers).

like so:

But that's the thing. When I try to use the IMG tags with the link from imgur (or from other websites) it doesn't work. But when I use it with the link from the lodestone blog...it works.

I guess I'll have to use the draft I created in my blog from now on.

Thank you for your help

From Imgur, use the "Direct link" instead of the image link. It's of the form http://i.imgur.com/FILE.png instead of http://imgur.com/FILE

Found it. I never knew about it. Again, thank you very much . Hope you have a nice day !

Aww, he's very cute! I love how the tiny Nanamo is sitting on his shoulder while he pours over his tome.
