Easy image posting on Disco forum - evanz - 04-15-2018

I've seen a lot of links badly done for images posted, so I thought I’d make this quick post to show an easier more effective way

Make an account with Imgur.com (it’s free widely used)

Don’t use the normal image linking icon - [Image: EtKqKUA.jpg]

Use the one next to it - [Image: O8SWCGZ.jpg]

Copy both “addresses” into it and click insert

[Image: wkQDbB5.jpg]

Then change the line you see e.g.

[ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg]https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg[/url]

The 1st part is [ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg] as normal

But change the 2nd adding [img] and [/img] and a “t”

So it looks like this

[ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg][ img]https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhPt.jpg[/img][/url]

Notice the “t” when posting it tells the forum that you’re posting a thumbnail of the image that links to the full size.

remove the spaces in the [ img] parts, ive had to add them here, so it shows as text

It will show like this on the forum

[Image: mXeCqhPt.jpg]

So whatever image you’re posting just before the .jpg or .png etc add a t

It’ll create a thumbnail of your image and when clicked on opens up the full size

Various other options are

s = Small Square (90×90)
b = Big Square (160×160)
t = Small Thumbnail (160×160)
m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640×640)
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)

This tip is best really for when putting images in posts that are for example when showing meetings or contracts or similar type posts e.g. HERE, for banners and avatars use the usual methods (i.e. resize your images before uploading to a hosting site, so they fit as per the posting regulations

or you could do this IMAGE LINK MAKER

thanks

but we have imgw for this

RE: Easy image posting on Disco forum - evanz - 04-15-2018

does it link to the full size image?

RE: Easy image posting on Disco forum - Corile - 04-15-2018

if you right click -> view image in new tab then yes

RE: Easy image posting on Disco forum - evanz - 04-15-2018

which is a reason for my post, no need to "right click > view image", just click and it opens up, also it opens up without the bad pages of adverts that other websites show etc etc, you know what i mean

But that's not done by the thumbnail thing, it's done by the [url] tags.

RE: Easy image posting on Disco forum - Skorak - 04-15-2018

Code:
[url=IMAGELINK][imgw]IMAGELING[/imgw][/url]

Is the solution in which you never exceed the forum rule limit.

thats the reason why i made the post, it doesnt exceed the limit because its not posted on the forum, its a link to the full size image

RE: Easy image posting on Disco forum - Thyrzul - 04-15-2018

[url] tags attach a link to whatever is between them. If it's text, they attach a link to that text, if it's an image, like in your example, they attach a link to that image.

EDIT: Perhaps this would also be a bit helpful for you to understand what [url] actually does: https://discoverygc.com/forums/misc.php?action=help&hid=7
