How to link to a site image in the forum

It's very simple. All you need to do is copy the link to the image page and paste it into the text box.

You don't need to link it with the link button. All you will end up with is a link that just reads "link text." If you do it the way I described above, your comment will automatically have a thumbnail preview of each image link you pasted once you hit the "Post comment" button.

I think this should go into the markdown reference here https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/comments/mark...

Maybe... that would be Chainer's decision to make.

If it’s to an image in the gallery, then it’s preferable to link to the image’s page, otherwise you are making people do work to find the page it’s associated with.

Just for clarity, the instructions given by RoseFeni are only for offsite images. At the same time some sites will block hotlinking of images from another site’s page.

You can link to a site image by copying the direct image URL and using the forum’s image tag. Most forums use this format:

[img]exampledotcome/image.jpg[/img]

If images don’t show, you can use a normal link like this:

exampledotcome/image.jpg

Make sure the link ends with .jpg, .png, or .gif.

This is completely incorrect, [img] does nothing.

These suspiciously bot like replies (who have made their first and only post here reviving an old thread) haven't read the original post. It was How to post images in THIS forum, which was answered, not any other forums.

We are using markdown here, not bbcode. I didn’t even pay attention to RoseFeni‘s example - doh 😩

Also best when sharing examples to test them first, otherwise it’s just potentially bad information.

Yeah I agree, I got rid of them.
