[FORUM] How to insert pictures from external websites

[Akoa]

Hello everyone!

 

Today I'm going to make a very simple and useful guide. I'm sure that sometimes when you are trying to add a picture to a post, you upload to some websites like imgur.com prnt.sc etc etc.

If you direcly select: insert other media (the orange button)/insert image from URL, you won't be able to introduce links like: https://imgur.com/a/oCf3s https://prnt.sc/ilfujk and so on.

 

To do that, you need to follow the following steps:

1- Upload your picture to your favourite website

1.1- Clic browse

1.2- Select the picture

2- Once you have your picture uploaded right clic the image and select the last option

3- Now you will see a new popup in some part of your screen, it depens on the browser

3.1- Once you see that, you'll see a line marked in a blue color

3.2- Double clic on i.imgur.com/... it should select from // to .png

4- Now copy that link to the post/insert other media (the orange button)/insert image from URL and clic insert to post

5- Now your picture will be vissible in the post

 

This is all for today, I hope this solve much of the problems that the users have when inserting a picture in a post. Bye

Hello @Akoa;

 

Your topic is very useful. Thanks for your interest ! 

Approved.

Your way of doing things is way too complicated. Instead of doing so, people could just copy the link after they have uploaded their picture in imgur, and add .png at the end of it. Works just as fine!

Maybe it's just my browser, but when I upload to Imgur, clicking on the uploaded image gives several link options:

Spoiler

 

I just click on the Copy button next to "Direct Link", paste in the post and the image shows right away. Just tried with Screencast.com (it comes as a "Share" option with Snagit) and it's the same, once uploaded, you get a link that you can paste directly in the post, no need for complications
