Adding image to a post

[ignitiondefect]

How do you add an image to your post? When I click the image icon it just inserts . So I've pasted a bunch or website URLs that have images (like http://imgur.com/gallery/XkaQi) and I tried pasting images from my desktop like (coin_export.png). Nothing seems to work. Please help a tech illiterate figure this out?

You should get the image URL that most of the time finishes with extension of the file .JPG .PNG .GIF . In the link you posted , you should right click on the image and get the real image url. In most cases with imgur , the image link is the same , you should only add .jpg or .png at the end unless It's a gallery like in your link.

You need a direct image link (ie: with the extension. Imgur.com/cock.png)

When you upload your coin_export.png, you need to get the direct link. I think it's at the bottom of the page with all the hyperlinks and stuff.

I have the same troubles
For example link to the image on reddit - https://i.redd.it/9h6cqme882cy.jpg

I try to use it with tag   [ img ].
In this message I see the link, not the image:
https://i.redd.it/9h6cqme882cy.jpg

How to fix it?

How to fix it?

You're still a newbie so you can't post a photo. Make it to atleast a jr. rank.

Thanks but how do I get the direct imgur image url?

Thanks but how do I get the direct imgur image url?

Some time ago it was possible to get the direct link to an image on imgur by simply clicking a button.

Now you can right-click on the image and open it in a new tab. This way you gain access to the image's direct URL.

Alternatively, you can right-click on the image => "Copy Image Address".

Thanks but I'm on a Mac and I don't think you can right click.

I'm on a Mac too and I can assure you that you can right click . Regardless of what kind of Mac you're using, be it a newer model or a dusty old Macintosh, holding down the control key on the keyboard and pressing your primary mouse or trackpad button opens up the menu you're looking for. Also, if you're using a Trackpad and would like to have alternative means to right-click, open your System Preferences and head over to "Trackpad" -- I use "Secondary click in the bottom right corner" on the Trackpad of my MBP. If you're using a regular mouse you can just right-click as usual.

In google chrome get image address by right click or in mozilla firefox you can get by view image and in safari you will get by copy link and use it between image tag

Pretty sure you can right click on your mac. Hope you figured that out =D

You should find a link that should ends with ".jpg" ".bmp", etc. It's an easier way to insert images to your topics or posts

It seems that newbies cannot post images
