If I click the "insert image" icon while I'm writing a post, that inserts "img" and "/img" in square brackets into the post... but that doesn't accomplish much - how do I actually get an image into a post?
You have actually not reached the rank to be able to post images, but since you asked about the way of posting an image, so I'll guide you through this.
So you basically cannot post images directly from your device's directory into a post in this forum (or any similar forum). So you need to post images from the web, means you will need the link of an image you want to include in your post. If you have an image in your device and you want to post it, you will first need to upload in into a website like
Imgur and then take the link from there. Ok, so let's learn how to do it:
First of all, you will need to go to
https://imgur.com/ and upload the image there that you want to post.
Then you will click on "insert image" icon, and you get these tags:
Then, you will copy and paste the link of your image from
Imgur in between those tags, like this:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4aa0MOY.jpg[/img]
Now when you post it, it will show your image in your post (if your rank allows that) like how I did it below.
