*shrug*
I will tell you that I can't see either.

[Furtuka]

Right now you have the physical links to the image, but the bbcode requires the literal image location. The one with the filename extension at the end.

[TheBiggerFish]

Please explain.

You're pointing the tag at something that didplays the image.
You need to tell it where the image actually is.

[GiglameshDespair]

Take my avatar.

The link it uses is http://i.imgur.com/JCvRNxk.gif

so if I write

Code: [Select]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/JCvRNxk.gif[/img]
I will get



The location it is stored on in the imgur servers is under JCvRNxk.gif

You're copying the URLs of the webpages the images are stored on, not the image URLs themselves.

But how do I get to the image url itself?

You need to go to the site where the image is, right click the image, select "copy image location", and put that in the tags.

[GiglameshDespair]

Right click image, copy image url?

Host the images on a image hosting service and use that?

Only host images on a hosting service if you don't have the image on the web already.

For example, right click the message icon on the post reply page, and click copy image location, like so:

you get this:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/post/xx.gif

Now just put that in [ img ] tags to get


Since you were trying to upload by a web address, I assume it's on the internet already?

I tried, and I can't figure out your image links. Try uploading the pictures to imgur instead. That should give a handy forum link.

(Also, please re-size your avatars. Your blue-ish dragon takes 6.5mb. That's a lot for someone with a data cap to use on an 80x80 avatar. And yes, it loads the entire thing, and then shinks it.)

Holy CARP I'm glad I'm on Wifi.

Also for tips--there's GIMP, or paint.net to do so .-. Please resize and use a different image hosting site for those who have trouble loading HUGE pics. T_T

That said, the image url is basically like how you got your avatar--you copy the url at the top, then paste it here:
So for example I get the 'spoiler' button from the reply bar:
I copy it and paste it here

Code: [Select]

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/spoiler.gifThen put the image tags "{img}" (Which look like on the Reply bar)

Code: [Select]

[img]http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/spoiler.gif[/img]Then you get the above

I would actually say otherwise. Unless it's already on the web at a hosting service or a website you own, anyway. Prevents leeching bandwidth and ensures that you can keep access to the image if the third party source goes down or changes it.

Spoiler: HANDBONES (click to show/hide)

Methinks you drawing those tiny bones which make up the palm area would help a lot. ;3 Each one is important (though the carpals are of little importance within general art--it will help fine drawing and anatomical works).

I'm trying to remember the general shape of the important parts first. :x
