Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So I have this issue about posting images. I have literally thousands to share but I can't seem to find a way to post them on the forum. I click on "my media" but i can't do anything from there. Maybe I missed something at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The extentions i know work are .JPG .PNG and .GIF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You also need to upload the image to somewhere. Try puush or imgur, both work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Oh ! Thanks for the neat explanation ! So the picture must first be uploaded ? That's what is was wondering about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It needs to be uploaded on an image sharing website like imgur.com Then you use that URL and paste it on that box i showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Okay, Thanks to both of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I made a thorough and awesome explanation on how imgur works. I hope it helps. There is specific software for this kind of quick image uploading like Lightshot (The one i use) Puush Gyazo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Wow ! mush skill ! such paint ! I had it figured out from there but still thanks, perhaps that'll help people having the same trouble. And thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This thread actually made me wonder the "My media" function supposedly allows you to use previously uploaded attachments without needing to upload them again but I have no clue how to attach things When i go to "Manage Attachments" on my settings there literally isn't any option to do anything. I'd like an explanation on how this works . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Right ? I was wondering about that too, but i couldn't found a topic or a QnA about it. It would be quite convienient if images could be uplaoded directly on the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Uhm.. I don't know about that because of NSFW stuff. Sure most users have common sense but it's still a risk. The forum rules state "No Pornography of any kind" hosted on the forums. I was just wondering how to actually use the attachments setting though. If it's there it should be useable.

Luch Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Need to use the full editor to attach files (more reply options). Attached image: Attached txt file: attachment.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 for uploading images you should use LuchXtory, best software xD Luch, you should share it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Generally only moderators and Admins are given upload access to the forums. That's why those media functions don't work for you. That decision came ~a year ago when either Aaeru and I or Ryoji and I were worried about blanket upload permissions. While I know it's a pain to have to host images off-site, it's meant as a preventative measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Oh i don't have an issue with using hosting sites and understand the concerns too. But if it's like that then it might be easier to just remove this feature or make it "invisible" for other users besides mods and admins since we can't use it any way. At least we don't have to wonder what to do with it this way. Just a random thought though if you don't take it it'll still be the same.

MellowMadman11 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 On the subject, how do I put a video in my post and not just a link to the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 On the subject, how do I put a video in my post and not just a link to the video? Use the media code [ media] video url [ /media] with no spaces I know it works with youtube. I never tried with other video sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
