Adding an image:

Code: Select all

[img]https://eu1.factorio.com/assets/img/factorio-logo.png[/img]

Adding an image with url:

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.factorio.com][img]https://eu1.factorio.com/assets/img/factorio-logo.png[/img][/url]

You can also use the spoiler tag to collapse bigger images (you'll need to add a spoiler name):

Code: Select all

[spoiler=Factorio Logo][img]https://eu1.factorio.com/assets/img/factorio-logo.png[/img][/spoiler]

Factorio Logo

Also make sure you link directly to the image (.jpg, .png) and not the website hosting it.

Also note that you can "attach" an image to the post ("Upload Attachment"), and then you can include that in the post too.... (after attaching it, press the "Place inline" button) for example, like this:

Attached

ScreenShot.png (13.74 KiB) Viewed 2411 times

This is also the preferred way. Cause other sources tend to remove the pictures...

For image hosting, Google Drive is one of my options. It is very easy to manage albums. Just create a folder and drag images into it.

To display the uploaded image on forums, first enable sharable link. Then use the following format:

Code: Select all

[img]https://docs.google.com/uc?id=FILE-ID[/img]

e.g. if the sharable link is

Code: Select all

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9Y5PCxYjiKwbFVndkd5anlSbkE

Then, you should use the following to display it on forums:

Code: Select all

[img]https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B9Y5PCxYjiKwbFVndkd5anlSbkE[/img]

Let's say now you want to update the image, just go to Google Drive, right click the image, Manage Versions, Upload new version. No need to update the link on forums.

Note: but gif cannot be displayed by using this method. I don't know why.

Another host can be the Mod Portal, if you are making mods and can bare its unstableness.
