BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Here is step-by-step what you need to do: 1. Upload the image to https://imgur.com/ 2. Right-click on your uploaded image and choose "Copy image address" 3. In your forum-post click the image symbol and past the address The forum only works with links of images. The normal imgur link is to imgur's website, not to the image. You can check if you got the correct link by looking at the ending. Example: https://i.imgur.com/OijXd3k.jpg ends with ".jpg". A direct link of an image always ends with the file identifier. Good luck.

Make sure it ends with .jpg when you post the link. On imgur, that means right clicking on image and then choosing "open image in new tab", or "view image" or something like that. Then it opens just the image, not the imgur link. That is what you post in the IMG thing in forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 When I paste the imgur link into a browser first, I cut the the bracketed bits off the beginning and end then paste it into the forums image section or it never works So - upload to imgur - Select option for forums link - Paste into a separate browser tab - Remove the bracketed ends - Paste into gw2 forums in the image link in your posts formatting options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apology. I just wanted to point out that it is complicating things as it includes additional steps that can be prevented by simply pasting the image link into the "Insert image" field here on the forum. It then creates a working image all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
