To source and post an image in a forum, you'll typically use an HTML <img> tag. You need to find the image's URL and then insert that URL into the src attribute of the <img> tag.
Here's how:
1. Find the image's URL:
If you're using a photo-sharing site, the URL is usually available in the share options, often under "Embed," "Embed Code," or similar.
If it's a local image, you'll need its file path.
For screenshots, websites like Steam might have a direct link to the uploaded image.
You can also copy the URL directly from the image within your browser.
2. Create the <img> tag:
The basic structure is: <img src="your_image_url_here" alt="description_of_image">.
Replace "your_image_url_here" with the actual URL you found.
The alt attribute provides alternative text for the image if it cannot be displayed.
3. Post the code:
Most forums allow HTML, so you can paste the <img> tag directly into your forum post.
If the forum uses Markdown, you might need to use the Markdown syntax for images (e.g., `!description_of_image.
Example:
If you have an image at https://example.com/images/my_image.jpg, the HTML would be:
Code
<img src="https://example.com/images/my_image.jpg" alt="My Image">
Or the easy way!
Or you can do an image search on Yandex.com for the words you are looking for, select images, click on one of them, click share, then copy the URL
Paste it in the forum post, highlight the text and click the "Image Icon" third from the right beside the link button.
Voilah!
