How to post files/images? Step by step guide

JuliusBorisov

Due to constant problems of forum users here and there, I've decided to make a thread where everyone can read how to attach an image/screenshot/file to your post.

On the courtesy of @Metalloman‌ and @elminster‌:

To post files/images:

1) What you do first is you attach it.
Click on "attach a file" under the text box;
Browse the path to your image/screenshot/file;

2) Then you go over the file's icon - the thumbnail (the thing on your post that looks like a white page with a corner folded on it) with your mouse cursor and...

3) Click on "insert image/file": a precompiled tag will appear in the text box;

4) At that point you can actually delete the original uploaded image/screenshot/file (click on "delete") if you want to get rid of the thumbnail.

This thread should be sticked in EVERY forum area.

Thanks @bengoshi‌, great thread. Actually i didn't have too much problem with attaching files. But it was several weeks, that i learned, how to bookmark, a thread, or quote a post, so i can understand those, who have problems with attach file

How to post images:
1. Upload them somewhere (I personally like to use dA' stash function).
2. Rightclick on your image and click "Save image URL" (may be different on your browser).
3. Write this down in your post (exchange [ ] for < >): [img src="X" width=Ypx]
4. Exchange the X for the image's address you copied earlier.
5. Exchange the Y for whatever size you prefer. The px determines that it's pixels.
6. Enjoy

imo forever play gifs should be in spoiler tags so people don't have to watch them if they don't want to

How can I get the direct link (URL) to a specific post?

@Luke93 Try hovering over the time of the comment - it should give you the link.

That may depend on your browser - in Chrome you have to actually right-click and choose to copy the link address.
