I've seen a lot of links badly done for images posted, so I thought I’d make this quick post to show an easier more effective way
Make an account with Imgur.com (it’s free widely used)
Don’t use the normal image linking icon -
Use the one next to it -
Copy both “addresses” into it and click insert
Then change the line you see e.g.
[ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg]https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg[/url]
The 1st part is [ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg] as normal
But change the 2nd adding [img] and [/img] and a “t”
So it looks like this
[ url=https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhP.jpg][ img]https://i.imgur.com/mXeCqhPt.jpg[/img][/url]
Notice the “t” when posting it tells the forum that you’re posting a thumbnail of the image that links to the full size.
remove the spaces in the [ img] parts, ive had to add them here, so it shows as text
It will show like this on the forum
So whatever image you’re posting just before the .jpg or .png etc add a t
It’ll create a thumbnail of your image and when clicked on opens up the full size
Various other options are
s = Small Square (90×90)
b = Big Square (160×160)
t = Small Thumbnail (160×160)
m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640×640)
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)
This tip is best really for when putting images in posts that are for example when showing meetings or contracts or similar type posts e.g. HERE, for banners and avatars use the usual methods (i.e. resize your images before uploading to a hosting site, so they fit as per the posting regulations
or you could do this IMAGE LINK MAKER
thanks
