I'm posting this here because this question is asked every so often. Maybe the mods can pin it for future reference?

 

How To Post Photos to TRF

 

In order to post photos here they must be on a webserver and visible to the public. With the exception of avatar pics, you cannot simply upload them to TRF.

 

There are different methods to post photos depending if you are on a computer or mobile device.

 

If posting from a computer/laptop:

Begin composing your post/reply.

Click the square photo icon in the toolbar above the reply box (second row, middle, looks like a green square)

Paste the URL of the photo, including the "http..." part. Make sure the URL ends in a .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .png.

Click "OK"

Your photo should show up in the post you are composing

 

If posting from a mobile device (phone/tablet):

There is no shortcut so you must manually type in the code as shown below

[img]paste photo URL here[/img]

(Those "img" tags require the square brackets on either side, and the slash is required on the second tag to close the set.)

 

A valid photo post will look something like this

[img]http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/slice_rush_01.jpg[/img]

 

And will show up like this

http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/slice_rush_01.jpg

If you're using a laptop/computer, you can literally right click the image, and hit "copy image". Then paste it. No need for the URLs

 

This may or may not work on all computers. It does not work on my Mac. And I suspect that when it does work, what it's really doing underneath the GUI is copy/pasting the URL for the photo.

Only works if someone has a Facebook account. People who don't can't see it unless it's marked public I think in the privacy settings.

 

Oh and nice to see you! :)

For this post I was on my laptop although I do occasionally read/post from my Galaxy Tab S2.
