How do I upload an image?
« on: December 01, 2013, 09:32:26 PM »
Hello!

I'm trying to upload an image for the contest, but the "insert image" button just puts a marker for the image. How do I get the image in the post? So, far I can't find any instructions to show me the right way.

Thanks!!

You can upload it at Ouroboros Portal (another part of Titan Network), then put the URL between the image tags.

That worked for uploading. Thank you!

I'm still running tests, but the first time inside the brackets, the image displayed as blank, and without the tags it shows the URL location only.

Second test fails also. Image wil not display in the Preview.

Make sure you're using the image URL, not the display page URL.

Display page: http://ouroportal.com/wiki/File:Screenshot_2005-12-30-17-24-28.jpg

See the /wiki/File: part? That makes it unreadable for displaying - you're actually telling the image tag to load a webpage. Which, obvs, it can't do :)

Click on the image in the display page to get the base URL for it.
