How To Post Images in Forum Posts and PMs here on DDB

Lol Imgur is literally not giving me the option to get a direct link. It's offering me the image link, BBC, HTML Embed and Markdown :/

Edit: Although, you can use the BBCode (Forums) link, you just need to manually remove the img tags. Works fine with that.

Thanks!

 I didn’t mention that because I’m hoping they’ll add that option back to the list in posts too.

The other bonus to navigating from the Post view to Images is that the last one uploaded will always be first in the list. If you do like I do and just have one private post labeled “DDB” (or whatever) and dump all you images into that every time you upload, the newest image is always last in the list, and at this point I’ve got around two dozen pages worth of images to scroll through in that one post alone. Navigating to Images is just way faster for me at this point.

 Looks like we lost "Images" now too.  So the top options are:

• Extract it from the BBCode version.
• Right click on the image in the post, and "Open in New Tab" then copy the address from the address bar.

Perringaiden,

Thank you for this info!!!

I was going in circles trying to figure out how to get the direct image link out of IMGUR now that they changed their site:)

Cheers!

Well, IMGUR is no longer available for those in UK. You can try to access using a VPN but they're actively trying to block those too. Postimages.com won't work for me either, and postimages.org has a lot of shady practices like replacing your images with banners until you upgrade and pay more.

I've started using imgbb.com and so far so good, so we'll see how that goes. They have direct links too. I might make a video if people want.

As a useful (and weird) addition, which I know works for Homebrewery, is that if you have an image hosted on Imgur in the UK and it's not displaying, I have found that (at least for ".png" files) adding the letter "r" to the end of the image link somehow gets past it.

So instead of "image.png" at the end of the link, put "image.pngr".

I don't know if this will work on the forums, but it does on the Homebrewery - useful when I had all my logos hosted there before the change!

Currently no way for me to turn off my VPN to see if this works, but both of these are the same image, hosted on Imgur. The second has an "r" at the end. I can check later if it works here!

Interesting little work-around that only seems to work for embeds in the forum. When I open the images in a new tab and add the 'r', I get a slightly different censorship* message.

*Not imgurs fault.

 I found it completely by chance when I accidentally mis-typed on an image embed on homebrewery, and it suddenly worked!

Wonder if it's similar to how the defibrillator was invented...

The entire arow of items from redo through the font types onto the other boxes and ends with a dice roller & the auto dice roller symbol that looks like a calculator has never shown up on my phone.  Can't take a photo but there is nothing to take a photo of.  It is just the reply to topic and then the blank box.  I could email the screen shot, but cannot add it to this window.

It'd be very helpful if the video wasn't broken

Since the posting there was a protocol change and for some regions embeds of youtube videos no longer work. This s on D&D Beyond's side so we can't do anything about it.
