Stone Blue Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 @Red Iron Crown What about adding single images, using the "Insert Media..." button?... I thought I had used that successfully for posting single imgur images before?... I just tried to post a pic in a thread (which i tagged you in), and THAT seems to not work now?... Is that broken JUST for imgur, or will it work for other pic hosting sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Let me try. Spoiler Seems to work just fine using the "Direct link" imgur option (the one that ends in .png). I just pasted the URL in and it parsed it automatically. Works with the "Insert image from URL" thing in "Insert other media", too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Blue Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Ahhhh... Thank You... I'm so use to just copying the URL from the address bar, which of course does not have the file extension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photobucket/Imageshack fell down the drain some time ago & Imgur is rapidly following, Did anyone look at Smugmug? it's mainly intended for photographers ( which is how I generally run across it ) and I've not checked any embedding options. I'll probably stick with Flickr ( which does do albums ) unless Yahoo meddle again, but it might be worth a look. It's been like that for the past year, at least. It's literally just a simple image hosting site with no way to find things you've already uploaded - you've just got to keep the links around.

Van Disaster Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 @KasperVldany chance of a button to embed Flickr albums as an alternative? they provide HTML embed URLs, didn't check the actual API. ( Also the user lookup via @ is completely bust on mobile devices, it does the lookup on the first character & never updates the list further - and you can't scroll it ).

Frozen_Heart Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Ok I might have missed something super obvious somewhere telling me how to do this, but I have no clue how to embed an album so it shows up in the post? I've found some threads on it but they point to a little "I" button on the right hand side which doesn't seem to be there for me. Any help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Key Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Imgur recently updated their site, and it broke the album function on the forums. It looks like the feature has been temporarily removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieThePotato Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I need help for embedding and album to my post. I have the album ready, I just need to put it into my post. I have seen a few guides but they are all outdated or just don't work. Please help me. Edited August 2, 2016 by RonnieThePotato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, Imgur just changed its format a few days ago -- so it was a little more challenging the last time I looked at it. Once you've uploaded the album, it gave you a link over at the side, right? Can you copy and paste that link here for us to try? In general, however -- once you have a link that works, you click the button above "Submit Reply" on here, called "Insert other media" and select "Insert image from URL". Then you paste the link you got from imgur into the textbox that pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket In My Pocket Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Seems like after the format change, the albums are pretty borked on the KSP forums, I just went and looked at one I posted in another thread and it's not working at all anymore. I'd say for the moment at least, that we can't use Imgur albums until they get fixed. Whether the problem is on SQUAD's end or Imgur's I can't say. My recommendation is to put one example picture up and then link to the rest of the album for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorjim! Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know why it has gone and if it will return? How can we post Imgur albums now? I found the answer.. Imgur changed code, broke our code, much sadness. Here's to a fix folks! Edited August 2, 2016 by Majorjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Direct album embeds have been disabled until they can get unborked. Sorry for any inconvenience. Also: Moving to the Kerbal Network, the forum about the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'll work on bringing it back later in the week. Changes on Imgur's end have made it so that the embeds are broken, and their new embed code doesn't seem to play nice with our forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The workaround I've found for single Imgur images is to copy the BBcode link from the dropdown menu-->get share links, paste it to the "insert other media" dialog box, and remove the tags. Ta-Dah! I haven't tried albums yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
