DaveyJ576 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Am I being incredibly dense, or is it not possible to post a photo into a thread reply directly from my computer? I took a screen shot of a mission and wanted to post it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to include it in the post. I did see that you can link a photo from the web, but can you post one directly from your computer? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Nope, you can't go directly from your PC to the forum. What you need to do is upload your screenshots to a sharing service and then copy the link they provide into your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJ576 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ok! I suspected as much. Wanted to make sure I wasn't being dense. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJ576 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Okay, still not working. I have tried linking from Dropbox and MSN OneDrive. When I try posting the link, the box turns red and it won't accept the link. Oops. I just figured it out. Required a bit of manipulation but I got it.

Entropian Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) A bit late, but Dropbox works if you change the appending dl=0 to a dl=1 in the URL if you didn't figure that out. Edited October 5, 2020 by Entropian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 @DaveyJ576 I would recommend Imgur. It's free, has a simple and intuitive interface and you don't need an account to upload images (though I would recommend it if you're going to be uploading a lot of images, perhaps for a mission report). Once you upload your pics to Imgur you can just copy the direct link and paste it into your post, it should automatically embed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
