Clickable pic (link behind the image)

[cicatrix]

How do I make the hyperlink behind a picture? In the old forums engine I could do:

[url="www.someurl.com"][img]www.someimagehost.com/pic.jpg[/img][/url]

With all that WYSIWYG form I can't figure out how to do that. The hyperlink button doesn't work on the selected pic.
Is this even possible with the new forum engine?

The easiest way is to ctrl+left click the image, click 'edit image', and paste url into the url field.

I think Evanitis means Ctrl-Right click, but that is the simplest method.

The other way is to insert your link first, highlight it, then add the picture.

For me, and I do not mean to contradict Red Iron Crown, but it's fairly easy just to add the image you want normally, then after it has been added to your post, highlight the image and use the forum's add link button and then add the link like you would do for a text link. 

I do hope it helps.

@adsii1970 NO YOU'RE WRONG MY WAY IS SIMPLER!

 

J/k, was not aware of that method, sounds like an even easier way.

@Red Iron Crown: hahaha... no problem. I just didn't want you to think I was trying to upend you. I've noticed that some people do not react too well with someone giving contradictory advice...

A third (fourth?) method is to click the chain icon "Link," then put your link in the link field, and a image link (eg, www.example.png) with {img}{img} tags around it in the "Link text" field.  That will parse the {img} tags correctly and then add the link.

I must be growing old. Really, bbcode seems much easier and much more intuitive to me than all of the above. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Is there a way of having an alt text on such an image?

Violating one of the basic rules of web accessibility feels just - wrong.
