Embeding Images in Post/Discussion (For newbies)
For your image to display properly in the post in this forum, the photo you want to use must be uploaded & available on the internet somewhere where it is publicly accessible / viewable.
BBCode Method:
If you want to embed image in your post, put the image address or URL within the src attribute's quotation marks [img src="paste-the-image-URL-address-here"].
Like this: [img src="http://helptanks.com/2017-08-07 (1).png"\]
Notice the space-character between:
http://helptanks.com/2017-08-07 & (1).png above in the URL?
Here the URL, being within quotation marks, the image URL is working and image is being displayed. But it should be URL encoded in order to work in Markdown syntax. Because in Markdown syntax, the quotation marks are not used and the URL will break due to space-character as the URL will not be able to be interpreted properly.
Here is how it should be URL Encoded:
[img src="http://helptanks.com/2017-08-07%20%281%29.png"]
Markdown Syntax:
^ the image that's hosted on my server works
Syntax:
Hope this helps the new guys.
