How do you insert images directly in to threads now?

Title.

Used to be copy image address but that doesn't work anymore.

It doesn't work in this forum, it didn't worked in the last version, only in the first forum it worked.

You have to store your picture somewhere else and only put the link here.

Or, since this forum support twitter feed or youtube video; create a twitter post each time you want to show a picture and link to twitter post here. Yeah, I know, sounds like a pain, but at least you have images. Same with youtube videos, through converting gif or a jpeg into mp4 to make a 1 sec video to display as image... welp.

It used to work here(the new forums) too, but now we're back to having an official forum from the early 90ies again.👍

imgur used to be a part of the forum, both are now bonkers.

No.  I've managed quite well without ever getting a Twatter account, and I'll be damned if I subject myself to such kitten just to post images here when Anet should just put their big boy pants back on and let us post images like was once possible.

You don't. It worked for a while, then got disabled with no explanation given.

[lezbefriends.7516]

Two words: you can't.

This doesn't always work, a lot of the time the preview doesn't load on my PC or phone. Which is fine for an actual link, if I care enough to look I can open it in a new window but it means it's not a reliable way of posting images.

 

Its also pretty impractical, especially since everything on Twitter is public. Not that the forum is private but it means you have to have the pictures out there out of context.
