Tekoneiric.6817 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 How do you embed images on forum posts? I can't find anything on how to do it. This forum is extremely frustrating when it comes to embedding images. For something as visual as GW2, posting images and screenshots should be much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's not enabled. You need to mime your image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMoon.6098 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Sorry for the necro, but what does that even mean? Been trying to post some of my fanart...seeing folks somehow embed Twitter posts and no idea how to do that. Would prefer if I could somehow embed my DeviantArt posts.

They are oddly particular about where you can share from. I think you have set up an imgur account, or some such thing. I cannot see me doing it for just one forum... 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can post on Twitter...I just have no idea how to embed it because when I copy the html from Twitter that should allow me to embed the post, it doesn't work.

Danikat.8537 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 There's currently no way to embed images in a forum post. It used to be possible before they switched to new software a while ago, now it's impossible. If you link to a Twitter post it will automatically generate a little preview window but there's no way to do that with images. It's annoying because there's a lot of topics where images would be useful but for some reason Anet don't want us doing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried dropping a link in the "link" button to a Twitter post, but it just shows the link and no preview. Or does it take a while to generate?
