My image links aren’t working! I can link stuff, and use [b]the text thingies[/b] but vital stuff is broken!! I can’t put in images, so I can’t link images to my dragons when I need to. Say, my derg Euphoria. Let’s try and link his image. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/504107/50410652_350.png?mtime=XJdWXwACbkA[/img] See!!!?? It doesn’t work!!! I am on mobile, but I even tried to do the same thing on my computer and it still didn’t work. Someone made art of my girl Rhune and I can’t get it to show in her bio. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=454425&tab=dragon&did=50155157]go and check it out, the Imgur link is there.[/url] I think it might have something to do with the type of link, since I’m pretty sure tumblr links work [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/d66b056b6a8bf1cdd0c64204df5b0c7f/tumblr_pojnttPJLx1wy03na_500.gif[/img] see!!! There it goes. [b]How can I get images from fr and other places that’s not tumblr to show up?[/b]

@Etuisen to get an image of a dragon, you have to hit the little "generate code" button under its stats and copy and paste the bbc code option. And as a general rule, when using [img][/img] tags, your link has to end in png for it to show correctly Edit: and with imgur images, you usually have to hold down on the image and hit copy instead of copying the link it gives you

@flutes thanks a bunch! That helps a lot. Also I had no idea about the generate code thing lmao-

@Etuisen no problem! I had troubles with it at first too lol.

@flutes I tried to do the imgur link thing by copying it, but it just gave me the same unusable link :/ is copying an image address possible on mobile?

@Etuisen You need to delete everything after the .jpg Any image link NEEDS to end in a .jpg .png or .gif (i think that's all of them) or else it simply wont work. [code][img]https://i.imgur.com/oaBy0FT_d.jpg[/img][/code] [img]https://i.imgur.com/oaBy0FT_d.jpg[/img] [b]Edit:[/b] Same with the dragon image you tried to post earlier. If you delete everything after the .png it'll work. But as Flutes mentioned, there is the generate code button on the dragons page that does all the formatting for you! The reason the Tumblr gif is working is because tumblr doesn't add stuff to the end of their urls (usually) so they tend to always end in one of the appropriate file types. Where as, sometimes Imgur or other sites, depending on how you're copying the link, can have extra stuff after the file type. I know desktop imgur has multiple links for multiple ways to share - one of which just ends in the .png .gif or .jpg. But I'm not familiar with mobile. So unless you see a spot to copy that ends in the right file type then it just looks like you'll have to go through the extra step of deleting the extra stuff.

@alphasobek thanks! I’ll try that out.

@Etuisen

Sure thing!

If you wanted the larger version to be in the bio then the link for that would be

https://i.imgur.com/oaBy0FT.png

But I do believe that's bigger than the bio box is so people would have to scroll.

I think max width for the bio box is 640px - if that helps with size editing or anything!

@alphasobek ye I wanted it to be bigger, and I figured the png thing out myself. For some reason it’s still tiny but it looks way better than before so I can’t complain lol

@Etuisen

Yeah, I was wondering why it was so small too. Is it possible you copied the URL of the thumbnail image (like in your imgur gallery) instead of the actual big image?

Either way, the big one might be too big so you'd still have to choose between scrolling to see the whole thing or being tiny - unless you wanna try to edit the size to fit but good gosh Imgur's edit tools are pretty goofy on desktop I can't imagine mobile... but yeah, as long as it works for ya!
