TOPIC | Can't Embed Images/Gifs In Dragon Bio
Dunno how I did it before, but I have embedded gifs, and images, into my dragon bios before. Now, however, it doesn't work. I'll click the little embed thingy, follow the prompt, and click save and it's just a link. No image.

What am I doing wrong?

I want to stress I am terrible HTML coding so if your response has to do with HTML, please make it as easy to understand as possible. I have a block in my tiny reptilian brain.

What "little embed thing" are you clicking on? Can you screenshot?

The tree thing above the text box. It says "insert image."

It depends on what your code looks like. Please post your code between code tags with the space removed:

[ code]coding[ /code]

Usual problems:

Using the url of the page the image is on and not the image.

Trying to use an image on your device and not one that is uploaded to an image hosting site.

DeviantArt/St.ash urls which are deliberately broken to prevent their usage.

I want to live in Theory. Everything works there.

Have you checked the Gem MP for Gene and Breed scrolls before buying an AH listing from me ending in 5g?
@Azurehue22
Is the link you're using a direct image URL? These links end in a file extension such as .png or .gif.

Alternatively: if you're linking from deviantART/Sta.sh, the images won't work.

You'll also want to make sure you backspace the "http://" that that embed button adds by default.
