SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm having trouble posting picture on this new site. Here's an example: I google an image of Chris Thompson and copy the image link https://goo.gl/images/4PRpWb I think hit the bottom right "insert other media" and then click "insert image from URL". I paste the https://goo.gl/images/4PRpWb and hit "insert into post" and the link turns red and I can't post it. I'm sure it's something wrong on my end but I can't figure it out.

Acgott Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 You are copying the google result not the URL for the picture. Right click the picture for copy link. You should be able to it right on the board without going to insert link. This is your link you should see https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_960w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2017/09/18/Sports/Images/skinsrams0917_26.jpg&w=480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Ok, thanks. I'm going to play around with it. I'm on a Mac desktop and I also use my iPhone so I'm not sure if that makes it more difficult. I doubt it, I'm sure many people here post other iPhones. I did figure out the gifs, so I can always get by with that. Thanks though! I'll get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 On iPhone click the 3 vertical dots in your original link. Then view original image. It will give you the link you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightTrainLane Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 On the previous site I could paste gifs from gfycat right into the a post. On this site I'm getting a blank box after I paste. Is there something that I'm doing wrong in formatting or just a limitation of the forum and is there another way to get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to simply post a link of the gif you want to use. It might take a few seconds (maybe longer, depending on your computer) for it to appear for you. Make sure you have the actual link and not a shortened version. I posted a gif below and also included the link. There was an option for a shortened link and that one would not work for some reason. https://media.giphy.com/media/3oKIPhbJVVbApYX8DC/giphy.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These from gfycat.com were just big so it took a minute to load like you said and I wasn't patience enough. My bad. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
