    There are two ways to upload images.

    You can 'quick upload' an image from beneath the reply field by clicking the 'Upload images' button or dragging and dropping an image from your file explorer.

    If you are writing a post from the primary reply function, you can click the image upload thumbnail in the function bar to add an image. The image preview will automatically display in the preview field on the right. Drag and drop functionality is also present here.

    The devil is in the detail..

        The upload images button is not working for you? What error message are you getting?

            @R It may be a format issue. Try converting it to a .jpg and try again. I just had the same issue and it worked when I converted it.

              I seem to coming up with a similar error in the hobbies/vinyl thread

              Any photos I upload appears as a error/broken link once I post

              File formats are all jpeg

                For what it's worth, I just made my first posting with images included, and I had a heck of a time getting them to be visible. Neither of the upload methods worked for me - I got a small logo in place of the image. I finally had to take my images from Flickr (BBCode option), delete the extra tags that Flickr puts around the URL, and paste them between the tags the forum creates for using images from a hosting service.

                I'm not sure what changed, but on the old forum I could just copy the BBCode URL from Flickr, paste it into my thread, and the images would show. This doesn't work on the new forum any other way than what I described above.

                I hope this doesn't come off as a complaint, just feedback from someone who has some experience posting images on forums. Not an expert, but experienced enough to generally get by.

                  @jimmer_5 Interesting. What file format were the images you tried to upload using the inbuilt feature?

                    @Alex, they are all JPEGs. Perhaps they were too large (2.2 MB apiece)?

                    • To illustrate, here's what it looks like when I upload an image (these are all the same image):

                    20230407_161147.jpg.jpg

                    • Here's what it looks like when I paste the BBCode link directly from Flickr - this is how I posted images on the old forum:

                    [url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52808135805_4f34f34bf6_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6]20230407_161147[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97880203@N03/]jimmacnair[/url], on Flickr

                    • You can see that the red section of the previous block of text is the actual live URL. When I delete all the black text around it, ir still doesn't show the image:

                    https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52808135805_4f34f34bf6_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6]20230407_161147[/url]

                    • So now I took the actual URL and clicked the "Image link button" and pasted it in between the tags that the new forum creates (![alt text](image url) ), and now it works:

                    alt text

                              Agreed, that is not working - but it must have something to do with the image file. @jtaylor69 any ideas?

                                Alex, these are just images that I took with my Samsung Galaxy S21 and transferred from the phone to my PC. Sorry to turn this into an investigation!

                                Regardless, I hope my previous post is helpful if anyone else has trouble with images.

                                  The file format of the image that you guys tried to upload shows as .jpg.jpg

                                  Perhaps the one .jpg in the file name is too many and needs to be deleted so the image can be converted to a regular .jpg file?

                                      Hi all, sorry for the late post. I have a feeling it's down to this being a different format altogether (JFIF) as seen in my screenshot below. We will investigate to see how we can handle these types. Thanks for reporting!

                                        Also you wont be able to use bbcode unfortunately as this is not supported by NodeBB and other modern forums. You'll need to convert or use Markdown instead https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

                                          Thank you all for your help. To paraphrase the late great Phil Hartman, "I'm just a caveman, your multiple jpeg formats and modern forum coding frighten and confuse me!"
