Image Won't upload - Technical support

22 May 2023, 19:31

Description of the problem :
When inserting images, the website automatically turns the code into url bbcodes rather than keeping them as images. Thus in the post, it will show up as links instead of uploading an image to the server and showing an image

it's because the end of your image is /img] and not [/img]

I'm having the same problem of the images turning into links. The code is correct but when I preview it changes to url in the code.

Does the original link with .jpg, .png, or .gif?
If yes: sometimes the problem lies in the image hosting web.
If no: it may be the cause of the problem.

The world is in despair not because there are many bad people, but because there are many good people who do nothing.

It's definitely something wrong with the hosting site. I tried coding your link as an image and I got the same problem. Try using discord or another site to upload your image.

It's because the link you sent redirects to the imgur site, not the image itself. The link to the image itself is https://i.imgur.io/jCWJobd_d.webp (it's very small so I think Imgur might have compressed it too much when you uploaded it - the version on the link you sent is larger but this is what it ended up with when I removed the width= and height= stuff in the url) but because it's a .webp file it will be converted into a URL rather than an image. I'd recommend using a different site such as discord or postimg

Maybe this site can help. It will present you with a list of links, and you simply copy the "direct link" for your image before inserting it between

Code: Select all

[img] [/img]

guideline:

Choose an image in your folder

After that, go to direct link and click the blue thing and have your link copied
