permanent image in topic

13 Jan 2017, 12:06

Is there a way to add a picture in a forum-topic whitout the risks that it get's deleted by time?
When I use a gdrive or dropbox, then it could some day be deleted!

Isn't there a picture upload to the forum it selves?

thanks

use an image hosting site like imgur which has been around for a while and will most likely not die in the next 5+ years. It's what they are for. There are buttons to get direct links (aka, no ads/slow UI) and even pre-formatted bbcode (forum format) for those too lazy to click the 'img' button on a forum.

also, I never trust forum attachments. I've encountered so many forums that have dead attachments or lock the ability to view/download attachments to registered people only.
Plus, no offense to AHK, but for many years (including the old forums) the attachment system has been terribly unstable. Never rely on it.
rawr. fear me.
