Guild Wars 2

I see people doing it all the time on these forums but the one time I attempted to do it per the guide to codes, I ended up with text gibberish rather than an image. I could sure use a step by step dummies guide on this.

go to the advanced editor, look at the choose file button and select the image on your hard drive. It will always end up at the bottom of your post as a preview and you can only add one per post but thats how it works.

Added a random pic to this post to show the result.

Go to “more posting & formatting options”, click the “Choose File” button under “Attachments”, add your picture as an attachment, then click preview. It should upload it and stick it at the bottom of your post.

You can add more than one picture per post, just follow the instructions given above and after adding one file choose the preview option. It will confirm your first picture has been attached and give you a second ‘Choose file’ button to add another pic. You can repeat this to add several pics (not sure if there’s a cap).

Thanks for the nice, clear instructions. Works even for an iPad.

All right, let’s give this a try!

Do the pictures have to be at the bottom of the post? Any way to put them in the middle? If not, can I link an image from another site and have it show up in my post? There is an example of doing that in the FAQ (it shows how to use bbcode img tags) .

It doesn’t work.

They can only be attached which means they always display at the bottom. Sorry IMG tags don’t work and I wouldn’t put any large size or animated pictures in your post. I think I was infracted once for that (although they didn’t say why the post was “bad”, that’s the only thing I could imagine).

Ok, thanks for the replies. That’s disappointing
