Everything Else » How To: Embed Images in Forum Posts
March 01, 2010 by hevans (NerdKits Staff) |
We have had a couple of suggestions from the NerdKits community about allowing image uploads in our forum. While we are not ready to host these images ourselves at this time, we are highlighting here a set of best practices for getting images on our forum that should alleviate the problem. In your forum post, use the following syntax to embed your image:
A few notes:
After a little bit of research, we are recommending imgur as the service of choice for uploading images. Imgur is free, you don't have to sign up for account with them if you don't want to, and it allows direct linking to images. Here is how to embed an image using ImageShack:
Creating an account with imgur is not necessary, but we do recommend it. Creating an account will ensure that your image is available from them forever. Special Note: It is also possible to have a link to the image without embedding the image in your post. To do this simply leave out the ! to make it into a normal link. In this case the text between the [ ] will be the link text. If you are linking images in this way from imgur you can copy the URL in the "Link" box instead of "Direct Link." Photobucket and Flickr will also allow you to link to their images this way. |

I tried posting the images through image shack using the following syntax but all it showed was "Alt Text" in my post. "[Alt Text]"(http://img545.imageshack.us/i/dsc02183yb.jpg/) Ignore the quotes. Also I had the exclamation mark too. |

Hi abd445, You are encountering this problem because you are linking to the page on ImageShack with your image on it, not the "direct" link to the image. The direct link to your image, which can be found on the sidebar on the right side is:
Which would render like so: |

Did you mean something like ![](http://i.imgur.com/NjFYo.jpg) As in: You can search the Nerdkits forum for "butterfly" to see lots of discussions. First thing is a wiring error next a low battery but most likely a wiring error. Sometimes it is simplest to just strip the breadboard and start over, you'll be amazed how fast you get at rewiring the breadboard once you get through doing it 10-20 times. Ralph |

Hi sdrougas, Welcome to the forums. Many people get the same problem too with win 7. I had the same problem too. It looks like you just need to download the win 7 driver here . The usb driver link is right below the Library Title. Hope this Helps! -missle3944 |

Hi eiyenla, What problem do you mean? You should start your own topic because this isn't a help type section for programming and stuff like that. Welcome to the forums :). -Dan |
