I'm having trouble correctly linking images in my character build thread.

I'm using Google to store my images, and I think I am linking them correctly, but I am asking for help and advice. Is there something I am missing?

As long as you have a URL for the image, it should be easy. I do it by clicking the image button and pasting the URL between the IMG tags. It ends up looking like this. I just removed the / on the second tag so you can see the code

What Shock said. As long as you have the URL link, images should show up here find.

It should look like

(img)url-ling(/url)


Just replace the ( ) 's with [ ] 's.

Yeah, that part is easy. This is indeed what I've been doing:

Image

I think the problem is somewhere on my end. As I said, I'm using Google to host my images. Is there some kind of privacy setting I have engaged that is blocking them from being linked?

The album itself isn't set up to create links. I go into the album, select the image, open it in another tab, and then click on it to view image. It's the "view image" url that I am using. I appear to be doing something wrong, though. If anyone has any insight as to what my mistake might be, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Seconding that confirmation -- the image of the character you called "sleepwalker" appeared above.
