How do you post images in comments/threads?

TappedOut forum

I've seen some people post memes about MTG or altered cards in threads but I haven't been able to find out how. I imagine it's pretty simply but dragging images into the text box hasn't been working.

< img src=????? > where the ??? is the images URL on the net, and there are no spaces

Don't forget to wrap the url in quotes. Here is an example you can copy/paste for reference:

<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-grYGwvZH-Pk/UO9PUFWC5QI/AAAAAAAAI3g/w-xUXyARIyE/s1600/adventure_time_comic.jpg">

Which produces this:

Oh and a follow up question on images, say you have an image on your desktop, if there a way to get move it to a Tappedout comment?

that i don't know. i think it has to be hosted somewhere

JoJaBi says... #10

Makes sense. I could just upload a picture to facebook or something and then link it then, right?

Imgur.com has a handy little thing that has "HTML Image (websites / blogs)". Just copy paste that and it takes the brain out of it.

Anyway to have a mouseover image link? Like a card: Storm Crow , but with a custom image?

Not that I know of. You could probably pull some wizardry, but I generally advise against tinkering too heavily with HTML on this site.

Also, you can ask your question in a new thread next time.

Yeah, I came across this through Google. Thus, it's ancient.

Yes, that. How did you do that?

graft says... #23

copypasta, change colored bits. use at own risk:

<span class="card card-color-white-cost-2 card-color-blue card-type-creature card-color-black-cost-2 card-color-blue-cost-2 card-color-red-cost-2 card-color-green-cost-2"><a rel="popover" class="card-link card-hover" data-card-img="http://i.imgur.com/etjgJ2D.jpg">U WOT M8</a><span class="screen hide image-box"></span></span>

Ok, only works right for card sized images.

That's what I wanted anyway, but good to know.

NerdPounder says... #27

So, does anyone have an explanation why the images work some of the times but not others? For instance on a deck description that I have, I have 4 image links, only 2 of which show up. And before you ask, I triple checked that they were done right

"And before you ask, I triple checked that they were done right"

I have to ask, does "done right" include making sure the website the image is from is still hosting it?

I can do that sonnet666. Hold on while I get my old project out for an example :D

August 2, 2014 5:51 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #30

And I didn't check to see if there was a 2nd page. Derp

anyways, just send me a link of the page you are trying to do the coding on.

A bit off-topic, but SQUIRRELS!!!

Femme_Fatale says... #33

I'mma finish this coding project.

Someday.

here are all the users that I know of that have community created cards. If anyone wants to like, find some people with user created cards that isn't on this list that would be nice :D

Also, this list was made a while ago, so the cards may have disappeared. I'll have to find the player of the month awards and the other contest that was running again.

Is there a unspoken rule about mass tagging?

No?

Okay.

OH that card. Yeah I made that myself, I was bored one day. .-.

@ corythackston: It's possible that the image's host has disabled image hotlinking. I would recommend re-uploading the images to a host like imgur.com and try again.

@ Femme_Fatale: nice work :)

Femme_Fatale says... #40

I actually re-worked the code quite a lot. I've removed a lot of the useless junk that the old code uses and made it so that I can use bullets as well.

Basic cores of the New code and old code, new code has the div indent and bullet image list codes full though:


Old vs new, fully completed with indent and bullet image list codes.:

Femme_Fatale! Ha, wow. I forgot about that card. I am still playing 3 mimic vat decks all this time later.

I guess that card is about as truthful as I could ask for.

Meanwhile, four months later.

Is it VampireArmy or vampirelazarus that we are supposed to tag for necro bumps?

December 8, 2014 7:48 p.m.

It's not the worst necro bump I've seen, but still.

@ThisIsBullshit: Where can I find the thread that was necroed 6 times?

December 8, 2014 10:12 p.m.

Right here

December 8, 2014 10:16 p.m.

Like I said in another necro, school and work have torn me a new asshole the last week, so Im compiling these for my list when I have time, so keep tagging me.

Thanks all!

I will be sure to re-visit this again in 2015
