insert images into text body of the post

Hi, can I insert images in the text body of a post? or only add them as attachment? for example, when I want to explain something and show it using screenshots.

Shahjahan Jewel

yes, you can just copy the image and paste it into it. Or drag and drop the image.

Yes, you can insert images in the post body. Use the slash (/) menu and choose "Image" to upload or I think it's possible to paste an image URL as markdown like this:

![alt text](image_url)

The slash menu is probably the easiest (see attached).

David ChurchillΒ what is the slash menu?

David Churchill

BirgitΒ just type forward slash / in the text area of a post or comment for the contextual menu. Don’t think this is obvious, but let’s you select different text styles and insert images.

Birgit

David ChurchillΒ ok. thanks. / but in my post or comment nothing happens. no menu. is it browser specific?

David Churchill

BirgitΒ Shouldn't be - what browser are you using? Are you using any ad or script blocking plugins?
