How to format an image into a post?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here and put an image into a post on the forums (for [URL removed] promotions). I cannot remember for the life of me how to do it. Can someone refresh my memory on this?

Thanks,

Sharon

Your image needs to be hosted somewhere (like flickr or photo bucket). Put an exclamation mark at the beginning and end of a URL that directs to the image. NO spaces between the web address and the exclamation [URL removed]

For [URL removed]

![URL removed] ! <<< remove that space in front of that last ! character. Once that space is removed, the image will be displayed.

Didn’t we used to be able to take the URL to one of our listings (using sort of what you said with the exclamation marks) and make the image clickable right to the listing? From what I remember, when using an image from one of our listings, we’d right click on the image and grab a hold of a URL?

I meant to say thank you, Tom.

the photo just has to be online…if it is not a photo from one of your listings then it needs to be somewhere, like photobucket…

Actually you did answer my question in how I posted the question Tom. I should have been more clear in what I was wanting to do.

I did search through the community to try and find the answer and could not find it. So, a little bit ago I searched Google.com and found a thread right here on Bonanza. It explains how we can use an image from one of our listings and make the image either clickable right to our booth or right to the listing itself.

Yes Empress, when i promote in the forums here, i add photos from my own listings. And yes just an ! before and after the listing, then if you want to make it clickable, just add a colon : & the url of the item.

Thanks Sparkles. I’ve always love this feature on Bonanza. I’m not quite ready to promote yet but wanted to know how to prior so that I can do this right away when I am ready.
