Hi Guys,
I want to make a post that includes a bunch of photos of a project I have been working on.
I always seem to get the photo attachment wrong. It's always either a low res image or link I enter in with the img tags still remains a URL.

What's the best method for uploading photos and adding them here?

So I do have to upload it to some hosting site first? No way to directly upload?

Never works for me. I upload them, get the URL, put them in my post here like this. Used the image tag and had this in between https://imgur.com/o9etYpa

Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

Ok mister, what did you do different?
I need to add the i. before the imur.com url and then finish with the .jpg?

I'm not sure what web browser you're using so your right click menu might look different. But there should be a similar option.

I essential just use my Tumblr account for posting photos here.

There's no limit to the amount of draft photos you can save.

Also, nice job posting a 4K wide image and ruining everybody else's posting experience, chud.

I know, I'm a monster.

If HTI or a mod edits his post that quotes my image it'll be better. I edited my own post with a smaller version.
