Add image to profile description

[Alpaszer]

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you! I clicked the "add image" option to try to add a banner to my profile description, but nothing happens. I seem to recall that I had the chance to upload a picture while I was editing my description four months ago. However, I'm not sure if it's possible at this point in time.

Hey @Alpaszer,

the "Add Image" feature on profiles is currently buged, and will be fixed soon. For the time being, you can use the "Media" icon to link images from other hosting platforms instead. Keep in mind, that images linked this way will not show up in the Profile Edit and will appear as a link, however once saved you should be able to see the full image on your profile.

Upload the image externally, get a direct link to it and use the IMG tag manually.

[IMG]<link to image>[/IMG]

To make it clickable, either to view the whole image or lead somewhere else:

[URL='<link to image or any link>'][IMG]<link to image>[/IMG][/URL]

By default it shows the image in it's max size, limited by the max size that the forum allows. To make it appear smaller, you can add "width" to the tag.

[IMG width="200px]<link to image>[/IMG]

Thanks a lot for the quick heads up. I appreciate you letting me know about the "Add Image" bug.

You're a lifesaver. Your tutorial on uploading images externally and using the IMG tag is exactly what I needed. The timing couldn't have been better. Thanks a ton for sharing your wisdom!
