You have to host the file on a third-party site first before you can link it here on the forum.

What does "btw" even mean? For crying out loud, can we please just use actual words once in a while? 👎
I'm switching over from my profile to Spark, but honestly, what a waste of time. Why on earth can't we just upload stuff directly from a hard drive? It doesn't even have to be a photo—just give us the option to paste a link!

I’m trying to move stuff from my profile over to the main feed, but it feels pretty useless right now. Why can't we just embed links from sites like Imgur or something? (Doesn't have to be a photo... just let us drop a link...)
Because then the forum servers would have to host all those images.
If you really want to show off some pics, just sign up for a free hosting site or a photo album service, upload them there, and then just link to them.
That's what I do.

as if I actually feel like messing around with that crap and moving images back and forth... figured you could only upload directly from the web.👎 👎 👎
