Posting a picture / image; how to add or embed an image or video in a post
HOW TO EMBED IMAGES: See tutorial information in posts 1 - 4.

Not every Forum accepts the embedding of images; for those that do, please follow the FlyerTalk Rules. From the FlyerTalk Rules:

8. Posting of Images link to this rule.
You may embed non-animated images in your posts. Your images must conform to all FlyerTalk content rules, must convey relevant, on-topic information and are not allowed in signature lines or user profiles other than in the space designated in your profile for your picture. (See also, Rule 2 User Profiles.) Please size your images large enough to get your point across but not so that they distort FlyerTalk standard column widths.
To attach of a doc, docx, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, pdf, png, xls or xlsx file from your device, or to add a thumbnail (or up to six thumbnail photos to your post, see the first and second posts in this thread.

If your image fails to load, the first thing to try is clearing your browsers cache.

NOTE: At this time, embedding animated images is not allowed (see this link to the FlyerTalk rule).

(Posts with embedded or attached videos, files or images made here as tests of how this works will routinely be deleted for systems efficiency.

Where do you enable this bar (WYSIWYG I believe)? My editor is plain-text only and I can't find any option to show the toolbar shown. Miscellaneous options does not have the option to enable WYSIWYG. Feel like an idiot.

EDIT: Support got back to me:

You can scroll down to "Message Editor Interface" and select "Full CKEditor"

I made a screen recording as a "how to" tutorial. Looks like social media is the easiest place to post it then upload to FT.

Just using this space to test

Still experiencing issues with uploading photos through FT. Im on my iPhone right now and, as you can (hopefully) see from the attached screenshot, FT claims they were 100% uploaded. Once I click the Upload button, nothing ever shows up on the post or on the source code for it. Ill usually have to repeat the same process 3-5 times for it to actually upload.

Infinite scroll is disabled and I have the expanded editor turned on.
