You will need to find your own hosting for for your image.  Upload the image to your server and then enclose the url in BB Code IMG tags.    The link below explains about BB Code and IMG tags.

Hosting services can easily be found by googling image host (sites like imageshack) and there is also a sticky in the C&C that you can use for short-term AGS-related pictures (such as a Sprite Jam entry)

And also, welcome to the forums! Can't wait to see your entry.

why are there no clickable bb-icons used in this forum like in every other smf forum :(
As this makes posting a pain in the ass I tried everything in the settings and didn't find anything. We all like 90es Adventures games, but forum software is more interactive in the 2010s >:(

Oh man, but that'll make everyone format their posts into stupid ass hole non-conservative kind of, eh, posts. What we need is posts with minimun formatting. Bold I can take, italic, if not used too much, but underlining, no way!

Frankly I don't see the issue.

I was rather looking for imagetags, linktags and maybe spoilertags. bold and italic are also nice.

If you copy those tags exactly, you'll get the following output:

bold
italic

Spoiler
You can't see me!
[close]
// this is some code
preformatted text


Note that if you quote my post you'll see that I've used the fact that SMF only does a shallow replacement of BB tags to my advantage. Besides..I think most of these (at least the first 4) are standard BBcode anyway.

You know..since the reference page (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/Themes/default/help/posting.english.html#bbcref) is too hard to read.

Hi monkey,

your modell looks nearly like mine.  :D

Since I always have to write my posts on a seperate document first (because of the translating and „proof-reading“), I have to do all those copy&pasteâ€"work over there, too. Otherwise I loose the overall view.  :-\

I prefer the templates, selmiak mentioned, because you can write your text like in „word“, simply mark the passages, you want to hide, change to bold or what ever and then change it by only a click on the the corresponding button.

This way I have less of those copy&paste pieces to do and get it done faster. I know, I'm lazy!  8)

But thank you for your offered assistance! I now can be sure, that there is no easier way for me, as I do it right now already.  ;D

I still don't know why we lack the buttons, the only thing its really remotely slowing down is those annoying folks who like to write like this; however I would expect them to be archaic enough web-wise to type out the code anyway.

What I would really like to see is the [code] to look more like AGS. With proper colors and such for strings and integers. etc. Blue for the If's Else's While's, etc.

That would be the icing on the breast for me.

Like the folks who format their text like html.

Actually this forum software supports the formatting buttons but I guess it's disabled or maybe the version the forum uses does not have it. Somehow I'm expecting the first case to be true for some good reason. ;)
