Reply to can some one pin the esoteric steps to embeding an image in a post to the top of this forum. i keep losing the grimoire i keep mine in by I_got_killed_one_time

I can leave it in a comment here, but someone else will have to make a pinned post about it.

Step 1: Upload your image to this forum.

Step 2: In a text editor, paste the following:

[![]()]()

Step 3: In the set of brackets after the exclamation point, type whatever you want the name of the image to be. This isn't really important, you can type any text you want here.

[![keytar]()]()

Step 4: Open the image you uploaded in a new tab, and copy the part of the URL after https://jstpst.net . It should start with a forward slash. Paste it in the first empty set of parentheses.

[![keytar](/submission_images/d21eb05d61001d074df4be7bb6c3581bc7128072be8fe7c4051fda0d4859f45c.png)]()

Step 5: Copy the URL of the post itself (not the direct link to the image), starting with /f/ and ending with the post ID. Paste it in the final empty set of parentheses.

[![keytar](/submission_images/d21eb05d61001d074df4be7bb6c3581bc7128072be8fe7c4051fda0d4859f45c.png)](/f/imagedump/11361)

You now have your image embedding string. Paste it into a comment and see what it does. If you want to edit your /f/imagedump submission with the string so other people can use it, be sure to surround it with backticks (`), so it will be interpreted as inline code. Otherwise it will just embed the image into your post again.
