    I use imgur.com to store some pictures and then you can copy image and paste to this site. But you don't need a 3rd party to just copy an image like if you googled an image you can usually just copy and paste it here. Such as this one I googled medieval and clicked on images tab and then chose this picture and right clicked it and selected copy image to paste here with control v.

    they have to be hosted fromanother site. There are MANY Photobucket, IMGR, and so many more. I even think you can use Google docs

    either way you look at it once they have it you can just copy and paste the link.

    It seems to work if you post it on Discord and then get the web link for the image.

    It's not hard. You use postimage, like I just did and then you post the hotlink for forums, like i just told you. No need to use image tagging or anything else, just post the code they give.

    Just upload the image to your facebook album. View the album in facebook, select that picture and let it open up. Float over it then right click and the option to copy image link appears. Click that then come over to sota forum. In a forum post, choose add image. Paste in the image link from facebook.

    Easiest way...
    1. Hit print screen on keyboard
    2. Paste picture into Discord
    3. Click on picture in Discord
    4. Copy link and paste into forum
    Takes 5 seconds or so.

    Computers other than windows don't have print screen keys on their keyboards so just FYI. And some of us don't use Discord either :) But looks like there's lots of ways to get images into forums regardless...
