How to Post an Image on Metabunk

[Mick West]

If there's an image on another web page that you want to use, you can just link directly to the image with [IMG][/IMG] tags, like:

[IMG]https://www.metabunk.org/data/MetaMirrorCache/29c952ecb991ed77412fdcbff00f7762.png[/IMG]

which will give:

Alternatively, you can simply copy and paste the image itself.

1. Right Click on the image
2. Click on "Copy Image"
3. Click on the Metabunk editor window
4. Paste

The image should automatically be uploaded as an attachment. In the animation below you will see the image appear in the attachments section. Don't save the message until it appears there.

You can also drag files from your computer directly into the editor, or click on "Upload a File"

The recommended way is to use the BB code from flickr:

which gives some code like this:

Can we "rotate" photos, after they are posted, or during "posting" ?

Do user uploaded photos have exif data removed? Curious if my recent uploaded pic has location metadata

Yes, they have EXIF removed if uploaded. They also get resized to a maximum of 1600x1600. So original files need to be zipped.
