what's up, gull and such here, recent "wait there's more than one of us" realizers. whoops!

still giant robot fans, still pmd: explorers enthusiasts. imagine we are wearing a big button that says "ask us about Void Stranger". you should play all the games we like right now. the media backlog continues to grow ever further, and finally fucking continuing Initial D slips further and further out of reach.....

Ok we Need a way to upload images for inline use in code so people stop hosting parts of their cool html posts on fucking DISCORD though

@lupi

and NOT the clumsy draft trick

apparently imgur doesn't work either for some folks so i can't even use the image hosting site to host images????

I’ve used Imgur in the past for my posts, but I didn’t like it

Staff please :(

Until discord makes some change to how direct links to your images work which doesn’t mess up any of their stuff but does mess up any external embeds, which they could totally just do at literally any time

Or until they decide they’re going to delete old files if you’re not a nitro subscriber or something

which they also have no reason not to randomly just do at any time

if youre going to be using images inline

please use the draft trick until something better comes along for uploading to cohost without workarounds

trust me - you don't want your posts to be the victim of link rot. too many good sources of help and fun on the Net have been lost to the likes of tinypic, photobucket, and imgur going Oops :3 and i wouldn't trust discord so much either, theyre always up to some kinda bullshit, and even beyond those the only way to definitely guarantee those images will definitely last the duration of cohost's existence is to - well, host them here.

it may take Work but future users stopping by to check your thing out will thank you by being able to actually see/use it

we can a) use drafts, though I think it wouldn't be hard for the website to have a "upload this file and paste the url into the body text" button or b) you could put an inline base64-encoded image (which makes the post lorge) (not currently supported)

If u want the image to be the body of an element instead of a background, use the context css property, then it's about the same as jusf an inline <img>.

e.g.

<img
title="alt-text"
alt="alt-text"
style="
content:
  url('data:\
  image/\
  png;base64,\
  iVBORw0KG\
  goAAAANSU\
  hEUgAAAAU\
  AAAAFCAYA\
