When posting an image all I see; when not logged in, is a small icon with "image" beside the icon.
Have tried using Google Drive to host image; does not work signed-in or not signed-in. Additional, have tried attaching file, then copying link address and pasting between image tags I have also tried resizing images.

What is the process for including images? What image size is recommended?

Code: Select all<img src="image_url" width="width_in_pixels" height="height_in_pixel">

- Tue Jun 14, 2022 4:24 am #94766 I'm a bit confused: do you mean posting an image on this forum, like this:

BootModes.png (7.5 KiB) Viewed 4144 times

or do you want to include an image in an HTML file on your ESP (like in the example of quackmore above)?

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
