I’m looking for a way to show an image, but link to something different like a video.
I can’t seem to make this work with typical BB forum code, markdown or HTML.
Reason for this might be something that’s not supported in one box, or maybe I just want to take more control over what is displayed and linked to… for instance just making the image much smaller or different.
EDIT: aww snap, I got it… nested markdown [](target_url)
Oh nice! In the 1000’s of posts I’ve made on discourse I’ve never used that uploader more than a couple times. The automagic One Box thing has always just worked for me so I never bothered to upload. Most of the images I include are fast screenshots that I annotate and automatically upload to imgur.com, which I just paste the link in the post thereafter.
That’s way cool too. One thing I like about imgur.com is I upload to my own account, so all of my images are saved online whenever I need them. Regardless of where it comes from, I know discourse always makes a copy of it to keep forever (preventing broken image links in the future).
