The discussion revolves around showing an image that links to something else. BDub initially sought a way to achieve this using BB forum code, markdown, or HTML, but found the solution through nested markdown: [](target_url). codinghorror pointed out that this is also supported through the UI by uploading an image and entering a separate link URL.
The conversation also touches on other image-related features, such as uploading images directly from the clipboard, as mentioned by supermathie, and the fact that Discourse saves a copy of the image to prevent broken links.
However, littleviolette reported that the “from the web” option is no longer available, which codinghorror explained is a recent change to simplify the image-adding flow.
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)
This is also supported through the UI. In the editor…
Click/tap image upload icon
Click/tap “from the web”
Click/tap “show more”
Enter URL for image. Enter URL for link.
Done:
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.
Did you know that if you have an image in your clipboard you can just paste it into the editor? Yeah, an image, not a link to an image.
We’re in the future, man.
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). 
이 기능이 여전히 사용 가능한가요? 업로더 아이콘을 클릭하면 웹에서 이미지를 추가할 옵션 대신 로컬 파일 창이 바로 열립니다. OP가 언급한 중첩 마크다운 구문을 사용하면 이미지를 추가할 수는 있지만, Google 예시 옆에 있는 것과 같은 클릭 횟수 아이콘이 있으면 좋겠습니다.
감사합니다!
아, 이 주제를 다시 올려주셔서 감사합니다. 말씀하신 대로, 거의 사용되지 않았던 “웹에서 가져오기” 단계를 이제 건너뛰고 있습니다. 이는 게시글에 이미지를 추가하는 흐름을 단순화하기 위해 최근 Discourse에 적용된 변경 사항입니다.
클릭 카운터에 대해서는, 외부 소스로 연결되는 링크에는 계속해서 클릭 카운터가 표시되어야 합니다.
