But if it’s an image that’s on derpi, it should be a link. This lets people visit the image if they want to, and it also works with filters. Don’t try to put a derpi thumbnail and make it not link.

I figured out how to insert thumbnails of images located on derpi into comments or descriptions. But how… make it so that the thumbnail is, but no a link that translates to another image?

I wish I’d known sooner that you must be logged in to add images to comments. I created an account so I could do this:

I think the images from imgur stopped working on this site, Try uploading an image to catbox or searching for the same image on this site using image search (a camera icon in the search bar) to use this method:

Final Edit: to use catbox

Enter here https://catbox.moe/

Download the image and drop the file in the website.
OR put the URL of the image upload via url.

Copy the URL and repeat the first method
![](URL here)

For some reason it doesn’t work for me. For example (first would be the intended use of syntax, second the actual link to image):

As you can observe, where should be image just a blank space =_=

When it’s an image from Derpibooru, like the one you’re using as an example, instead do it like this with just the ID number:

>>3308651t

And then you get:

Are you logged in? To include an image by URL, you must be logged in. You can still post anonymously while logged in, like I am right now, but you must have an account. Then, you can do this:


So you get:

How do we get the photo in the comments?

It’s so difficult to insert the photo, it’s so frustrating like this:

Now I’m going to make a delicious pony meal

Just as Equestria ponies use their unique talents to make the world a better place, we also need to use our individual strengths to contribute to society.

@JP
And what should happen ?

@Background Pony #3C6F
Oh right, there’s that too. I completely forgot. Still, trying the same thing 15 times in a row and failing, and not stopping to investigate the situation is not sane.

@JP
No, I think there’s a good chance the BP tried the right syntax at one point or another.

However, they are probably logged out. Logged out users are not permitted to embed images, and when they try, the initial exclamation point is stripped, so you wouldn’t be able to see the correct attempts.

The ability for logged-out users to embed images was removed as part of a wider effort to combat spam of literal illegal images - see the announcement thread, Approval Queue and User Verification

@Background Pony #71B1
Don’t blame the site for you own technical incompetence.

Your syntax is broken and you repeat it, again and again, for I dunno, 15 times or so? Did you at any point stop to wonder why it isn’t working? You know the old saying, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”? It wasn’t working because you’re not linking to an image, you’re linking to an imgur page that has the image, plus megabytes of JavaScript and other garbage.

Do you not see the “Preview” tab above the post field? It would immediately have revealed your broken syntax.

You tried this (in your last post), but it’ll never work, because it’s not an image, it’s a web page:

But if you had tried this:
![](https://i.imgur.com/y36ymL7.jpeg)

It would have worked. See the “.jpeg” at the end? That’s the actual image you wanted. Plus the exclamation mark at the beginning.
