Pics, Gifs and Vids in Signature and Posts

I'm looking to modify my signature but nothing I seem to try works. Does TMF support linking pics/vids from online storage platforms like dropbox and google drive?? When I copy links to pics/gifs/vids that I have uploaded to those sites (with permissions enabled), the preview simply shows the HTML code with the link between the tags instead of that gif/pic/vid I want to be displayed. Seems simple but not working as FAQ and other threads have indicated.

Also, is there a way to delete a thread that you (I) begin without asking a moderator?

No way to delete a thread but you can put a picture or a video on your signature using html

For videos I only know how to embed YouTube vids

With respect to pics and vids, can I use the toolbar items (add pic or add vid) or would you recommend going a hard coded HTML route?

Html is easiest for me. Just put the image url in tags

I'll give that a shot.....I also think TMF interface doesn't play well with google drive so I will have to figure something out. Thank you for the responses!

Yeah it is what it is. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hopefully you find a way to get it all to work out for you.

Oh, if you have a thread you need deleted, you can just message Myr or Jeff about it.

Google Drive does not always play nice with hotlinking (embedding media on another site). Imgur may work better. ImageShack was the go-to for as number of years.

Ahhhh.....i guess i shouldn't be too surprised. Thanks for the intel!

Interesting subforum... Thank you

Also see, though you are limited to their images as far as I know, https://glitter-graphics.com/ which offers clipart and many other options.
Though your own pictures are probably much better...

One example: https://glitter-graphics.com/graphics/302764

You will see, at the bottom, this straightforward option to copy/paste the code into a forum: (Spaces input between characters so code can be viewed)

To post on Glitter-Graphics.com and forums, use this BB code:
[url =https:// www.glitter-graphics.com] [/url]





IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE SIZE --- USE THIS OPTION, where it says:

Copy this HTML code to your profile or website:
< a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com" >< img src="http:// dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/619/619479o1j4kg3y3o.jpg" width=212 height=216 border=0 >< /a >< br >< a href="https:// www.glitter-graphics.com" target=_blank > glitter-graphics.com< /a >

<a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com"><img src="http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/619/619479o1j4kg3y3o.jpg" width=212 height=216 border=0></a><br><a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com" target=_blank>glitter-graphics.com</a>


Change the size: just change those numbers for Width & Height, keeping the same proportions (or not).
Here I just halved them to width=106 height=108:

<a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com"><img src="http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/619/619479o1j4kg3y3o.jpg" width=106 height=108 border=0></a>

And.... perhaps this is not especially nice, but if you don't want that "glitter-graphics.com" advertisement at the bottom,
(clicking on the image takes you to their homepage anyway...)
just DELETE THIS LAST SEGMENT of code, where you see < br > for "break" I assume, which is found at the end of all of their HTML-coded images:

< br >< a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com" target=_blank > glitter-graphics.com< /a >
