I kinda broke the forums, and I think it actually looks decent:

Nice job re-skinning de-skinning the forums!

Is it possible to add pictures from http://prntscr.com/ to be embedded as puush pictures? :)

Generally if something isn't embedding it's because it's not a direct link or there is no file extension. If I can't verify it's an image then it wont be embedded.

Please forgive me, I'm really bad at explaining this but I'll try...

The link must point directly to the image and not a web page that hosts the image. I'm pretty sure http://prntscr.com/ don't even host the image, their links simply point to a web page not the actual image. I believe the image resides on another site like imgur.

Basically the link they give you is a link to a page with ads, that also includes the uploaded image. The link actually has nothing to do with image, nor does it even point to the image. The webpage contains the image source and embeds it from an external source. That means the link they provide doesn't tell us anything at all about the content or where it is or what it is.


There is a simple solution however and I'll use a screenshot I took as an example...

Here's the link they gave me after uploading my pic, as you can see, it wont embed.

Here's the image URL from their page (notice the image isn't even hosted by them)

( I made it so wont embed so you can see the link )

Here's how I got the real image URL (direct link)

Right clicking the uploaded image and selecting copy image url from the menu will give a direct link and linkify will embed.

and finally here's the link embedded with linkify..

Cont...

Damn character limit.

Personally I'd just use imgur since (in this case) that's were images are being hosted anyway. They provide direct links to images and also provide a good reliable service.

I hope I've manages to explain what's going on. Sorry it's such a long answer but I prefer to explain exactly what's going on rather say they aren't even image links.

I do love reading your responses, even to something that I already know. I feel like I'm at least 120% smarter!

As for Imgur, I can help you set up a program similar to Puush for Imgur if need be, you can also make an Imgur account to store your images, however it's limited to 225 visible images unless you buy a pro account ($3/m)..

This is the program in question, it has little tools like a gif recorder too, as well as file uploading. I prefer it to puu.sh, because when you take rectangle area pictures, it freezes your screen which is handy if you want to right click something and take a picture :P

Anyway... I'm blabbing on!

^Wow that actually looks less appealing than I imagined. And seriously, they're fully clothed? that's just wrong!


Oh that's right, there was a reason why I'm posting...

Not sure if anyone has noticed but some gyazo images have been having issues, disappearing after they have embedded. I've just done an update that should prevent this from happening. So if Gyazo isn't working as expected make sure you have the latest version of linkify (Version 3.1.6.7) and it should be resolved :)
