    Upload as in custom avatar? Can't do that lol. They said they were going to implement this. But that was like, 3-4 months ago.

    I also don't think Nexon would allow us to upload files willy-nilly. Can't think of any game forums that allow you to upload pics for use in comments and such, but there're sites like imgur that do that for you.

    If you're talking about putting pics in your post, though, then it's html.
    <img src="url to image"/>

    For example, this:
    <img src="http://nxcache.nexon.net/forums3/maplestory/themes/maplestory/avatars/Avatar_Default.jpg"/>

    becomes this

    First, upload your image to an image hosting website. Popular sites include Imgur or TinyPic.

    Once your image has been uploaded, right click on it and select "copy image URL". This gets the direct URL to the image.

    Then, click on the image icon in the post editor, and input the image URL.

    Note: You want the direct image URL, not the album image. This means you want the URL that ends in ".jpg", ".peg", ".gif", or ".png" (".gifv" unfortunately is not accepted on these forums).
    Examples:
    http://i.imgur.com/clAy3Du.gif - Direct image link (.gif), accepted
    image
    http://imgur.com/A3VoOPY - Image album link, not accepted
    image

    This is generally the same for any forum that supports in-text images, with only minor differences (such as using BBCode as opposed to HTML).

    Damn why did you make it so complicated? I remember when you just copy and pasted the direct link from imgur. Jesus all these steps are so extra lmao. ps: sorry if I sound threatening.

    I just upload what photo I want to use onto Imgur take the direct link from that.
    I use the image option on the forums so it's easier.

    If it's a gif then original gif link

    image

    Yes, the pictures are necessary.
    Aren't they adorable? OuO

    -EDIT-
    Apparently the forums here is going through an update of some sorts too.
    Many Html is going to be messed up, so do not be alarmed if images are gone, quotes are messed up, etc.
