How to insert images and media

In this guide, we will show you a few ways how you can insert images to your posts.

First, you should know that you don’t have to host your images or videos somewhere else before posting it on XboxEra forums. Your images will be uploaded and hosted within the forum. We believe that you should be focused on discussion and not think about hosting your images and media files. The only limit is the size of the image/gif/video file, it should be less than 15MB per file.

1. Upload

Classic, just click on Upload icon.


2. Paste image link

Something like this:

And the image will be shown:

After that, you don’t need to do anything, after 10 minutes forum will upload an image and store it on our server. You will get a notification that image is uploaded.


3. Copy + Paste

Just like that, copy image from somewhere (websites, Google images, etc). This works for images that you can find online. This type of upload doesn’t work for images stored on your device or computer, you will still need to upload them to the forum using the Upload button.


What type of images and media are allowed to be uploaded?

You can upload .jpg .png .gif .mp4 .webp and .mov files.

The only restriction is 15Mb per file.
