Image Locker: A Place to Store Images with Clickable Links
« on: February 01, 2014, 02:45:53 AM »
Here is a place to store an IMG and generate a clickable link.

Why would I (or you) want this?

It's for when I don't want to embed an image in-line or inside a spoiler.

If I want an image to pop up via a link in a fairly clean context with no ads, and don't have anywhere convenient to store it outside Minmax, I can put it here!

I store the image in TINYPIC. I put the IMG code for it in a post.

The link for that post will call up the image.

If I tried to call it up directly on TINYPIC via a link, I get a window littered with advertising and other stuff I don't want.

Calling up a post on MinMax directly looks great by comparison; see the first example in the next post.

Simple.

Moved to Plug/Promote, where it belongs.

Several image services do this - any that let you get a direct url for your image, in general. Imgur is the one I use. Does Image Locker offer anything to set it apart from other similar services? Also, including a url would be handy when you're plugging a site. For starters, I can find no such site with a quick google search for the name.

I think he's saying to use the thread itself as an "image locker" of sorts.  At least, that's how it sounds to me.
The DM giveth and the rogue taketh away.
I have a 5 in Charisma and Diplomacy is a cross-class skill.  Hopefully I don't piss off too many people.

Oh.
...Woops.
Is that indeed the intent? If so, I'll move it to Off-Topic or something instead, or back to D&D if you intend to have it used only for D&D book excerpts. As I said, though, there's services that do this.
