Hello everyone!

I need to ask a question and for more visibility I would attach an appropriate local picture.

I tried to do this using local URL but could not see the picture in preview frame - I thought this way is wrong.

How can I attach my local picture to my post?

Thanks in advance

This thing, this thing you want to do is impossible.
Because

  • It will violate file permissions of peer-to-peer connections
  • If your PC is turned off … what then?

Solution

  1. Upload the photo to any webhost that will accept it (Giphy, Fliker, Facebook, GoogleDrive)
  2. Get the direct link to the image (the one that ends with .png, .jpg, .gif)
  3. Press the Image button and paste the link

I strongly recommend imgur.com over any of those mentioned.
