How do I put my screenshots in forum posts?

So complicated to do a very simple task.

They are shown in my games profile but if I right click the screenshot ,there is no copy function.

Something went wrong while displaying this content. Refresh

No option to copy link address.

Copy the link to the screenshot itself and then paste that in your message. I'm not talking about the image but the screenshot as it's hosted on Steam. Doing it like that will even make sure that it gets expanded into a nice preview.

Just click on one of your screenshots (it'll open in a window most likely), then carefully look at the title bar of the window. It'll have a copy icon; that copies the link you need.

A Screenshot of Elite Dangerous

By: ShelLuser

This is a screenshot which is currently featured on my profile. So what I did was I simply clicked the screenshot on my profile, then a new window opened, I then right clicked the copy icon in the header of the window and copied the link. Result is seen above.

Hope this can help.

I could "save screenshot as" but there is no function to put them in posts.

GRRRRRR.

How do I add the screenshot to a post?

There should be a function ,when you make a post ,to right click in the post area and "add screenshot" should come up otherwise it is very confusing.

???????

I can only "save screenshot as" ,I can't "copy link address" .

When I "saved screenshot as" I saved it to a folder but when I looked in the folder,the screenshot was not there.

FFS Steam.

I told you: just paste the URL, the forum does the rest.

I figured it out,I had to "upload screenshot" then I could do the rest.

TY for your help.

Although your level of gained help was about "Why don't you just DO the thing that's not working for you?" - Could you please consider moving the solution up into your OP? As funny as this talk was, it is not when you just seek exactly this answer :D

Use the link in share. Is it in Steam F12 screenshots? Upload view online share it.

Or upload as Artwork open image then scroll down to comments and suggestions below is the image and the share under it.

When you click on your screenshot, the pop up window that opens has the link in the upper eft corner. If you click the screenshot again, it will open in a new tab and you will have the link you originally posted in the other thread. So, just one click, look to the upper left and copy and paste that link.

OK, so I go to View/Screenshots, then select my screen shot. Right clicking does nothing. But there is a button at the bottom that says "view online". I click that and it brings up my image in a window. Then I right click and select "Copy Link Address"
