If by comments you mean in forums and such, you just link the URL of the Steam screenshot or artwork. Steam automatically transform these URL into thumbnail.

For example if I type the URL to one of my screenshots like this;
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1003085499

Then the comment automatically transforms it to this;
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1003085499

If you mean comments on profiles, reviews or on medias, then that's not possible, they're only able to display URL and emojis.

ok but how do you convert them into URL?

You can't post images if it's on their profile comment section.

If you want to share your screenshot/artwork or something where you will see a picture, copy the link of it and place it down in a thread for example like Carolynne did.

Use [noparse] syntax. It disables the effects from inbracket syntaxes.

For example:

[noparse] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1003085499 [/noparse]

becomes just the URL and does not automatically transform into a screenshot.

If you start typing in the text field, three buttons will appear, "Formatting help", a smiley face and a green Post Comment button, the Formatting help button should show you all the stuff you can use.

If there is no Formatting help appearing then that means formats cannot be used (such as in comments on profile, reviews and medias).

This is the optimal setting for delivering printing, trough trial and error

Set your pallets to be closest to the door, so couriers can just walk in, take boxed waiting for helipad to clear, and that way everything will be shipped fastest.
Also, go straight for the helipad, as I said couriers cant load that much product

EDIT: you can take screenshot in-game via F12, but you must upload it from your profile to steam to be public. That way you can get link to the picture which will be visible in comments.

They don't embed unless they are from Steam.

Thanks. As far as I remember, we could post such links from limited number of image hosting sites like "imgur" in the past, several years ago. Now they seem to have prohibited completely any content from any external image hosting providers from being posted.

You were always able to post them but they never embedded.

A few minutes ago I just tried to post a link (not embed, only pasted the link) of an image from an external image hosting provider, but then it was removed automatically from my post appearing "link removed" placeholder in the post, right after sending.

On another thread.

Oh, nevermind. I figured out Steam is "only" allowing well-known image hosting providers like "Imgur". I had posted the link from a less-known provider source (non-global), so that's why the bots have censored the link with "link removed" placeholder. Imgur links work fine. Thanks friend.
