You can utilise the Entertainment Hub forum if you’d like to post fan art, but please stick to posting one topic. You can also utilise the sub forum for recreations in sim games such as Planet Coaster.

Please see the changes we’ve had to make due to the Online Safety Act in the dedicated topic. Unfortunately image uploads is one of the things we’ve been forced to disable:

Unfortunately, thanks to the Online Censor Safety Bill, Imgur has withdrawn from the UK, so any links where you have uploaded images on this site now do not work.

Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine

The image-hosting platform - which is widely used to make memes - was facing a fine over its use of children's data.

I’d recommend imgBB, if anyone’s looking for a good image hosting site. It’s free to use, and I’ve always found it good!

Wasn't sure where to put this, but when people use Google Drive to link photos, it doesn't display the access form fully and I can't see the confirm button, so I can't access the media.

This isn’t a forum issue, but a problem with the poster’s permissions on their Google Drive. As explained in the embed, there’s no public access enabled.

I’ve removed the post pending the member reposting with an alternative host or using correct permissions on their Google Drive account. As this is an issue with a single post, we only need the report that you made rather than a post in here for them in future .

Can someone help me understand how to embed images in posts that are hosted on imgbb or a similar site?

If I paste in the image URL I just get a small thumbnail like this:

IMG-20250926-115539 hosted at ImgBB

Image IMG-20250926-115539 in Nuttysquirrel's images album

ibb.co

Is there no way to display it as a larger image without all the link text?

Once you've uploaded an image to imgbb you will see a drop down menu for "Embed codes". Change it to "BBCode full linked", copy the text, paste it to here into the body of your post (no need to worry about the image icon in the editor) and voilà!
