Workaround to make your photos clickable like they used to be

This may look complicated but really it isn't, just a few extra steps until the forum is sorted out.

When you upload a photo here, it inserts it into the body of your post like this:

![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg "")

Easiest(I think) way to make that photo clickable:
Create a link to anything.com using the link tool above the text entry field, it will look like this:
[anything.com](anything.com "anything.com")
Replace the anything.com text in the square brackets with the image display code and get rid of those quotes
[![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg )](anything.com "anything.com")

Replace the first anything.com inside the parenthesis with the image URL
[![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg "")](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg "anything.com")

Replace the anything.com inside the quotes with whatever you want.
[![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg "")](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/69/9b0j66nihvow.jpg "This is clickable!")

It will show up as follows

    Nice coin! But to many words for me to figure out.

    In order for the mouse hover text, which doesn't really matter, to work you will need to get rid of the "" in the square brackets, that one overrides the later set in the link. but what you have there works fine as is.

    I'm glad you figured it out. I can just barely turn on a computer and this smart phone is way smarter than me! :o

    Wasn't too hard, made a couple typo errors then it worked perfect.
    Thanks,

    I'm a computer dummy. I've been holding a magnifier in front of the computer screen. :/

    I thought the problem was fixed.... clicked on some pictures this morning and they opened a magnified screen...now I see the problem has not been fixed, just a workaround....Oh well... Hope it gets resolved soon. Cheers, RickO

    Agree and the workaround isn't working for me on my computer. This feature is especially important on the BST when you want a closer look at a coin that you are considering for purchase. I hope this gets fixed soon.
