As written on the title, I would like to know if there is a way to have a link embed in a image.
I checked the "Comment Formatting" guide, but it seem that any kind of image would be automatically hidden by default and that would ruin what I would like to do.
If this site were to use the BBCode, I would use the following code:
[url=http://www.steamgifts.com/][img]http://i.imgur.com/rtO99ej.gif[/img][/url]
I hope that let you understand better what I would like to be able to do.

Here a little giveaway for everyone that would be so kind to at least spend 2s of their life to check my discussion: Thank you Giveaway

Do you mean that clicking the image would lead to the link ? If that's what you mean, it's not possible.
What is possible is to have the link shown when you hover the picture with your mouse, but it won't be clickable.

Yes, I wanted the user to click the image and to be lead to another page(a train with images).
Out of curiosity, how do you make an image show words whilst hovering over it?

It wasn't a suggestion, but a request for more information, seeing as it was not reported on the FAQ, if it was possibile or not.

No but it IS possible to hide a link in a image...:) Lets say you make a puzzle and the only thing you post is a image. So we would need to find the link within the image and if you want to make it more harder you could even make that link an image url...etc etc.. haha :D (I know I am getting out of point here, but this is just a suggestion)

Unfortunatly, I didn't want to make an hard-to-use puzzle, but more a "graphic train", where user just needed to click the image to be redirected to another page of the site.

So it does work with "emoticon" and "font image"(I don't remember their right name).
Unfortunatly, it doesn't help with what I would like to do(I would need good quality images), but thank you to let me know this =)
It could be useful with other projects.

Unfortunatly, I wanted to make something easy-to-use, that didn't made the user write the link letter for letter.

They would just have to replace 5 characters in the current URL they are viewing, it wouldn't be too much work ^^

It's a bit ironic that Steamgifts supports the creation of dynamic giveaway forum signatures, but the forum itself doesn't support that formatting. :P

You can use ITH for that

ITH?

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

It's Too Hard

It lets you use clickable images. You can put a link here to the ITH page and use it to put your clickable images
You don't even need an account to use it (but it is recommended since if you do it you can edit it later and fix possible mistakes)

You need to create at least 1 question, but if you want to make it easy it can be just write your name or 'yes'

Nice! What code did you use and it is possible to put more then one image on the same page(9, to be exact)?

EDIT: saw the code. The last part of the question still rest: more then one image, possible or not? ;)
RI-EDIT: tested by myself. It does work quite nicely. I think I will use this system and that site. Thank you very much =D

It is possible, but not on this site. Markdown can be used to do this, but the way pictures are embedded here doesn't make it work.

Mmm...so, the format system should allow it, but for how it's used on this site, it "block" it? A pity :(

That's the only explaination I can come up with. I took my time and tried to read as much about Markdown formatting as possible and this definitely works on other websites, but not here.

I hope the dev of SG will fix this in the future or change format system(maybe BBCode...I would love it...).

Change the formatting system? I hope not, I had to learn everything from scratch for this website, don't want to learn a new one. :D

Nah...BBCode is easy! XD
You have a start [something-code], a middle "insert what you want or need" and an end [/same-code-of-start].
It's quite easy to learn and use ;)

Oh, the one that steam uses? Well, at least sort of... It's easy, but markdown is still quicker to use. :D

Not sure. I rarely used the Steam platform to write messages.

http://www.bbcode.org/ <= feel free to check this site; there are many useful guide on how to use it(or just search "BBCode" on Google ;) ) =)

The markup language used on SteamGifts is a subset of Markdown known as Parsedown.

So I guess it's not possible with this particular subset
