Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Why can't I upload pictures from a link?

S.E. has this feature. You just copy and paste the link of the picture, and S.E. uploads it for you.

But for Codidact, I have to download the picture to my computer. Then upload it? This wastes time.

This has been discussed previously. I have suggested this plus a whole bunch of other image related features. I haven't had the time to work on implementation and nobody else had jumped in to do this. We'll get this eventually.

You can use markdown formatting to directly link the image, like so:

![alt text](image url)

E.g.

![alt text](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/Juglans_regia_polyploid_fruit_bottom.jpg/1280px-Juglans_regia_polyploid_fruit_bottom.jpg)

becomes

This will not upload the image to Codidact, merely link it, but it should be good enough for most purposes.
