Insert an image in forum text – Alida Help Center

Enhance your forum description, post, or reply text by uploading and inserting an image.

Browse for your image, select it, and click Open.

Optional: Type alternative text for the image.
Generally, alternative text should be a brief description of what is in the image. Alternative text is useful because:
- If the image fails to load properly, the alternative text appears in its place and can therefore provide some context.
- Alternative text is what is provided to screen readers and accessibility software, for users who cannot view the image.
Note:
- There is a limit of 150 characters (including spaces).
- Multi-byte characters (such as those in Asian languages) are not supported.
Click Insert.
Optional: Change your image alignment by selecting the image and clicking Align Image Left or Align Image Right.

Note: These options are available in the forum description only.

Your image is inserted in the forum text:

For the desktop forum view, images in the forum description appear in the position you specified.
For the mobile forum view, images in the forum description appear after the text, regardless of the position you specified.
Images in posts and replies appear as thumbnails after the text. You can click the thumbnail to view the image at actual size in the image gallery.
