On the front page of monero.town, sm.ms and catbox.moe are recommended as image hosting services. Unfortunately both are not Tor-friendly, esp. Catbox blocks Tor.
The Cock.li guy comes up with a solution.
- Solution about Catbox: Just change cat in the URL to fat and the image is viewable for Tor users!
Example https://monero.town/post/1025717 where
https://files.catbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg is not viewable via Tor
https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg would be viewable via Tor
- How to use an inline image (in general, not only Catbox)
The syntax is ![](URL)
so…
![](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)
Result:
![](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)
- How to make it a Clickable thumbnail
Text link would be [Text](URL)
you can replace Text
with an inline image, URL
with the image URL, i.e.
[
![](URL)
](URL)
so…
[
![](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)
](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)
Result ![](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)
Note: Optionally you can put Alt text in ![]
as in
![

Another hosting service imagebam.com is iffy but Tor friendly, easy to upload images there from Tor Browser & you can direct-link to the uploaded full image.
Using 3rd party image hosting services has privacy implications, but it will save the server resource of monero.town.
