I see, when uploading, that there is an option to upload screenshots too. However, it asks for something called BBCode which I am not familiar with.

Any tutorials someone could point me to?

Hello,
You have to use an image host. One of the easiest ne is https://pixhost.to/ but there are a lot.
Once you have uploaded your image, image host provide you links. Sometimes it's called "BBCode" or "Forum code". PixHost call it Forum thumbnail. It looks like something like [url...][img.../url]
This is this code (including [url.../url]) you have to copy and paste here.

Me again. I did manage to use pixhost but the quality is terrible. How do I get better quality? Pixhost does not give a choice on quality. Is there another file host that allows you to decide how good the quality should be?

That's not entirely correct. You can make the screenshots bigger. Standard pixel is just 200xY. Example:



This does not look good posted like that. But you can make the thumbs bigger in PixHost, but you have to test all options, because "I find it hidden". It's not really hidden, but it is not obvious either.

You could also try this:



Code:
url=https://img12.pixhost.to/images/1078/578365084_36_giannamichaels_topless-in-the-pool.jpg][img]https://img12.pixhost.to/images/1078/578365084_36_giannamichaels_topless-in-the-pool.jpg[/img][/url

https://t12.pixhost.to/thumbs/1078/578365084_36_giannamichaels_topless-in-the-pool.jpg (thumb's name)
https://img12.pixhost.to/images/1078/578365084_36_giannamichaels_topless-in-the-pool.jpg (full image)


Which means you don't use the thumb at all. But in some cases, PixHost then says: "Hotlinking on this site not allowed" or crap like that.

I hope that helps.

Please try to find the thumbnail-bigger option.

Regards, Freejack
