How to add pictures in the description (with pictures!)

Looks like some people are having problems adding pictures in the description of their plane. So here is a tutorial for Windows and Android.
Warning: I think it doesnt work under 200 points, but I'm not sure. Comment that you need some points and I will upvote your stuff untill you have 200 points (If you uploaded enough), then it should work

Windows

Step 1:
If you want a picture from google, just right-click and copy the picture adress, Then skip to Step 2.
If you want a own picture in your description, just make a picture of it and upload it somewhere. I prefer discord. If you uploaded your picture to discord, click on the picture and then click "show original".

Step 2:
Now your Internet Browser should open with that picture. Right click and choose "Copy picture Adress"

Step 3:
Now go to you simple planes post, press the arrow showing down and hit "Edit"

Step 4:
Now write in your post (where you want your picture) this:

![](paste_here_the_link_you_copied_without_spaces)

Important: Make all the brackets I made!

Now your picture should be in the description. If it isn't showing up, look that there are no spaces between all letters, copy the the picture adress and paste it into the (round) brackets again. Important: Make sure that you copied the picture adress, not something other!

Android

Step 1:
If you want a picture from google, just skip to step 2.
If you want a own picture, upload it somewhere. I use photos.google.com. If you have uploaded it should look like this:

Step 2:
Now just click long on the picture, until a (white) window comes. Now press "Open in new tab".

Step 3:
Now you have the picture in a new tab. If you uploaded your picture to photo.google.com, there should be a large URL in the white line. You need to copy the whole URL.

Step 4:
Now go to your simple planes post, press the arrow showing down, hit edit and write this without spaces, just like me in your description:

![](in_this_brackets_you_have_to_paste_the_URL_you_just_copied)

Paste the URL in the (round) brackets and then it should work! If it won't work, look that there are no spaces between all letters, look that you did all right and if you copied and pasted the right URL.

Important: It might not work under 200 points! So make sure to be over 200 points.

Have fun!

    If it doesnt work: Try copy the text below and paste it in your description. If it worked, there should be a picture you should know very well. If it still dont work, just write me ;)

    @SPplayers No, this method only works on the SimplePlanes Website. Can you send me a link of the plane?

    I've downloaded someone's plane before, it looks like there's a picture in the cockpit, it looks like it's using a Part Label, can this methods work on the Label?

    @theNoobCountry2 it should theoretically work with any picture you can find online

    @SimonGlaser I dont know, all it does is to redirect to the image address or a new site, but doesnt seem to add the picture of it. The exclamation mark doesnt help at all
