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.

1. 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

2. How to use an inline image (in general, not only Catbox)

The syntax is ![](URL) so…
![](https://files.fatbox.moe/6z3p3z.jpg)

Result:

3. 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

Note: Optionally you can put Alt text in ![] as in
![Monero-chan is happy](https://sample.net/happy-monerochan.png)

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.
