How do you insert images amid your post? |

Well I just realized (thanks to Anyien) the [ img ] tag is forbidden despite the button is still there and the tag totally functioning.
So is there a way around this? I thought about using something like [see attachment 1] instead of inserting an image but that is just silly.

Well, it is not completely forbidden. If I remember the rules correctly, you can use [img] in upload threads but you have to attach an image as well in the same post.
I've had a conversation with Sat about this, around 4-6 months ago I believe, and the reasons for this weird set of rules regarding the img tag are historical -- something to do with uploaders which weren't very fluent in English and used img tags I believe.

So in short, yes it is better to use attachments.

I remember that one. Just didn't know you can't use it anywhere else.

Reminds me of myself six years ago. Well, I'm off to read the rules again.

Well yes, the rules mention it a couple times:
- When posting an image, please do not embed it using the [img] tags, but attach it to your post instead.
[...]
Also, please refrain from adding images to your posts using the [IMG] tag. Use our attachment system instead.
The exception which I've mentioned is more of a moderation-specific rule, and apparently the reason why the [img] tag is still available. I've suggested the removal of the img tag from posts, but it is being kept in case the aforementioned uploaders visit again (and also to don't break a couple posts out there). I may ask Sat to review these rules sometime.
Note that image tags are allowed inside signatures, so this is one more valid use case.

Haha, yeah, Senkousha. When you came back I was surprised how your english has improved
The IMG thing has various reasons. When you upload something and pull the images from external sites, those links tend to expire and leave dead image links. If you attach them, the images are hosted directly on LAH and will not expire.
Additionally, we would prefer not to give hosting sites our referer traffic.
If you absolutely must display an image directly in your post, you could attach it and then directly use IMG tags to link to the attached image URL. (Yes, that works but I would only use it in emergencies)

Thanks Sat!
So this rule also helps us remain discreet. I can live with that.
