Anchor text for uploaded images

[Ryan Kent]

Is there a method to use anchor text for uploaded images? Something like

[attach anchor="Big Gorilla Image"]999999[/attach]

I am thinking of the seo benefits. Yes, I am often reminded things like this make a small difference, but I also know every bit helps.

Do you mean a text link? You can use the URL tag.

This code:

[url=http://xenforo.com/community/attachments/198-gif.14806/]clarus the dogcow[/url]

Becomes this:

clarus the dogcow

I copied the URL of the image I uploaded.

I used the wrong choice of words, sorry Jake. I don't know the right term, but I can offer an example.

In /styles/xenforo there is the XenForo.png file. If I remove or rename that file, when I log into the ACP I see the text "XenForo Logo" where the image normally appears. That is the effect I desire. Text that describes the image, which also takes the image's place in case it does not load for any reason.

You want the alt attribute then.

Ok, thanks. Is there any way to add the alt attribute to the bbcode for uploaded images?

The software automatically creates an alt attribute based on the file name.
