Could you go into more of what you mean by this? (You can copy-paste images directly into the editor, and I’m not sure what else you would mean by screenshots)
I didn’t realize that you can copy-paste images. Whoops! In this comment I initially got a link for the image because I didn’t know you could copy-paste.
I just tried doing this in a post, and while the images look fine in the editor, they come out huge once the post is published. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? (I don’t see any option in the editor to resize the images, and I’m scared of converting the post to markdown.)
I just fixed some of them (left a couple more for you to fiddle around with). This is pretty silly and we should fix it at some point, but the issue is that until you’ve manually fiddled with the size of the images slightly, they default to max-size.
You can resize them by click the corner of the image and dragging.
Yeah, sorry, the image uploader is currently connected to the WYSIWYG editor, so for markdown you still have to host them somewhere else. The markdown editor is currently really a very minimal HTML textfield with nothing fancy happening, so it’s not super obvious how to make image-upload work without a bunch of additional work.
Embedding screenshots would be really cool as a future feature IMO.

Thanks, that worked and I was able to fix the rest of the images.
LessWrong will host our images now? How do we add images using markdown? It didn’t work when I tried drag and drop or pasting.
