Other options for attaching images

Hey, is it possible to add another option for attaching images into trade offers?
I'm mostly using windows sniping tool to save the image, than upload it to imgur, than download it and upload it into new trade window ... that's a lot of wasted time. The best case scenario would be, if we could just directly paste the clipbord saved image into text window and the offer image would automatically use it as offer image. Other option would be to add a possibility of linking images from hosting site, that should not only lessen the stress on the server itself, but save up a lot of time also. Of course we would need to implement some kind of cache to limit max number of requests, so we don't trigger hosting site DDoS protection.

Direct pasting is coming in the next update to the website.

However, you'll be able to paste clipped screenshots straight into the editor in the next trade patch set to drop next weekend.

There's an Upload button right under the text window when you post a new trade.

Yeah, that's an option too, but still that's a lot of wasted time and ends up similar to my method
I see we already have this feature in waiting list ... didn't see that earlier, ok it seems we need to wait. Thank you.

A few seconds is hardly a lot of wasted time. But as both me and Enragedn3wb pointed out, you'll be able to paste directly in the next patch. So you'll be able to spend those extra seconds MFing. Share if you find HRs pls, since we're saving you so much time.

Time wise it's not a big deal, I agree on that, but multiply this by 20+ items and it fast becomes a really tedious task

Dibs on your next
