Comment on Why does the URL field not do anything?

I think the idea is that the image comes from the URL. If you have both an image and a URL, then you effectively have two URLs, and the post can only lead to one place.
If you wanted both, I guess you’d have to put one in the post, and one in the body (as an inline image, or a clickable link to what you’re posting about)

Yeah I mean that makes sense and follows how reddit functions, I think the UI could do with some reworking or clarification on that though. I’m surely not the only one to be confused by it. Ultimately if it lets you fill in 4 boxes and submits fine with no errors, its a little strange that one of the boxes doesn’t do anything.
