Help with photos
Posted by umiami91 on Saturday, February 11, 2006 8:51 AM
Hello,

I am a longtime forum member from the old days and now I can't seem to post photos. Is there a setting on my account that needs to be changed because every time I try and put up a pic, it doesn't show up. It shows fine in preview, but for viewing the forum it is bad. See below for what happens:

Please help!
Thanks,
Mike Dahlstrom

Hmmm, I see what you mean. Your code looks fine in edit mode but shows up all wrong in posted mode. For some reason it changes from the standard image tags to <ing src=" & " border="0" /> instead. I edited the coding to have [ img ] & [ /img ] bracketing the basic  image link. This should work!



edit Okay, that worked for me. Now why didn't it work for you? I can see your coding is fine in edit mode, and indeed it shows up in the quoted text. Why would it convert to something wierd in your post? I can only assume that you are using a Mac and for some reason the code gets confused coming to the dark side. It appears to be happening to your avatar as well.

I use Photobucket for pic hosting. They provide a cut and paste code that works everytime, at least for me.

David Voss, if you are reading this, any ideas? /edit

So long folks!
