UNEXPLAINED LINKS IN INITIAL POST
Posted by waynec on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 10:08 AM

i created a new group build (2015 IRON RAILS) and i listed the members name, what he is building, and a picture of the kit below. i did NOT assign any links to the text (which is in green for some reason) but each line of text has a link to my photobucket page. how do i get rid of this? thanks.

Without divulging any sensitive info that identifies accounts, etc, is there an explanation available to us, so no one else has this happen?  Or is it unavoidable in the current forum software, and can only be remedied by an administrator?

Thanks!

Brad, It's no secret, just a glitch in the way Photobucket in particular copies image addresses. Here's what I told Wayne:

It's a problem we see occasionally with copying IMG codes from Photobucket and other posting site. The trick is to remove the [URL] section form the copied link. Leave everything between and .

Cheers, Aaron

and you'll know it worked because the text under the pictures will be black not green.

Ah, thanks, Aaron!  I wanted to make sure I didn't run into it, too, but yep, I use Photobucket and I saw that, too.  I think I first saw it after the last software upgrade.

See, here's why I asked, I knew I'd need to do this myself, the next time I posted any pics!  I have to correct this in my Nitto AFS thread in the Sci-Fi forum.
