Posting of Pic's? Now just how did that go?

Post by MikeVictor » Wed Oct 10, 2007 5:39 pm

OK, I"ve tried to remember, but can't.

Just how do you manage to post pictures in the message body or the signature block?

I looked at the FAQ, not enough info for me.

I have tried puting a URL to a publically avaialable photo site (Flickr) and have tried bracketing it with [img]and[/img] and without that BBCode.

No can do. I can add a link and it can be selectd to show the picture, I just can't get the picture to show up in the message.

Regardsamundo,

Mike

A common problem (at least for me) was forgetting to delete the [img]before%20and%20after%20the%20link.%20Sometimes%20two%20sets%20show%20up%20and%20you%20have%20to%20delete%20a%20pair%20(before%20and%20after%20the%20link)%20e.g.%20[Img][img]XXXXXXX[/img][/Img] you just need one pair e.g. [img]XXXXXXX[/img] for it to work. I hope this was the problem.

try to post the image... someone will be able to show you then exactly what is wrong with the way you are tagging it, or the path being used.

Actually, that isn't the flickr link, geocities instead. But neither have worked.

Did you paste the image link or the url link from your image hosting site? The image link may be the correct one to use. Just fishing here. Another thing- did you press the Img tab on this site before and after?

Yeah, you´re right, m8! Try to convert it into .jpg, .png, or .gif somehow ...

Good luck, MV! :)
