img tags not working for me (1 Viewer)

[Rahul]

it doesnt seem to be working for me.

have any sections of the bored disabled them?
nonetheless, i tried it in 'school', where others had posted pics and used the img tags, and it didnt work for me.

Isn't it just: [ img = / insert link / ] [ img ]? I don't know then!

 

[Rahul]

yeh...i have used it before without any problems.

use the quickquote to see my tags in my first post, i tried to make it work there.

i think it doesnt work when you do it with av's cos there's no .jpg or .gif tag at the end

hmmm strange but IMG is on


Perhaps the IMG Tag function cannot detect the actual link to be a direct link to an image file, and instead it parses it as a URL.

Well some forums have it disabled so you cannot do it.

Such as the IT Stuff.

Non School one works.

I could have told you that, Rahul.

Adding Images
To include a picture or graphic within the body of your message, you can simply surround the address of the image as shown here:

[ img]http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/images/communitylogo.gif[/ img]

Note that the http:// part of the image URL is required for the code.

You can even create a thumbnail-type hyperlink by surrounding your [img] code with a [url] code like this:

[url =http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/images/communitylogo.gif][img]http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/images/vb_bullet.gif[/img ][/ url]

This produces a link like this: [url=http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/images/communitylogo.gif][img]http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/images/vb_bullet.gif[/url]

yep i got it now.

another question then, how can i show a pic i have uploaded to the forums?
i remember doing them before, but now i cant.

if you cant understand what i mean:
1. upload pic
2. copy link location of the pic
3. put it in the img tags
4. @#$@$#@!! [doesnt work]

like i said, i remember doing this before...

Your steps look fine to me.

I usually don't eat up BOS bandwidth and host my graphics on another webpage provider and link back to BOS using IMG tags.

If you wanted to however:
- Upload/attach the picture to BOS.
- Go back to your post (you'll be taken back)
- Copy the link location of your attachment
- Edit your post and insert IMG tags, linking to your attachment.

I never do it (takes too much effort hehehe, I'd rather upload them elsewhere and link back to it), but I've done it before and it works.

yep, thats exactly what i do. the link location of the image however is like the link of my avatar in my first post. it doesnt end with .jpg or .gif.
why is it different now? could it be becasue of the change in servers?

 

[Huy]

I have no idea as to how this board operates (I'm not a webpage tech).

But couldn't you host your avatar elsewhere and re-link it back, each time you want to use it? I don't know... sorry.

 

[Rahul]

it isnt for my avatar as such...not really a big issue. just that it worked before. maybe one of the admins will come on and help clear it up.

 

[Dash]

I don't think you can do it anymore...

Only if you have it saved somewhere else on the net can u make it show up in your post...

yeah, i think the servers are running out of hard disk space, to store everyones avatars.

edit: try uploading ya images to that "blizzard" thingo which winston pointed out on the other forum, and link it to that.
