Title: Posting Pic Problem Post by: sgo on May 16, 2004, 07:29:52 PM When using the photobucket URL such as
http://img54.photobucket.com/albums/v164/sgomachen/CAR%20PICS/fc_wag_redback.jpg you can link to the pic. But if i use the same URL in the "insert image" button to post an image, it doesn't come up in the post . (http://img54.photobucket.com/albums/v164/sgomachen/CAR%20PICS/fc_wag_redback.jpg) Anyone got any ideas?

Then, when you do the image thing make sure you replace %20 with a proper space. That's how I did it anyway.

Thanks for that, it does work. Title: Re: Posting Pic Problem Post by: customFC on May 17, 2004, 10:34:28 AM Stinky.
You little ripper. I have opened a photobucket but was very disappointed that I could not post the pics here. They worked everywhere else, but not here. Your tip means I don't need to use Starphoto. Many many thanks.

Also, there seems to be a bug in YaBB that I haven't quite figured out that causes image names with more than one hyphen in them to not display properly. Maybe it has a similar conniption over embedded spaces. In any case, if you can stick to a naming convention like this: "MyGreatFCPic.jpg" (with no spaces, or other punctuation marks) you shouldn't go too far wrong. <trivia> On the off-chance you're interested %20 means space because otherwise unprintable characters in URLs are shown as %nn, where nn is the hexadecimal (base-16) number of that character. Space is decimal (ASCII) character number 32, which is 20 in hex. </trivia> cheers %52%45%54 ;D |
