Quick posting question

Post by PowerChucker » Thu Dec 01, 2022 10:33 am

Hi All, Im sorry to have to ask this, but am I doing something wrong? I just posted a watch review in the reviews forum, and used the IMG tags for a ton of pics, however none of the pics are showing up, just broken links.. I have the pics hosted on Imgur.com, I see lots of other posts with pics in them so im guessing im doing it wrong?

I had the same issue last week with posting on the yellow watch thread. I assumed it was because my personal website where the pics reside is not a secure connection. I would think Imgur would have a secure location however. Hmmm....

I figured it out. I had to delete all the IMG code, and add them as inline attachments. now all of my review pics are working.

FWIW, in imgur go the image and click "copy" next to "bbcode". It's a slightly different url and includes the img tags, then you just paste it in to your post.

I’m not sure I know how to post pics anymore as it’s been a while. Testing. Image

BBCode (message boards & forums)
It will have links to use one above the one you want to copy and paste. If your using IMGUR
