why aren't images showing up?
« on: March 28, 2004, 10:31:04 pm »
when i try to post a new image, they don't show up... see, like this:



am I doing something wrong?
"i'm willing to do anything
to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

it might be cause there is something in the http:---------lalalblahlballha.com/slkjasdksdf that breaks the [img] code thingy!

Due to some creative abuse of the img BBCode which was diccovered by the authors of the forum software, images are currently restricted to the following extensions: jpg, jpeg, gif, png.  If the img tag doesn't end with that, and has anything else after it, it'll just be printed verbatim.  Reading up on the whys of this change, I do have to agree with it.  We can add additional extensions if needed, but I do have to concur with the developers on this adjustment: it makes sense.

Tech explanation of the why of the change:
Code: [Select]
[img]http://forumname.com/forum/login.php?logout=true[/img]

That little snippet in someone's img tag would just spit out a broken image tag, and also log the viewer out of the forum.  Not exactly a desirable effect.  This is just one of the tamer possibilities available, I can think of much more interesting end-results.

Yah
I have no idea what you mean
But my image used to have .gif at the end, so it should be ok then, no?

edit: Nevermind, I fixed mine now.
