Jony_RocketInMyPocket 172 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I'm a noob to posting and everytime I want to add a picture to my posts I use the image option where I input the photo url, BUT when I see my post, it doesn't show the actual photo just the url. What am I doing wrong? Edited August 6, 2012 by Jony_RocketInMyPocket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beloozero 118 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Make sure the image is there when you post the link. If it's an external source, you may have been unlucky enough to have it deleted by the author. Edited July 31, 2012 by Beloozero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyl3nt 125 Posted July 31, 2012 I've been through a similar issue when the forum changed from it's old format to this new one. It seems that any external link will show as just that, a link. No bbcode / html / whatever, works. The only way to get it to display that I have found is to add it as an attachement / Your media. Which is really a pain, as if your anything like me, I have a stack of "forum images" already hosted on my own web server.But I digress. That's the way to get it to work now : Works with .gif aswell (apparently) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
