    Images in posts

    Is there a way to display images in posts? I've definitely done it before, but the img tag doesn't seem to work now, it just displays a link.

    It depends which forum you're in.

    Scroll down to the bottom of the page and in the right hand corner it shows you which posting methods are available for that particular forum.

    For this particular forum we can do these things:

    You may post new threads
    You may post replies
    You may post attachments
    You may edit your posts

    BB code is On
    Smilies are On
    [IMG] code is On
    HTML code is Off
    Trackbacks are Off
    Pingbacks are Off
    Refbacks are On

    I think the image has to be a URL link.

    Let me try it....

    Re: Images in posts

    You can use this site if it's easiest, you just upload the image and link to it in the same post. However it's not a lot of use since you can't use it in the main forum

    Re: Images in posts

    I don't have a default image host site.

    I used to use TinyPic until they started filling the image link page with loads of ads.

    If anyone knows of a good FREE site that doesn't do that please let us know.

    Re: Images in posts

    Guys adding pics inline is usually done like this (if from your pc), to create a post go advanced, go to the attachment icon and upload your pic goadvanced.JPG, type your post and then go back to the icon and click the down arrow and select the pic goadvanced2.jpg now usually if they are within forum limits for size they will show inline

    Obviously there are alos the forum settinsg which may interfere with this, you can also try just copying and pasting in some instances.
    Not all forums are the same - seek and you shall find

    By the way your syntax was wrong

    you used back slash instead of forward slash.

    @ Simon

    I'm not being critical of the Forum but I'd like to know and you know how/why Forums do stuff.

    Why is it IMG Tags is on for some of our Sub-Forums and off for others?

    For example it's on for this Sub-Forum but off for the Programming Sub-Forum (at least on my platform)...

    Re: Images in posts

    It's down to how the "tech team" have the particular forum settings set, or they may have a modification to manage images which needs to be set up better or another modification which isn't written well and is interfering with how the forum runs.

    Sorry, best answer I can give without checking settings....etc

    In case anyone's interested, here's a quick stab at a chrome extension that enables you to view images in posts where the img tag is disabled. It seems to work well in my extremely limited testing
