I've tried posting images on the forums but they don't show up for some reason.I've put one in my signature as an example.I can post link but not photos.Does anyone know why?

Hello
Your picture files need to end in .jpg. .gif or .png. Instead of using Dropbox, it may be good to instead upload the photos to a image sharing site such as imgur.

ForgottenPixels

ill try that.

ForgottenPixels

thanks
Edit: I spent about 3 hours trying to figure this out.

rosemow

You're welcome

ForgottenPixels

@rosemow It's not working now for some reason.

Helo
Are you able to still post pictures in the normal forum threads, that don't include a link to another site?

ForgottenPixels

i'll try.


I guess that's a yes. But when I try linking it it just disappears.

Example:



P.S I thought i'd put it here instead of creating another thread for something similar.I'll rename it in a second

@Bugsie2016 I've seen the same thing, only pictures with a link are affected. Remove the link on your pictures.

rosemow

Other simmers are having issues also. It is because each time when you click the link that leads to an external site , a " leaving this site" message page comes up first. This is causing issues with linked pictures.

ForgottenPixels

Thanks. I guess i'll just put a link below the pic for now

Hej @rosemow I am having this problem as well, I just noticed it in my sig but when I went into an old thread to look at photos I posted those too were missing, is this something the forum has just changed?

Hello
When you click on a link to take you an external site, another " leaving this site" page appears. I think that may be causing the issues.

I've just started having this issue with my siganture with the image breaking and had to seperate the link for now until it's fixed.

Thanks for the response @rosemow I noticed that in my sig, the strange thing is that this seems new as I had always posted my photos using the same site, do you have any suggestions as to another site without this problem?

The issue has just started today,and I think that it may be affecting all external sites. It may perhaps be altered by tomorrow? Perhaps just wait and see what happens over the next day or so.

Again thanks for your quick reply, I will just wait and see as I don't post that many photos here but I do like my signature and hope I can put it back soon.

Hello
Imgur is still working if you would like to post pictures without clickable links. I have posted pictures today using that site and they are appearing.

I've got no links on my forum post pictures as I get them from view all sizes in Flickr with the size I want posted selected before copying the image location to get the link.

Same. Take the URL coding off from both sides of the IMG part after you copy it here and it should work.

Anyone know how to fix gifs. I'm posting them as pictures but when I go back to my post they come up as writing. e.g

Hello
The forum censor is substituting the name of the site where you are getting the gifs from. Try getting the pictures from another site and see if that helps.

@rosemow thanks i'll try that.
