[m11brd]

Just tried this by pasting an image http (from a hosting site)between the image brackets on my post but nothing coming up

Any ideas or suggestions

Im just testing adding a photo to my post by adding the BB code from imagebam...

I upload photos to Photobucket first, then paste the image code between img tags to get them into the post. Having said that, I've not found a way of doing this without first starting a post, saving it, then hitting modify in order to get to the full editing functions.

To quote from the Help page:-
"You can also insert images into your post using the following tags: img /img – Simply type the URL address (location) of your hosted image within the tags and it will appear in your post.

To successfully present the image in your forum posting, it must currently be hosted by an image host (Photobucket, Flickr, etc). Also, be sure to use the Direct URL or Direct Link provided by the image host typically located in their image share options."

Has anyone found another way?

Any other way of what? Hosting the images? or posting them up?

The picture above is hosted on my own website, and the image url

www.bxproject.co.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=77&g2_serialNumber=3&g2_GALLERYSID=baae60c77931398378877367904d77f0

is stuck between IMG tags;

I notice that this forum software isn't as strict as some which requires the URL to end in .JPG, .GIF, .BMP, .PNG etc

John, do you mean how do you start a post in full editor mode?



Or do you mean how do you put images in from quick reply?

To put images into quick reply you need to have the IMG tags directly in front and behind (is no spaces) the URL;

Nah, I just meant that I couldn't see how to get to the full editor in an existing thread as the only option offered is quick reply.
So being 'a bit thick', I've been starting off using quick reply, then hitting modify to get to the full editor options. Suppose now that I'm getting used to it, I could manually type the img tags, but by the time I get round to doing the next one, I'll have forgotten again. It's my age you know!! :-)
