Pictures Not Displaying

I am wondering if the picture img code has been disabled? I pasted a url into a post on one of the boards here at FF and made sure that the link had brackets with img inside. However, instead of the actual picture being displayed the link is visible. I clicked on edit to make sure that it was showing img in brackets and noturl. It was showing img. Are we no longer allowed to post pictures?

Pictures are still allowed. I'm thinking that site doesn't like hot linking.

This is the picture I tried to post. I don't understand why it won't show up. I've seen pictures posted here before from the same website.

I htink there is a problem with the picture itself as in the hosting site not allowing linking.

I think the problem is that FF doesn't like your URL, because it has a ? in it (this is used to supply parameters to a webpage).

For instance, if I link to my avi as I would normally, I get:


But if I change the URL slightly to look like yours, I get:
http://www.fanforum.com/images/custo...tar2_1.gif?x=x

Both links are valid, but I suspect FF interprets the second one differently than the first for security reasons.

That's exactly the problem. Getty only allows the images to be viewed once they are in your computer's cache. If it gets cleaned out or they change the URL in anyway, it will not appear.

You will have to first get it uploaded to a server, or a free image hosting site, then use image tags. [img]url here[/*img] without the *.

i've always been able to post pictures to fan forum until today.....my isp gives me a free web site with so much space for storage...and i'm still able to hot link to other forums besides fanforum with no problem............so what's up?


edited to say...i found out the problem..it works now....



without img brackets it would look like this
http://home.earthlink.net/~mukooh/GuysDolls.jpg


the reason it wouldn't work was because the image function doesn't like the & sign....as in the below listed example....
