Issues posting images

[mercurymang]

Anyone else having issues posting images. When I click on insert image, the screen grays out as if it's displaying a modal window but i never get the pop-up. Have to hit the back button and get out.

Is this an issue with the upgrade?

Pic posting has become problematic. If you're using Photobucket to host your pics, just click on IMG and paste into the message box. Then you won't get
ed next time.

I use google to host so it's basically the same thing. The problem is that I click on the image but I never get the message box to paste into. I'm going to try to html it.

Are you selecting Copy Image or Copy Image Location when you right click on a pix. I used to be able to select copy image & just paste it into my posts, but for the last several months I've been selecting Copy Image Location, and pasting that url/html code into my posts and simply add
[/B]

before the code and

[B]

after the image location code and the iboats server finds & posts my pix from the other server.

This is all done IN your post/reply window, not an image specific message box. If you use the iboats image icon, you're posting pix as attachments, not imbedding them in your posts.

2 other forums I use aren't as user friendly, esp re: pix, and that's how I have to post pix on their sites, and it's just easier to use the same method here @iboats. AND it keeps other peoples boats or images/info I post for others from filling my photobucket acct.

Yeah. I have been using Photobucket since "Day-1" for image posting on every forum site I use. I always maintain complete control of the pictures that way and they're never "uploaded" to the site I post to.

The post link looks like the following (MINUS the "hash-tags"):

[#IMG]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a317/nixypixy07/flange_zps735c634a.gif[/IMG#]

Like jbcurt00 said, all you do is (right-click) copy the link (from the hosting site) and paste it into your message text as you type.

You can also do the same basic thing in any normal email sent to someone. The advantage of sending someone a link (in an email) is you don't actually send the file in the body of the email which keeps the file size much smaller.

It was more of a problem when people had slow dialup connections. Trying to open an email with a HUGE file attached made it look like the connection failed while it was downloading the attachment! If you made the attachment a file "link" then the recipient didn't download the attachment until they actually "clicked" on it. (THEN it took for ever!!!)

It's still a problem (less of though) with the really slower DSL connections.

No Title

How are you trying to post images? it works fine for me.

 

[GA_Boater]

Toneeees - If I might make a suggestion because there are so many posts filled with photo icons and no pics. Create a non-Admin/Mod account and try to post a pic. If it works, how did you do it? I keep telling members to use Photobucket and paste the IMG code onto the post because it seems to be the only reliable method.

I used the paper clip lookin thing on the left corner of quick reply to post this image. I did find out that the advanced text editor image button does not work .
