Need Image Posting Help

harasha

As per my prior posting, I am unable to post an image, though there was no problem prior to the update.

How do I report the problem to the administrator?

You could perhaps try PM-ing one of the mods like Sportsmoderator1 or CarolJ, though I don't even know how much of a presence they are on the forums anymore. And the people who work with this site may have their hands full.



There is a master thread for issues with the new forum posted on the Liteside. I'd say post your issue there, for starters.







Edit- here's that list. It had sunk back a ways. Hopefully people are having less problems overall.

Thank you, LM. I sent an email to Sportsmoderator1. I played around with some suggestions, but they did not work.

I also copied the image address on an older posting and not only did that not work, but it appears that the address got mangled in the process.

We'll see.

Can you show us the code you are getting instead of the picture??? It should be there for your edit.



I get a picture to post with regular HTML ,



example,,, I changed the "M" to "N" inside the "[IMG]" for display purposes. If I changed them back a photo would be here.

Now I have to figure out why my sig line appears as it does.

Are all the pix you've tried to post hosted on the same site, just out of curiosity?



Have you tried posting or reposting one hosted on a different site?



Reason I ask is 'cause I wonder if the forum software suddenly developed an aversion to your hosting service?

I had a deuce of a time posting images to a Liteside thread on 1943 steel cents yesterday and got more

frustrated by the hour.

I could post an image to page 5 of the Testing forum but not page 1.

????

Now there's a headscratcher



In the end I found that there were addditonal letters added to the image link after ".jpg"

i.e. ".jpg~original"

Why this happened when posting to some threads and not others is a poser.

I am unable to copy the code. Whenever I do so, the Forum website converts it into something else.

Image posting is not functioning as it should.



Current problems they are working on...



- must have direct link that ends in a .jpg or .png or .gif, etc.... If your link does not end in that (e.g. a direct link, it won't work)



- must be http not https . So service like AWS, iCloud, Dropbox and every single other service that uses secure instead of insecure connections won't work.



I found posting.org -- posts that earlier -- it's free and I'm using it temporarily because I'm a Dropbox user and https links no longer work (at the moment...in queue to fix).

I could not copy the code. The Forum website keeps making its own interpretation. I also tried using the trick of changing the M to N.

That did not work either.



(Posted before I saw mercurydimeguy's posting). Flickr does use https.

link to Postimg.org



This will help you upload your pic and give you a direct http link.



One of many options... easy/peasy so I use it

Postimg just might do the trick. Thanks!
