Question Linking pics

Question?

Once pics have posted posted you cannot repost because of storage and what not. You are supposed to link them. Why is it that when you link to them using *img* all you get is the words and not the pic?

I have also attempted at times to upload new pics only to find out that MBworld times out somehow (pic size didn't matter; small or large). Yet when I retry it tells me I already posted it but it never shows the newly created and posted thread.

Interesting because I have been experiencing that for a while already.

I am never able to post a picture for some reason. First it says the image was too big (800 by 600 max), then i cant even post it because it says it has already been posted . I even change the name and it doesnt work.

Admins, can this be fixed?

Okay, now that time it worked but I swear it never works any other times.

Here, I'll try it again...

Here is what I just got but the thread / reply doesn't show up anywhere.

*You have already attached this image to a post. Please refrain from uploading duplicate images. If you need to refer to this image it can be found in this thread:*

I think there are still some bugs.

I know the answer to that problem
At one time it was fixed on the forum but I guess it has become unfixed



Notice that if I exactly copy the link of an image hosted on MBworld.org, it does not show:



But if I do a few modifications in the address it should work



I had inserted this:
https://mbworld.org/forums/attachment.php?postid=539680

Instead of this:
https://mbworld.org/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=539680

Notice the missing s=&

lot less fun

No offense to those who so graciously provide us with this toybox, but I find this place a lot less fun now that the photos have become so difficult to post

Thanks. I'll fax you a cookie.

I think this got broken when the forum went down. Maybe they haven't applied all patches and updates?

Thanx. Now all we need to figure out is the upload of pics issue?

Agreed. Level the playing field and give us good guidance / rules.

One of my pics I resized to 1/3 of the size and renamed it and it got kicked out as a duplicate.

You think they maintain a list of WORST OFFENDERS

There are forum board modifications out there that purposely cause random "problems" for a specific user. :o :o

Trying to get yourself banned?!?!?

You know those guys work hard, and that server space is not infinite, just as bandwidth costs are not minimal.

You're getting cynical and bitter in your old age....I think I like you better now

But.....none of them seem to be monitoring this thread. Maybe it is time for a N.B. picture to get some attention.

You have a webserver, why don't you host your pics and then link to them.
