Having trouble posting pics

Eeyore · April 22nd, 2009, 23:33

I can't seem to post pics in pm's or in threads. I have the photos on a myspace account and when I click the yellow icon that says insert image it prompts me for an address. I put in the address. But when I press submit I just get a square with a red x in it. Can someone educate me please.

Make sure the URL you're entering is the image itself, not the HTML page on MySpace.

If you right click the image, you should have an option to "Copy Image Location" or "Copy Shortcut" or something similar (entering that URL in the browser window should show you the picture, and only the picture). Thats the URL you want.

like this?

I still get the red square.

The correct format is:
[img]http://www.example.com/pictures/example.jpg[/img]

Make sure the URL you're pasting between the [img][/img] tags ends with the file type (ex: '.jpg' or '.gif') and you should be good.

I can' seem to get it. The images are on my myspace account. So on the right of the screen it says photos url. I copy that right? Then i click on the yellow icon when I post a message and enter the photos url. All I get is a red x. What gives?

Eeyore · April 23rd, 2009, 00:57

Ok what happens when the address on the myspace site does not end in .jpg?

KNIVEZS · April 23rd, 2009, 00:59

yeah probably thats the problem. its on myspace??

Eeyore · April 23rd, 2009, 01:01

Next attempt.

OK the same thing happens I now have the images on imageshack.com. I copy the link that is for forums and I still get the red x. Any ideas?

okay, for imageshack URLs, use the one they give you in the "Direct" line, i.e. for your last example

PHP Code:

Which will give you
