Why can't I post pics?

[Bigelow Cartwheel]

Not the best place for it I grant you but trying to get a diary started and I find I can't post pics.

 

Anything I need to enable? I've already ticked the display pic box in my profile settings. I've posted a pic in here as a example and it's not showing for me.

 

Thanks for your help.

<p>Ahhh wait.</p><p> </p><p>

Is it because I'm a new member? If so, how long does that last?</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks.</p>

The new member thing wouldn't last aslong as 4 months I wouldn't have thought.

What service are you using to post the pictures? Imgur? Photo bucket?

You need to embed them into the text box via a link that'll be provided from wherever you've uploaded the picture too.

You can't post a picture directly from your computer onto the forum.

Thanks for the response. The image in the OP is from google images and the ones attempted in a diary were on ImgBB.

 

I use [*IMG*] [*/IMG*] without the *

The problem isn’t the forum, it’s the link you’re trying to use for the image. It goes to a 404 site not found page.

 

Create a free Imgur account and upload the photos there and then use those links.

I think it was stated somewhere that it's like 4 posts so that bots can't send ads

<p>Hi can I get some assistance please? I’m still unable to post pics.</p><p> </p><p>

I’ve tried 2 different hosting sites. ImgBB is used by one poster and Imgur was recommended by another. Neither work for me.</p><p> </p><p>

Is there anything in my personal settings that will restrict me posting pics?</p>

<p>OK, not sure why only tinypic is working for me but... it does.</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks for all the patient responses. </p><p> </p><p>

Anyone modding please feel free to delete this thread when convenient. Thanks.</p>

<p>You're not linking to the image itself, you're linking to the page it is hosted on instead which is why nothing is showing up. You're links should be ending in .jpg or .png, but only the one that is displaying does.</p><p> </p><p>

You should have an option within the hosting site to grab the direct link, but if not you just need to right-click on the image and go to Copy Image Address. Use that link instead e.g.</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="ETTZCce.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ETTZCce.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
