No Image

Herr Mullaney et. al.

I just tried to load my first image. I have the image on our website and the link from our website pasted into the IMG box and I'm getting nothing but white box with an x. Am I doing something wrong? I'm sure I am since this is my first image. Lend a hand if you can, yon soldiers.

Put a link to the thread where you are trying to post a link and I'll let you know what is wrong.

hmm.. you gave me a link that doesn't work that's on a different site altogether.

Give me a link to the thread on this site where you were attempting to include an image.

There's the IRC link. I had the same problem you did getting to the page via the link I provided. But I had no problem accessing it from the e-mail that Moynihan sent me (he is our webmaster).

I'm confused by shiny objects.

macoule, you posted the link to an html file instead of the actual "jpg"...in order for an image to show up on here you have to paste the link to the actual image file.........and even though you shrunk the image on the website, the size of the image won't change when you post it....you'd have to resize the actual image in photoshop or something, upload it and then paste the direct link to the jpg.

If you ever want to post an image that's already on the web (and you use a PC) right click the image and click on "Properties". Where it says "Address/URL" in the window that pops up, you will see the actual address of the image. Copy and paste that, and you're in the game. Make sure the address ends with a ".gif", ".jpg" or another image file type. If it ends in a number or ".html" it is a formatted page and the image is just a part of that page.

Thanks guys. Today, I am a wiser man.

And thanks Andy for posting the image for me.

Or you can right click on the image and select 'copy image location'.

this may be just an NT feature but you may be using NT so it may be useful.
