Struggling with pictures again.

[martin_y]

Ok, I managed to get my 2 pictures up for my signature. They are linked to my photos in google.

But when I use exactly the same code in a post, the pictures dont show.

What exactly is the purpose of the Wrap IMG2 and WrapIMG01 buttons?

If I use the same code.....

so you see my roof rails now?

But I copy and past exactly the same code into a new thread in "General" and it doesnt show the picture, it only shows the url to the picture?

Confused!

Did some more testing.

The picture works here.

The picture works in
Club VR4 forums->General->Newbies area



The same code DOES NOT work in:

Club VR4 forums->General->General Chat
Club Vr4 forums->VR-4 Area->General.

ok, you've taken a picture of the roof rails, but your photography skills must be pretty good, you've made the car disappear!

I used that invisible material someone posted on here a day or 2 ago !

The previous site admin set the forums up in this way. the history behind this is that in a lot of the 'Techie' forums, we had lots of posts that had 'external' images within them - The problem was that after some time the images were deleted, or the image hosting account was abandoned, etc. etc. Net result was the same in that we had a lot of threads that became useless after a while because the piccies were missing. Hence most pictures are now hosted on CVR4 - Just use the CVR4 uploader - it's the red arrow next to the paperclip on the edit screen.:scholar:

Thansk Kieran.

So I will have to download to my PC, then upload again.

What's the carbon footprint of all that? :-)
