trying to post pics of 'my stuff'.. but failing...

darrin hill

this has always worked, until now... dont know whats wrong...

i uploaded my images to photo bucket... there's a box to the right with different links to the photos that u can cut and paste in the 'optional image url' box when posting in wc...

so i have always clicked on the link, copied it, and pasted it in the box...

now its saying i have to have a jpg file, which it already is.... and sometimes i get a message saying 'program error'...

so i can copy the link, and i can paste it in the box when posting a thread, but it wont work...

any clue?

darrin,

I don't have a fix but some questions.

Was the JPG prepared in the same way as previous images, with the same software? Anything recently changed on your computer?

Did you try one that worked in the past to see if it still works?

And just curious, what is the pixel size (x and y) of the JPG in question?

I tried three different images (JPG, PNG, and GIF) using the optional image URL box and they all worked. (This is the first time I've tried that option.)

I tried pasting the link to one JPG directly in-line in the message (I put HTML "img" open and close tags around it) and it worked too:


Did you try just uploading the image directly with the "Upload embedded file:" feature instead of referencing it with a URL? You have to keep the file 100K or less.

If you want, I'd be glad to do some tests from here if you email the image and the photo bucket URL.

(using the optional image URL feature:)

Right click on the image and paste that URL into your post.
