Pictures Not going into post - just links?

[Joe Mc]

In the thread linked here: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169729

I went to my gallery, found the pictures I wanted, clicked on "Forum Codes", clicked on the size I wanted, ctl-a & ctl-c, went back to thread ctl-v, and so forth for the 7 pictures. They showed up in thread pre-view but not when I submitted???

What did I do wrong?

Thanks

Where is the thread your talking about so that I can look at what you posted into it. You did include the img tags at the beginning and end of the code, right?

Steve - Sorry the "post" I started (not thread as if I replied to a post) is linked in my initial question post above your reply. Unless I missunderstood the instructions I "thought" I was able to go to my gallery, open an album on the bottom right below the picture(s) thereare [edit] | [delete] and [forum codes]. I click on "forum codes" then a window appears w/"Full Size Image" (320X240), (640X480) etc sizes - then in the instructions above it states: "If you would like to include a photo from your albums in a posting the message boards, copy the HTML code below (click on the code then press {Ctrl}A {Ctrl}C) and paste it in your message ({Ctrl}V). Code for both thumbnail and full size images are shown below. " I single clicked on 640X480 then ctl-a (which bolded the entire text/code) then I went to my post and type ctl-v to paste selected photos. All looked fine - the pictures appeared in the post preview but, when after I submitted the post only showed links to the pictures? Does this make sense or d oI have to manually type the code in?

Thanks

I edited your post and fixed the first picture. I'm guessing there must be a bug in the software. What editor are you using? Go to the user control panel and then click on edit options. Scroll down and you'll see what editor you are using. I use the standard editor with extra formatting and I was able to preview it and then submit it and it kept the proper codes in there. Let me know what editor you are using and I'll test it.

Steve - My selected Message Editor Interface is "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing". Should I change to standard? Or are you going to see if you can figure out what's happening? I'll leave things alone for now. It's never easy with my "What am I doing wrong this time questions - is it?"

I really appreciate all you do for us and this great site.

Thanks again.

Yep, it's a bug in the wysiwyg editor. I'm going to be upgrading the software in the not too distant future so I'm not going to take the time necessary to fix the bug - it would take a while. Just change your editor to the standard editor and you won't have that problem again. You can edit your post and make the rest of the picture links look like the first one and they'll come up fine.
