Thank you for the great replies. I will try that!

Was this issue ever resolved? because I'm having the exact same problem, except I'm using photobucket.

Any thoughts???

Which link are you using? I always use the one marked Direct Link from photobucket, and it works for me.

In reply to Valthronis (msg # 7):

It's not a problem with RPoL, it's an error with the way the address is being inserted which the destination doesn't like.  Not much we can do if the address isn't valid.

hmmm, are we sure?

I tested the same link on another forum and it works fine. Not sure whats up. I also tried using a different browser to no avail, and since its photobucket and they generate their own links, i'm not sure what to do.

Any thoughts?

What does it say from the side of the link you are picking from? Is it the Direct Link? Or one for email and such. There are normally four different options to pick from depending on where you are posting.

doesn't matter none of them really work like their supposes to. Although the direct image link gives me a 'page does not exist' warning. . . . despite the fact it should have the image in the post.

I test the same link on another forum and it works fine, with no issues.

rmail me the link, and I will check it out.

I got it.

Its odd. The links photobucket provide really dont work on these forums. I have re-code it by hand. Not a big deal really. They must use a different coding. The link itself is actually fine, its the tags around the link that dont work. It needs to be tagged and cant be used directly off of photobucket.

odd.

Ok good.

Nope it can't, that is why you need the direct link without any tags around it. And then add the tags RPOL uses for the link. How they do images is different then how RPOL does, if you were on a regular forum site they would probably work with the tags photobucket has. Which you said it did.

Yes, with Photobucket you have to use the 'Direct' option and code the image link around it, rather than use the 'HTML' or 'IMG' options.

Flickr is a pain for embedded images, since it works really hard to give you a link to the Flickr page rather than an image; selecting 'Download this image' and cutting-and-pasting one of the supplied links works, but it's a nuisance.

i'm having the same issue only the picture's i'm trying to link are from another game I run (which works) I've simply copied and pasted and doesn't work...

I use photobucket all the time and can verify it works fine... If you use the Direct link option. And while the quotes around the link might not be necessary, I run into fewer problems if I use them.

Lovely, be careful when you copy from one game to another. If you just select the link in the post it may not copy it correctly. You must click "edit" for the post to ensure that you are copying the entirety of the link with RPOL formatting. You might also be able to right-click it and select "copy link location", but then you'll only get the link and not the RPOL formatting.

yeah, I've been going into the edit form of the thread to copy and paste, I've tried a new image and typing out the whole code for it and it doesn't work either I think i'm going to delete my game and remake it as its brand new and only has one thread, will report back if it corrects itself...

update: seems to only not work while aligning the image to either left or right....

Ah!  Align left is standard, no code needed. Align center or right should look like this:

<img src="http://www.image.com/picture.jpg" align="right">

Quotes around the alignment direction are -- as far as I know -- mandatory.

I believe center is < center> img </center>

Don't know if that works, but changing "right" in the above example to "center" should.

I believe either spelling of centre/center will work.

Yeah its still not working and every is spelt correctly with appropriate quotations =( I've been successfully using alignments for the past few years not sure why its suddenly causing grief now

I'll check it in one of my games if you rmail it to me.

Or rMail a link to your game to the Moderators, and one of us will take a look at it.

Actcherly ... I don't think center/re is an available option on RPoL ?

FAQ (General RPoL Information | RuBB Code Tips & Tricks | Images) says left or right only:


I tested in my game and both left and right work, but centre or center don't.

Could you put in a 3 column table and put the image in the centre cell ?

center is < center> img </center> for me in my games.

And silverelf is absolutely right !  As you already said further up, I note, but the context didn't register for me the first time. Repetition is the key !  <grins>

Sooo ... align="centre" option on img code doesn't work, but general centre tag (as you'd put around text) does.  And it works with centre as well as center. :>

<centre><img src="http://beta.rpol.net/images/banner-light-beta.gif"></centre>
