MyBB Community Forums

Hi,
On my forum users sometimes post links to images which do not show up at once. You first have to go to those pictures (on their external site) for it to show.

Is there anything I can do about that in the settings, except telling the members to host them theirselves?

This image is an example of one: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5471/...nkton5.jpg (here as url, to limit bandwith of users)

Thanks in advance for possible answers.

I'm not understanding.. Are you wanting the images to display in the post?

[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5471/2379/1600/Plankton5.jpg[/img]

Yes, the picture should be displayed in the post.
The [ img ] code is used, but the images do not show up.

the link i gave is a direct copy from one of the images one of the members posted. He had included the [ img ] [/ img ] as should be done. Though, none of the images were showing in his post.
In Internet Explorer you get the "red cross" image, in Firefox nothing is shown at all.

in short: the code [ img ] does not show the images.

That's not a MyBB problem. Most likely a problem with the remote host, the img tag works perfectly fine here: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=13845

well, actually that's not true.
Clear your cache and go to the thread you just made to test.
No image is shown. It's only shown because it is in your cache.

Umm.. Dude. It works fine here, after a hard refresh and even clearing my cache..

It's a problem with your image host. When I go directly to http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5471/...nkton5.jpg, it says "Forbidden"

Remember the img tag only works if the image exists and is in working condition.

Example:

Dennis, take the comma out of the url.

The image do not exists even without the ',', it just shows a Forbidden, Error 403. This explains the 'red x' instead of the image.

This is a problem with your image uploader not MyBB.

Did you see the image I posted in the same thread? 'Cause I do not see any. Though, when I check the url, they do exist.
