Some other forums will not accept a hot link image in the form of:
http://www.truckandcamper.com/attachment.php?aid=2 - instead, they require a link to a .jpg image.
Where do I find the actual .jpg image in MyBB when I can't use the ?aid=xxxx format?
actual link is not easily available. instead, you can save that image in your computer and upload it somewhere (eg. imgur.com) to use
Thanks for the answer. I guess then that this is an unsolvable problem.
Since many users wish to hot link off my forum images for use in other sites - it cripples the useage. Lame?
I would upgrade the forum software if this problem ever gets fixed.
does this work?
http://www.truckandcamper.com/attachment...ything.jpg
if not, you could do a rewrite in .htaccess
RewriteRule ^aid-([0-9]+)\.jpg$ attachment.php?aid=$1 [L,QSA]
and then use truckandcamper.com/aid-2.jpg
Note that this kind of hotlinking can put a lot of strain on your site, and cause tons of traffic if someone uses "your" image at some high traffic site...
