Laziness or Necessity?

Okay this is weird...

Using test account on IE8 the posted images begin to draw out but then disappear. In FireFox I can see the IE8 posted images correctly....

So test account working... sort of

[Fire$torm]

JPM, try FF in safe mode ---> Win Start Button > Run > c:\<wherever-FF-folder-is-located>\firefox.exe --safe-mode
Then log into test account and try again.

Other things to look at: Firewall and Anti-Virus rules for your browsers.

I've had this happen on Firefox many times. I've attached images, clicked Preview and the images shows up as expected. Click submit and the image(s) are suddenly replaced with links. For example: http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...ll=1#post69506 and this one with 2 images: http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...ll=1#post69839

That's under 100kB of course. Over 100kB i get nothing.

So... [img]some-url-dot-com[/img] turns into [url]some-url-dot-com[/url] ????

I know what you're really up to JPM. No free crunching for you.

Correct. But only sometimes. And this occurs when using the "Insert Image" tool button.
Edit: The images those links link to are all in my attachments list.

Re-edit: If you goto those posts and click "Reply with quote" you'll see they are in fact listed as attachments in the message code, but only show up as links.

Re-re-edit: I'm in ff safemode right now. Just tried to attach a 151kB file and nothing. No errors, just nothing.
Here is my attempt at a dropbox image in safemode:



@Z-TAC: BUT I SWEARZ!!! Iono who that test guy is! ;(

hehe

As you can see, there's no image at all in the above post. But if you click "Reply with quote" you can see that there are in fact IMG tags in the message with a link to an image that works 100% fine everywhere else.

Ahhhh.... Insert tool SUCKS!!!. I add my image tags manually. never fails that way.

Try it manually please.

I think I've found part of your problem.

Okay, when using DropBox you have to place images into C:\Dropbox\Public\some-image-dot-jpg

For Dropbox, non-public links only take you to DropBox's on-line folder view.


Edit:

Here is the public URL of your pic I DL'd and put in my Public folder https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3595745/QXvUnUwqiXKep8ke3ZS1Hc_T9uxAM1cBowCKXB_VZcE.jpg
