WTF is up with the attachments When you upload them, it just comes up with a link, not the picture.......whats the point of uploading them here if it wont post the picture?

I say that needs to be fixed since all the contributors have paid for the attachments feature....

 

they show up? in your thread i see them

 

i had to go back and add [img]....[/img] tags to the link provided in the attachemt portion......

 

Is it really a big deal if you have to add the IMG tags to see them?

 

ummm......what is the point of having attachments if we have to upload the pictures, click on the link, copy the address, and then post the IMG tags to the address

why not just upload them 1 time into photobucket and then copy that already tagged up link over?


i dont see why it can't be like it was before....there are other VBulliten boards that have that feature..

 

i will look into it.

and to the following:

ha

 

They work you just have to be logged in to see them. Otherwise, you'll just see the file name displayed.

 

unless its been changed, last time i saw them i just get the image title

 

Nope even if your logged in they don't work unless you put the links between tags

 

i was logged in when i posted the attachments......still didn't see them....

 

Worked the other day for me...

 

I think I've got it partly figured out. It has to do with the file name.

If I use a program that rescales the images and it produces a complex file name like "2008-02-12 (Medium) 01.jpg" then it will not display usually. If I rename the file "picture1.jpg" then it displays automatically.

Something in the code is parsing the long file names and getting confused and failing to see that it's a .jpg somehow. The old board didn't do that -- but this one does.

The solution for now is to rename your attachments before uploading them with a simple name. That's what I'm doing now to get them to show up.

 

I bet if theres a space in the file name its not displaying them. Time for a test.

 

Ok the space doesnt affect anything lol. I have no clue why these aren't displaying.

 

Change it to an old style 8.3 file name like glacier2.jpg and see what happens. I think all the ones I did were 8 characters or shorter in the name portion when they worked.

 

Nope...

 

i fixed it. it was showing links when there was more than one attachment present.

it's fixed now.

 

Ha ha. Well there's a bunch of posts with double pictures now, lol.

 

thanks!
