if anyone reads this, I am diagnosing the issue we're having with linking pics to the forum. This should be deleted before you get a chance to reply anyway ....

Pic 1 - Using "Insert Image

Adam · « **Reply #1 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:01:19 PM »

That works, try the pics posted by ann or me recently

rebel · « **Reply #2 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:02:40 PM »

Geez, you're quick mate ....

Adam · « **Reply #3 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:03:18 PM »

And u need a clear cache too, becasue if open the pic on a seperate browser, u will then see the posted pic in the forum- strange

rebel · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:07:36 PM »

It's not a cache issue .... the location of Pic 1 is on the net globally available to any browser. Once that browser loads the image it'll be placed in cache and subsequent view will be quicker.

Pic 2 - as above

Pic 3 - taken from a directory on my C drive and uploaded to the forum server. Again it's globally available and copied to cache to make subsequent loads faster.

There's no problem for me .... you try ... use the "Insert Image" method and "Insert hyperlink" on the same url.

I see ....

just type the url in without using the tools, no brackets or code, just the url

Adam · « **Reply #7 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:12:40 PM »

there u go, that link is correct, but the pic doesnt show up. If i load the pic in another browser and refresh the form, it will work, but as soon as i delete my local cache, and refresh its gone again. Basicly If anyone hasnt loaded this pic b4 it wont load

Doesn't make sense, no one's loaded my images before I posted 'em and they're visible to all. As are Brutus's and the miriad we've been placing recently .... hmmm

Use the URL function this time .....

Adam · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:17:23 PM »

rebel · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:18:19 PM »

adam, OK so the URL (or Insert Hyperlik) function worked for you yeah ... ?

Adam · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:21:06 PM »

I am able to do it, but if i click on it from the forum, i get a forbidden. But if i copy and paste the same addy onto another browser window, i get the pic

Adam · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:22:18 PM »

Maybe some web sites have it set up that thir files will not work if they r reffered to from another site ie the forum.

is that possible?

rebel · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:25:03 PM »

yes, I get forbidden too .... that pic is wild by the way, it looks like a tarantula ...

It is possible to set up restriction so that only traffic from certain areas enters your network. Redirected traffic, such as that from a forum could, theoretically be blocked but it's rare and the hosting co would have to be pretty paranoid about hackers .... try another link! again use Img and URL methods ...

Adam · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:27:20 PM »

yeh, ill try another pic of it

that car can go 0-100 in 3.2 sec btw
