Hello geekfolk!

I'm having trouble putting images in my posts. I click the insert images thingy and copy and paste the URL but it shows up in posts as a little blue question mark box. What am I doing wrong?

example:

Thanks in advance for your expertise!

because what you are posting is not a url for an image, it's the url a for google preview of an image.

get the actual url of the image and use that instead.

click at the side of the google page where it says 'see full size image'. that will take you to the actual image.

Right click the picture then select Copy Image Location (It will be something similar if you don't use Win7) Then select the image icon as you were doing, right click and Paste.

Thanks betenoire and Midnight! Such helpful and speedy replies. I'll try once more...

YAY!

Glad to be of help

Either I've lost my mind, or everyone's signature pics have vanished....and are only showing as the website link.

Please tell me I'm not crazy....well crazier than I already suspect I am anyway.

Not crazy. I did some modifications. Technically, regular members weren't supposed to have the ability to have signatures at all (see here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/inde...=subscriptions --> Signature ability shouldn't show up until BFP Supporter II). I didn't completely remove that but slightly modified it to take away some of the more "advanced" options.

So, does this mean as a Sentinel member that I can't have a pic in my signature?
Sorry....I'm confused....it's been a long day.

Scuba · 01-26-2012, 08:16 PM

My question is the same as above....confused as well

I can't seem to get either the web site link or an upload to work.

Basic members cannot.

Anyone that is BFP Supporter II and above can. I double checked and Sentinel members do have that ability.

Then it's busted....cuz I'm a Sentinel member...and the pic isn't showing.

i had a picture in my sig line and today it stopped working. i had to upload the picture from my hard drive and it worked that way. using a picture from photobucket didn't work. guessing that applies to any other website photo.

yep, mine reverted to the link just like yours did Jo.

Admin · 01-26-2012, 10:12 PM

Jo - your image should be working now. Can you see it?

I tried what Handsome Devil suggested and that worked. I haven't tried posting one from a website though.

I'm good....and thankful I didn't break something

...thank you!

Admin · 01-26-2012, 10:21 PM

Ok - You will find that any images uploaded directly to the site under signatures no longer work. All images in signatures will need to be hosted elsewhere like Photobucket.

I tweaked the options in the back and am doing a backup right now. I think some of our options got wonky in the last few days because we definitely don't have the space to host signature photos.

Let me know if the links don't work when uploaded to Photobucket!

Hey

I haven't been able to load the "What made you today?" thread all evening. I don't seem to have any problems with any threads but this one. It tries to load, but then I get an error page that reads:

Quote:

This webpage has a redirect loop

The webpage at http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...=698&page=2761 has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Learn more about this problem.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

I deleted cookies, cache, etc, all to no avail, so I thought I'd bring it up here in case there's a little glitch or something tech-ish that is the problem, or if it is still just me and I need to do something else to fix it on my end.

Thanks!

I am also getting the same exact error when I try to go to that particular thread as well

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

... is what I get

ETA: Can't access the last page of the "cinefiles" thread either... it redirects me back to the page before the last... so yeah, dunno.
