This is the only forum I can't post pictures in. Below is the result of me using the image tools provided by the site......



No picture, right? I click Img, copy the link and hit Img again. A few sites have a similar way of posting an image and it works just fine. What am I doing wrong?

I dunno, but it doesn't work for me, either, so it's not something in your personal settings here.



Your picture is fine; I was able to see it by cutting and pasting your link.

All I can tell you is that some sites don't allow hot-linking into them. They're the exception to the rule but they do exist. Maybe your pic hosting site is one of them.

Very odd. I just tried hot-linking your picture from another form and it worked fine.

Must be some glitch between this site and that one.

Yea, it's strange. I can post pictures from Imageshack onto every other gun forum on the net, except this one.

Your avatar works. Is it from a different photo service? If not, compare the two links and see what is different.

I think that the "=" sign in the embedded link is what is throwing it off....That is why the avatar is working, but not the other picture.

I dunno. I posted his link on another forum site and hit "Preview" (like here) and it showed just fine.

Near as I can tell, his avatar in on a completely different hosting site (juko). Maybe I'm not reading things right, though.

So can anyone post the link in my original post and produce a picture? I'm curious what needs to be changed in it to make the picture appear on this site.

Not sure what site my avatar is from since I've had it for awhile now but it's defiantly not Image shack.

I tried several different ways with no success. Only thing I could do would be to copy it to my Photobucket gallery and post it from there.

But you can start your own free Photobucket deal with about the same amount of trouble.
