Posting photos

[chris w]

Slight aside.

 

I have been trying to post a couple of images (jpegs) by using the "img" BB code.

 

I keep getting the error message "Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed"

 

What am I doing wrong? The images are hosted on my photosite ("groupsmsn.com etc")

Hi Chris,

 

Does the actual link end with a .jpg or .gif extension, or is it just a web link.

 

Try pasting the link into a thread so I can take a look for you.

You're a star. I realised they didn't end in .jpg but were a dynamic link to an enlargement. Your saying that made the penny drop.

 

Many thanks

Ok, glad you're sorted now

All sorted then? Fair enough.

 

Otherwise, with a few websites that use fancy scirpting, the easyest thing to do is to just right click on the picutre "save target as", save it to the desktop, then reupload it using ImageShack or simualar.

- Imageshack also has a feature for uploading photos to its datebase from the web, which can be usfull if you do not wish to use the orignal hosts bandwidth, or the site is rather more volotile than helpfull.
