lightbulb not okay anymore

**CyberSmurf** · 20 Aug 2003, 11:32 AM

I notice that I can't use the lightbulb as an image in my message any more, like I did in this post.

I can see your lightbulb, so it seems to be working again.

Hi mammaduck,

Sorry, I mean in the body of the message.
It seems like in a new post it comes out like "http://www.emailaddresses.com/ubb/icons/icon3.gif".

. . .

Oh, I guess it is working now.

"Never mind."

Thank you.

I don't really know what they mean in the forum sense. I just go by what they look like.

LOL. We are all http://www.emailaddresses.com/ubb/icons/icon3.gifbrightshttp://www.emailaddresses.com/ubb/icons/icon3.gif
That was funny MAILfreak. I had to right click Cybersmurfs lightbulb and hit propertys, then get the URL link and paste it after you click IMG. Is that the right way, because I thought you meant it was in the smilie box.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think linking to images only works in the "About this site..." forum. Anyway; when you're in a forum see the "Forum rules infobox" found on the bottom left, if this box says "[IMG] code is ON" you're allowed to post/link to images...

That explains it. I was pretty sure we couldnt post images on this forum. But now I know its just in the about this site.

Thanks http://evirtus.net/grafx/logo_justv.gifidvandre.

Now that you mention it my original post was in this forum.
It's nice when little mysteries are cleared up.

Unless I am mistaken, Edwin has now turned the IMG code on for ALL EMD forums.

**CyberSmurf** · 22 Aug 2003, 12:49 PM

I haven't tried the other forums, but the lightbulb still didn't work in "The Off-Topic Lounge".

While I have no problems with the occasional smiley icon in the messages I don't think I'd be keen to see lots of large icons and assorted graphics appear in every post. I've been on other forums
(fora?) where there tended to be a sort of unofficial competition to include the largest and most complicated graphics in every post. It got very tedious after a while.

I just did a fast check on some of the forums, and it still looks like the only forum where [IMG] is turned on is this forum...

I have tried to do an image in other forums but yeah this is the only one that works.
