Image posting problem

geoff_ss

I have successfully posted images here before but now it just doesn't work.

I use the symbols with a pointer to the location of my picture between them but it just appears as the code rather than the picture.

I notice that in my displayed options HTML is shown as 'OFF'. I've visited my profile page and set the option to allow HTML but it doesn't seem to change.

This is what I'm trying to do:



Any advice?

thanks

Is this what you have been trying to do?

Lose the "?v=0" at the end.

I've noticed that image addresses with a question mark or hyphen don't work, well not for me anyway.

Nice plane by the way. What is it? Has the look of a Sopwith Camel or Pup.

Ah, thanks for that. It was irritating me somewhat Why does the '?v=0' matter and I wonder why it's there (I use Firefox btw.

Red Rock: It's a model called a Puppeteer which is a cartoon scale Sopwith Pup. It has a 60" wing span and in this picture it has a .40 cu in (6.5cc) 2 stroke Irvine Q40 glow engine but it currently sports a .65 cu in (10cc) four stroke engine which sounds a bit better in the air.

I like biplanes and have several. It was intended to illustrate the 'What we do apart from cycle' thread. I build and fly RC aeroplanes.

the img tags require a link to a picture so a .bmp .jpg.gif extension will work it, you just have to be careful when getting the link from the source you want.

Flickr like photobucket will have different addresses available dependant on how you view your pictures
