hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Referee! OK. I'm going to look into the plug-in issue - I may be some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Right. I think I've worked out what the problem is. It appears HJH is using the correct link but then placing it in Basschat with the image button effectively wrapping it in 2 sets of IMG tags: [code]" class="ipsImage" /> Nope. Doesn't like Imgur either.[/code] If the link you copy from your photo-hosting site already contains the IMG tag you can paste it into the reply directly without having to use the image button. HTH. Edit: it would help if I actually could type the right tags myself! Edited February 29, 2016 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1456773318' post='2992170'] No mine is exactly what HJH was trying to do except that I accessed the photo URL directly and then made my own IMG tags in the Basschat reply. [/quote] Interesting......... I can't replicate that & get a result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Have a look at my reply above. Check your code by clicking the light switch icon top left in the reply window which stops the Forum from trying to parse the code and shows what has actually been typed/copied/automatically generated.

Dad3353 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Indolent so-and-so that I am, I copy the Imgur link, then paste that, as is, directly into the text box. Other OS may be different, of course, but the less I mess about with codes and stuff, the better I feel (done it for too many years, now... ). The icône to the left of the Imgur code field even does the copying for me, so it's all win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cool - that opens another tangent - in Pbucket the IMG link doesn't need the "picture box" icon to be clicked, just a direct paste. Using the box generates the double IMG you mention. Whereas the "Direct" link does need the box icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I still can't get it to work with PB, but that photo I've just posted (of the rear of the amp) I copied the Imgur code straight into the comments box with the lightswitch flicked to code, then flicked it back and the photo appeared, even before I posted it. Doesn't appear to work the other way around though! Edited February 29, 2016 by hiram.k.hackenbacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I always use http://imgur.com A couple of things to try; do you see a toolbar full of buttons when composing a post? On a mobile device you don't, you are editing the raw form of the post and have to use IMG tags. If you see the buttons however, there is a button to insert an image, where you then paste the direct image link into the popup box.

CamdenRob Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Just checking mine still works... Seems OK but if the functionality for direct linking disappears then Photobucket is useless to me and i'll have to use something else...

A few people have asked about the Acg I traded for a Jim fleeting custom, has a east pre in it that's much easier for me to use and if I'm honest I hated the very asymmetric neck on the Acg, while pivoting the thumb in various positions it didn't feel right going from thin to fat depth. A quality bass though, looked great. Disappointed about having to let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
