Unable to get images to appear

jhansman · April 14, 2020, 08:06 PM

I'm using the "Insert Image" button on the thread dialog, but when I preview I just get the HTML code with the link, no image. What am I doing wrong? I've tried with a hosting site as well as Google images. Thanks.

You've tried this sticky?

jhansman - can you give us a link to one of your posts where you have included an image?

When you are in the Edit window, is the HTML code surrounded by image tags, or link tags? It should look like this:

[img]http://www.host.com/yourpicture.jpg[/img]

If what you see is

[url]http://www.host.com/yourpicture.jpg[/url]

Change the "url" to "img" and it should work.
