Just a topic for people to test Images and putting picks into post, as I've seen a few people not be able to, and I'm not sure I can myself, and want to test ebfore I intrude into the other forums.

Thanks for your patience.

The issue with the first image there seems to be the fact that you are trying to use HTML code on the forum, which only supports BBcode in posts. Also, even for HTML, you're way off formatting that correctly.

Is there a way to post an image that has been saved in the album?

try going to the album, going to the picture, right clicking it, clicking "copy image location" or whatever the equivalent is in your browser, and then pasting that into the bbcode...

Find the URL of the image and enclose it within the image formatting specified in the link Faerthurir posted above. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.

The easy way to find out any bbcode formatting is just to quote a post that has the code you're looking for.

The quoted text is always translated back into BBcode, including pictures.

Thank you all for the replies.
I'm not sure why it still does not work.


I selected the URL, pasted in my text, selected the text, click "Img" but it does not work.

Is it because what I quote is not an image, but part of an album?
If so, how can I get the image's URL, not the album's?

For the new DRAICH image on the ToC, I did selected the artist's image and pasted the selection and it worked out well. But that image happend to be hosted in another place than D.net album.

So, I still do not know how to insert in a post an image previously loaded in the D.net album.
Could anyone explain me how to do?

By the way, I apologize for vampiring the thread, I sort of feel that my concerns are close to the starter of the thread.

Right, I see the issue there. In your last post you are linking to the page where the image is displayed, what you want to do is link to the image itself. IE: replace " http://www.druchii.net/album_page.php?pic_id=4002" with "http://www.druchii.net/album_pic.php?pic_id=4002&sid=99878673247336c3a6a9bd3727669d0b"


Except.... that link seems not to link directly to the image for some reason. This confuses me. Host it elsewhere?

hmm, the php might screwing that up i think. try saving the picture, hosting in on photobucket or soemwhere? or ask someone else :P despite my now five years of computer science i've only ever really lurked on boards, and my knowledge of bbcode is somewhat lax

Thanks guys for the advice offered, I figured it out, and promptly put up my army on painting and modelling :D

The model, who betta, is a converted Avatars of War Dreadlord. Nothing major really conversion wise, his right scabbard was clipped off, right arm green stuffed abit and Whatshisface Manflayer's sword was added. Then left arm was clipped, and the aforementioned Manflayer's Crossbow Bracer was added. Finally the SDC was bent round alittle, if you want any more information on it, ask in the P&M forum under my army blog ;)

Thanks again Guys
