[answered]Unable to Post Pics Either to Threads or Gallery

In the past, we were nicer people and we accepted that kind of thing..

Kiddin' an alteration was made to the forum code for security reasons requiring images to actually have an image file extension to display it here. The reason for this was to avoid the possibility of malicious attempts to embed nasties in the forum pages.

So while in the past, MSN's non-standard URLs would work now they don't.

If you look at the end of your file name you will see that it does not end in a valid image file extention.

So if you remove ?dc=4675468610513522963 from your image url it should post just fine as it will then end in .jpg and get past the security clearance.

As to the gallery you should upload from your hard drive.

Thanks Craven! See what you all were missing. Aren't they gorgeous! I nearly ran off the road one day when I saw a bunch of these guys in a culvert near my house!

I can't see that image. It's just a box with a red "x" in it and the word "image" next to it. Why does that happen sometimes?

That image URL goes to nowhere.

Correct - the same, btw, with the first URL

Watching with interest as I've been trying to get something here from an MSN site for a coupla days.

I can't see Phoenix's pic either.

something about spoonbills?...

Jiiinh!

Wait a second. Are you guys trying to drive me nuts? I deleted my cache, refreshed my page, and those gorgeous pink butts are still staring out at me!

HTTP 404 File not found

Can you see this?

Sorry, but I still can't see it. I don't know why.

Same thing, 404 error.

It looks like it should work, so maybe it's my browser that isn't displaying it properly. But I can still see other images in other threads, so I don't know what the problem is here.

still can't see it

Hey, this thread's question doesn't seem to be answered, does it? I wonder if any of the techie guys are still looking at this thread.
