Did you turn on "Images in Posts" in the Admin Options? (Admin Options > Feature Configuration > Images in Posts and set to On)<

Cheers,

I have the same problem, but only with Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) BBCode; all I get is a "broken picture" image. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the link itself?



The link by itself (without the image tags—http://pixkeep.com/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2662) does bring up the image, so it isn't a case of a bad link.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be appreciated.

If you do a "View Source" it looks like the ampersand (&) is getting filtered out of the image URL.

that is by design so that scripts can not be injected into image tags, it is a security issue, use an image service that allows you to link to the image rather than using code.

Actually, I've been doing more research since I posted that, and what I found is that it doesn't work here because it doesn't use the image's filename; it uses an ID instead, so there is no file extension.

I found this in a post in the Gallery forum:

"phpbb and other boards are not smart enough to detect image links that don't end with a image extension.
therefore, you have to activate G2 short urls (url rewrite module) to be compatible with phpbb bbcode.

(i just changed my phpbb code such that it allows all urls as image urls)"


I can't use the short urls function because my webhost isn't equipped for it; can anyone tell me if there is some code that I can change to achieve what's in the parentheses in that quote?

Thank you!

This is a gallery that I set up specifically to store images to be posted in my Snitz forum. I've asked my users not to use photobucket, because the photobucket site has a virus (and has had for over a year now), and they're not doing anything about it. There aren't a lot of image sites out there that can be used to store comments and such, and my users use a lot of those.

Is there no workaround?

Well sorry to sound rude, but I just spit soda all over my keyboard when I read that. This site does images for a stinkin' living and decided to use non-standard image urls to do it. To me, that's classic "not smart enough". I'll be dammed if I'd change my software to accommodate them, other than to put thier domain name in the bad word filter.

Switch the order of your title tags

I told you exactly why it doesn't work here, it is for security reasons, if you wish to open your forum to script injection attacks then feel free to change the code, but we will not help you to do it.
