Alright, I enabled the bbcode plugin again.

I've been attempting to get this problem resolved... I'll figure it out, just try and be patient. Sadly I have way too much on my plate at the moment, and I can't find a reliable programmer to hire to work on these things for me. (or at least can't find one in my price range)

@raphoenix: I'm not sure what you mean. We have been able to load images from any web site and still can, just not using the bbCode IMG tag.

Edit: It appears as of about 30 seconds ago we can use bbCode again. So all the image stuff is as it was.

jd2066,

Not sure what you mean ??

Notice I was able to reference pictures in my website stores today and could not do it before the plugin was removed for a while. What tags have you been using to get pictures off your website in the past ??

Regards,
Rick P.

@raphoenix: I mean using the HTML image tag. Even without the bbCode plugin you can use the HTML image tag to reference an image on any site.

@jd2066

You got to have a SRC tag also plus a URL ref etc.,

Have you been following this on going discussion for the last two weeks ??

BobJam has posted daily and almost everyone else has jumped in including The Geek.

If you know something about the site that no one else seems to know, then please share it with us all.

Not just me :) :)

For an HTML image all you need is the src attrib.
Example: (img src="http://www.example.com/pic.jpg" /)
() being <> of course.
Not much to it.

@jd2066,

Yes; that's the code I'm using.

For several weeks that code and other code did (NOT) work.

Even The Geek said there were problems.

Everyone even tried Backticks and other methods.

The Geek got involved again today and did something with bbpress.

I just surmised as to what he was doing in the post which started this conversation.

Now the code is working again as you can see.

That is why I say "Be Happy" :) :) :)

Kindest Regards,
Rick P.

@raphoenix: Ok. I watched the topic and thought it was just the bbCode tags that didn't work. Maybe not.

@scott + jd2066,

I think you can close (Solve) this thread now as posting an image appears to be working OK.

Night ALL.

Wait a minute . . . wait a minute. So now BOTH the HTML coding and BBCode image insertion works??

I guess another test is in order.

First, lemme try the old BBCoding with the brackets . . . [ and ] :

And then lemme try the HTML coding with the img src= and the < and > characters AND the backticks:

Yup . . . both ways work now. But I don't know still if the EDIT will mess things up. May test that later, but for now this is enough. Thanks Geek.

P.S. LH, where is that "anti-animation" button you spoke of in that other thread?? Is it here somewhere on the "My Profile" section, or are you talking about something on your machine??

BobJam. It's little add-on in my browser (FF) that stops animation.

In Firefox, hit the <Esc> key to pause animations on the current page. To disable them permanently, in about:config set "image.animation_mode" to "none".

Like whs, I get tired of the circus when the little animations are all playing, it's distracting from the content. Luckily, it's easy to disable in FF. Unfortunately, even after the circus has stopped, it's still a jungle in here! :)

EDIT: the <Esc> key works in IE7, too.

Hurrah, it works. Thank you Geek for putting it back on. And thank you ScottW for the trick with the Esc. The world is back in order.

Hey ScottW,

Yes, I tried the escape key in IE7 and that worked just fine. But now I have another problem . . . how do I re-enable animations? I tried hitting the Esc key again, but that didn't bring it back.

Hmmmmm . . . the act of posting brought it back. Weird.

Bob, if you just refresh the page, it will start the animations back up again. Posting causes the page to reload because the content has changed.

Yes, that worked . . . thanks. Now I have a "stop animation" method like those with the FF add-on.
