Still not working

What are you testing?

 

[Van]

Trying to figure out embeding but theres alot of conflicting information out there.

 

[Van]

Bleh, definitely not worth this much hassle to get it to work.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still not sure what your trying to do, but thats ok.

Embed a photo from another site in post here, I tried the insert image option but it has never worked for me and getting any info from the vbulletin site requires proof of a license and I dont have any vbulletin books laying around. Still looking though because now Im ticked off that something that seems so obvious is escaping me and it doesnt help that the last time I did any html was 12 years ago.

 

[Van]

blah

Ok this is frustratingly maddening now. On one hand there's info out there that you use "<a " then "

" while others say to use manage atachments and others say copy and paste the url and still others say something else entirely.

Is this what you are trying to do?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

use [ img ] and [ /img ]

(Just no spaces and your url goes betweek the img tags.

 

[Van]

Is this what you are trying to do?

yes

use [ img ] and [ /img ]

(Just no spaces and your url goes betweek the img tags.

and Ive done that but for some reason its not working, Im thinking it might be something with the reference code from the host site as it states its a code for a blog.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ahh yes, that would do it. The reference codes. Those can be dangerous things for forums and can contain payloads or have built in tracking.

Its a well known site, the cheezeburgers site with animal pics, theres one that I find particulary funny and evil.

Heres the code that Im fighting with.

<a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/07/28/funny-pictures-we-has-cheezburgerz/"><img class="mine_1524205" src="http://icanhascheezburger.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/funny-pictures-come-to-the-dark-side-says-bald-cat.jpg" alt="cat" /></a><br />more <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com">cat</a> pictures

I was thinking that I had to remove the <a href=" and pictures but it comes up a broken image here. Looking at it the code references three diferent urls wich Im asuming one links to another and to another wich I think may be the other issue?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope it would be....

[ img ]http://icanhascheezburger.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/funny-pictures-come-to-the-dark-side-says-bald-cat.jpg[ /img ]

So it would look like this...

 

[Van]

Ok I see it now, its the first and last url and tags that come out.

God no wonder sys admins are jittery little guys, so much to keep up with.
