Bob, I’m having difficulties with getting the url tag to work. If I place the url of an image in the message box it works fine. If I use the url tags with the url then it just disappears…vanishes…gone with the wind. No pic, no url nada! If I use the url with the click here type of url tag, it looks just fine…until you click on the click here. then you get a can’t find server message. Are your instructions wrong on this format…as they are for posting an image. Oh, I’ve tried this with both Exploder 6 and Firefox.
Actually, the url tag isnt needed, and is probably misconfigured. You can just past the URL into the message window and it will be converted to an image automagically… I should fix the url tag code, since it should work as well.
Pasting the image isn’t what I want. If you will look at my new log you will see the pictures of box cars. I want to put a “click here” below it so people can get the full size picture (which is huge) if they want. Even the plain url would be ok. I just don’t want to paste the pictures directly as they would make the log unwieldy.
Warren - Are you talking about the forum or the articles section? I’ve made what you want to do work in the Forum before Bob fixed the image auto-sizing with scroll bars. Now it’s not possible to get a link embedded within a photo to open with just a click. In IE, doing a right click then Open Link In a New Window seems to work. In the Forum the following code will work, but requires the forced open of the embedded link. [code][url=jon.barnbeckplace.com/EBTTruck-1024.JPG]

[/url] [color=blue]For a higher resolution version, right click on the picture and select Open Link in a New Window[/color] In the articles section I’ve had the following HTML code work fine… [code]

I just looked at your building log Warren, and re-read your post. Let’s experiment.
Clicking This Link should open the large version of my EBT Truck photo.
The code looks like this
Clicking [url=jon.barnbeckplace.com/EBTTruck-1024.JPG]This Link[/url] should open the large version of my EBT Truck photo.It works for me.
If this does not work for you check your photo source> I see you have some spaces in the names (%20) which could be giving Bob’s forum code fits. Try renaming with Underscores (_) in place of the spaces.

Ok, I’m going to try it here and see what happens. Here’s the small pic.
And for the larger pic, Click here. Ah, this works. Now I see what the problem is. The instructions are wrong. They show the url entry should be as follows: [code][url=
]Click here.[/url][/code] When in fact it really should be: [url=gold.mylargescale.com/wmumpower/LSC/Boxlog/dlw45715.jpg]Click here.[/url] Without the http:// Bob, I think we need to fix the instructions…Please.
Jon, thanks for your assistance. Being able to see a working one allowed me to figure out what was wrong.
Again, Thanks.
Off to fix the instructions…
/me gets his big hammer.
