82Whitey51 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have used PostImage for about the last 5 or s o years to post pics on ARC but now they don't seem to display? I get this showing up in my post vice the actual photo: [url=https://postimg.cc/ZCVJ4M2D][img]https://i.postimg.cc/8zVcB8HD/IMG-1160.jpg[/img][/url] I've tried the other link selections on the drop down menu they have as well and no dice. Is the issue on my end? Are pic hosting sites no longer allowed to be used at ARC? I've tried the "drag and drop" feature here too but resizing pics is a PItA. A site ougtta be able to take a basic snap shot from an iPhone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Simple goofing around with your url didn't work for me. Good luck finding an acceptable answer. Edited October 2, 2020 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) You have to use direct link to the image. BB code (/img) doesn’t work anymore. The bolded part is what goes in your post: [url=https://postimg.cc/ZCVJ4M2D][img]https://i.postimg.cc/8zVcB8HD/IMG-1160.jpg[/img][/url] If you paste, paste as plain text, not rich text.

jonwinn Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I use Imgur but ARC is "different" than other sites. I had to use Direct Link to post instead of BBCode. I have no idea why. jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 The reason why you have to use direct link instead of BB code is because the latest version of the forum software no longer supports BB code. There have been a number of posts on the subject, but they are scattered around and it seems that many didn’t get the message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand, most photo links already in posts at the time the new software was loaded were converted over during the upgrade process, but depending on the format, not sure all were.
