Why are Images Suddenly NOT Showing in Posts???

[MadStatus]

Just had someone post a Halloween party flyer on my board. I've got a hundred other people who've done the same thing and their <img> code is showing the image fine.

This user's code was correct so I thought it was a hosting problem with the image. I hosted an identical image on photoshop and edited his post myself with the new img URL. Still having problems.... And now it looks like I'm not able to post any images in my threads.

The old images are still showing fine, but if anyone tries to post up a new Halloween flyer, they're gonna have problems. What's going on here??? I haven't made any changes to my admin functions.

Please help!!!

Are your images in the database or in the filesystem? If in the database, could you have reached some max database size that your host has on you? And if in the filesystem, could you be out of disk space?

edit: Hmmm, actually, if the image is hosted on another site, then what I wrote makes no sense. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the reply. And yes, these images are hosted on by other sites.

Either filter or host remove it.

[MadStatus]

Thanks. I know it's not a problem with the host. So it's a filter problem??? I don't even know what that means. I've checked my admin pages and haven't been able to find anything about Filters.

If you put something in the censor list

An Example.
hello

and someone decide to use http://mysite.com/hello.png wrap in an [IMG] code, it will be http://mysite.com/*****.png

[MadStatus]

ok, I understand now. Much thanks for the explaination. Though this isn't the problem either. I have no words censored on my forum.

Make sure they're typing the right url.

Sometimes having a capital letter will show as an "X"

I had this problem a while ago.. For some reason my IMG bbcode just decided to die.

So I had to create a custom one.

What you do is go to the Admin CP,
Click on "Add New BB Code" under the Custom BB Codes category

In title, name it "Image" without quotes
in tag, put "img" without quotes
In Replacement, put "<img src="{param}" border="0">" without quotes
in example, put "Link to image here" without quotes
Put what you want in description
Use Option no
The img button is already there so leave that blank
Click save

New images that are posted should now work. The old ones that didn't work before you did this might not work.

Also, remember that the img tag is usually [img] not <img>... so if they are not using [img] then that could be a problem.

Is there a way to allow the <img> code? This is standard html, and what most of my users will be using. Most of them know nothing about html and will be copying and pasting the code directly from sites like photobucket, which use the <img> tag.

[Awjvail]

Photobucket also provides the bbcode [img]. [img] is standard BBCode.

In order to allow the <img> tag you would have to allow users to post HTML, which could pose a potential security risk.
