Hi,
I have thousands of pictures that used to be stored on a dedicated (paid) storage server and then linked from there into (another) forum posts.
Since my current agreement with my Forum hosting provider has everything unlimited, can I make a directory where my vBulletin is installed (as .../home/images/my_pics/), upload images there and use them as I need.
I tried with a small number of pictures in a custom made directory but could not get any images to appear in the (still testing) posts.
For example, if my image1.jpg is located at:
mysite.com/public_html/home/images/my_pics/image1.jpg
I tried as (using "insert image")
http://mysite.com/public_html/home/images/my_pics/image1.jpg (http://www.mysite.com)
but it only brings a red "x".
From that dedicated external storage server it works like that. But not from my own server.
Edit: my bad. The path was wrong.
correct way to use images from my own site (remove blanks):
http: //www.mysite.com /home /images /my_pics /image1.jpg
