Pictures

Post by RiscaStation »

Hi

I am still having problems trying to get a Picture into the page on the forum. I have read your instructions but am getting no where.
I should be able to see the picture, I have followed the instructions and the reference for it is this;--

[album 154229 Signal Missing Parts.jpg]

Can you please enlighten me as to where I might be going wrong?

Regards
Mike

The problem appears to be that you have spaces in the file name. Replace each space with %20 like this : {album 154229 Signal%20Missing%20Parts.jpg} replace the {} brackets with square ones and you get :

Hi John

Happy new year to you. I did as you have shown and inserted the %20 in the spaces and this worked.

Thanks very much.

The easy way to do it is, not to have any spaces in the picture name so
album 154229 Signal Missing Parts.jpg

Would be
album 154229 SignalMissingParts.jpg

Dead easy.

Spaces in any file names, pictures or data files, should be avoided.

Hi Steve

First, remove the img tags (before and after the album and file info) - they're not needed. You then need to add spaces - it's only the file name itself where you must not use spaces. So, to use your example (I've changed the square brackets to curly ones just to demonstrate otherwise the picture would show instead of the code):

{img][album%2075727%20western.jpg][/img}

{album 2075727 western.jpg}
