Hello, I am having numerous members complaining they are having trouble posting pictures on my forum. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Now when you say that are you saying they can't upload them, or post a link?

Well apparently they are having trouble uploading them from there computer for sure? And another said even posting links didn't work either?

It's wierd.

Okay, check your security on your forum and see if you restricted them too.

Admin Panel --> General --> Security

No, because one of the complaining members has posted images before, he claims it only works sometimes or something like that? Another guy just said he is having no luck posting pictures either.

Okay, may I have a testing account to use so I can test it myself? If so, send me the info via PM. Thanks.

Ummm... no unfortunately, but you can sign up and try it. Here is the forum http://www.insectboards.com/

Sorry, i was able to post an image just fine.

I seen that. Perhaps it is just a coincidence these two members are having problems. Do you know of a detailed tutorial or post of how to pictures on forumotion forums.?

Try posting an image yourself by using the BBCode

Code:

[img]IMAGE LINK[/img]

Worked for me, I believe the two that are complaining may be trying to directly upload them from there computer files.

btw, thank you for these quick responses!

You can do that too via the 'Host an image" icon on the editor's toolbar.

hmmm... interesting. Here where my results when I tried!

U could try also. See what happens when you try.

Did you try hosting one from your computer?

Yes I did, and I also noticed this forum is under some sort of spam attack thing? lol So if you are trying to work on that, i am patient.

Haha no. I am only a 'helper' I have no staff powers and therefore can't do a thing about all the spam that happens. Don't worry, though, it's common during this time. I appreciate that, though.

Are you sure that image isn't corrupted?

Oh, so you aren't getting paid? Why? You are so AMAZINGLY helpful! Also sorry not to be stupid, but define corrupted lol. What do you mean by that?

I will try a few more.

Thanks again. I just enjoy helping others.

Try several images on your computer to see if it does bring up that error.

Ok, it worked. It must have been that single image. What should i tell my two members having problems? i will make a in-depth post on how to post pictures I guess.

And if the world had more people like you, this place would be a much better place to live. Thanks Draxion.

You are very welcome. You have yourself a good night!

You too! You have been so very helpful and chose to spend your time helping others for nothing in return! I am truly amazed.
I wish i could repay you somehow, because thanks just isn't enough!

Actually, I am not the only one. The entire staff here, besides the head admin, are all volunteers. And a number of other users help others too.

If this is solved, be sure to mark the topic icon as 'solved'.

Oh, i did not know that, I will have to be sure from know on I just thank everyone that helps me here even more thoroughly. Also, I marked it as solved!

Thanks for the help @Draxion .

Have a Happy New Year everyone.
