Can't see embedded image

Post by hang_pilot »

I can't see the tracklog in Pete's post: http://www.chgpa.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3186. I tried right clicking on the word image and selecting "show image" with no success. Is this problem due to my browser setting, or does Pete need to do something differently? I'd love to see the tracklogs he mentions.

THANKS!

Wow, talk about a pain in the butt to track down. Thought it was a forum
permissions issue for way too long :|

Looks like WebShots is preventing direct links to full-size images hosted
at their site. If you go there, pull up an image, click the magnifying glass
icon to get the largest image, right-click to 'view image' , and then copy/paste
the resulting URL that your browser shows...

Then that URL will *not* work when you later incorporate it into a
forum post, embedded in IMG tags.

The image will display once or twice. But after that, all ya get is "Image" .

You are forced to use their 'link to it' feature, which might not actually
give you an option for a full-rez image.

I'll work with Pete on an alternative, hopefully we'll have that track log
up very soon.
