Linking to images

Rayman1968 · March 3rd, 2007, 3:02 AM

I'm trying to post a picture in a forum that I have on my website. I'm using the [img] tags with the url but the picture won't display. All that shows is the red x. HTML code is enabled at the forum so it's something on my end.

Is there a setting or something that I need to change to be able to link to pics on my site?

Thanks for any help.

... do you have hotlink protection on?

... what type of forum is...?

... are you sure the image is even there?

The [img] tag is not HTML. It takes the form:

Code:

{IMG]http://your.domain/folder/image.name[/IMG]

(The leading [ has been replaced here with { to allow display of the code.)

The HTML tag takes the form:

Code:

<img src="http://your.domain/folder/image.name" alt="the title" />

Right mouse click on the red x and pick properties to see if the path is being passed correctly.

It turns out the picture was saved on my site as a .JPG (in upper-case), and I was using lower-case in the img tag. When I used upper-case in the img tag it worked.

I had no idea they would be case sensitive.

on linux mahcines, file names are case sensitive, unlike Windows
