Can't post photos hosted on public sites
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 12:09 pm
I tried to post a photo hosted by my photo hosting site, as per this text from the "Creating New Topics and other Hints":
And all I get in return is:
The URL is definitely correct, because it was cut and pasted... No opportunity for a typo.
I get the idea that the size limit doesn't apply when the picture is being hosted elsewhere. Do I have that right?
Confused...

If you have images hosted on a public hosting site, you can include those images in your posts using the [IMG] tags. For example, to include an image hosted at
http://yourHost.com/yourImagefile
you can just wrap that URL with the [ img ] and [ /img ] tags.
And all I get in return is:
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct.
