Announcement: No More Embedded Picture in Posts - YorkieTalk.com Forums

admin · 06-07-2005, 09:23 AM

Embedded pictures using the IMG tag will no longer work on our forum. If you want to add a picture to your post, please add it as an attachment. (See directions here).

This was done for a variety of reasons, including:

- Many users are still using dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, and embedded images take far too long for them to download. It is much simpler for people to see a thumbnail then choose themselves if they want to open up a larger version of the picture or not.

- We have started seeing quite a few instances where the hosted images do not work. This is quite annoying and frustrating to people. Long-term, more and more pictures hosted at other places will not work, and a red X will be in its place. Pictures that are attached to posts will ALWAYS work without fail.

- Some of the images that have been embedded in posts are EXTREMELY large. The largeness screws up the format of the YorkieTalk thread as well as unnecessarily tie up a member's Internet connection.

You can still use the IMG tag, but a link will show in its place. Again, using thumbnails will be more beneficial to all members. Old posts with pictures embedded will just show a link to the image.

i was just wondering if anyone could explain to me how to embed an image in a an email not for YT. I figured out alot of things but this ain't one of them. If you know and would like to explain it to me please PM rather than posting it here after admin tells us not to do it anymore, lol.

That's a little disappointing. I spent most of the day uploading pictures to Photobucket. I wanted to show off Maggie in a bigger form like some of the other members. I was just getting ready to do that, when my mountains were gone, on the New Post.

You can link us to an album and we can still see them ! ..I'll miss it - every once in a while I like doing continuous stories... but I can live without it
