MatildaHunterFan Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Help!! I wanted to post a picture in the thread asking if it was a spoiler and this is what came: "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." I had already gotten that error notification as a red bar while previewing my icon post in my thread to make sure I hadn't messed up the links but it went away once I clicked "Submit" for the second time.... Or should I have posted that in Technical Issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris J Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Mmm a couple of people have reported that issue now :/ Unfortunately I'm away until Monday afternoon so I can't look into it properly until then. What was the file extension of the image you are trying to post? The board will only accept certain files, mainly those ending in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, or .png - if the file doesn't end in one of those then that could be why it failed.

I did use tinypic.com to upload pictures. I think it was JPG on the file (photo of me) I was going to upload into the 'post your picture' thread.

Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I use tinypic and I tried to upload icons and got the same messaged as Sandy never mind I worked it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatildaHunterFan Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, it was .png as usual, uploaded with photobucket and the strange thing was that I had posted exactly that icon in my artwork thread, 5 minutes prior to my post there...

Jen Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm having the same picture error message. At first it seems like the board does not like when you have [img} whatever tags, but then the error message relates to the file extension when I've been using jpeg or png files linked from photobucket. It's strange because you get the error message and then at some point it changes into an actual picture in the reply portion of the post and then its fine to post. It seems like it's just when it is in tags with a url that the board doesn't like it. I realise this might be woefully unhelpful, but maybe it'll enlighten something?

Chris J Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 That did actually help pin it down, it turns out that it didn't like you using the [img} tags in the Rich Text Editor, but it'd work fine if you had it turned off Anyway, just fixed it! Let me know if it carries on, but you should now be able to post fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for fixing it, Chris! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelephotoMarigold Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Doesn't the 'Multi-quote' feature work? As I keep seeing a lot of posts from people post more than once because they are replying separately to points raised by different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
