Just a comment, guys--at my work, teaching choral music in a high school, I'm in the midst of learning a music program called SIBELIUS, which is a really, really, REALLY easy program to comprehend. Now I'm doing this for my job. So how come a program like the new MR forum is so incredibly complex when I'm trying to use it for fun, relaxation and sharing ideas?
Answer THAT one, Bergie!

I would LOVE to answer it, but I have no idea what you're referring to. Calling our new forum incredibly complex without giving examples as to what you feel is incredibly complex gives me nothing to work with.
I know change is hard, but I personally don't find this new forum software to be incredibly complex. Does it take some getting use to? Yes. It's like anything else in life. If you have a habit established for a certain task and then something new is presented, you naturally fall back on your habit and things don't work. That applies to everything from reader forums to coffee makers or automobiles.
Remember the last time you got a new car? Were the controls for turning on your whipers or setting your cruise control exactly the same on your new car as there were on your old car? I doubt it. It's the same thing we're facing here. Yes, WE; me included. I've been learning this new software right along with you guys, and I have yet to find something (besides that goofy photo hypertext issue) that has made be declare this forum incredibly complex.
If you guys have issues, please be clear about them and lets see if we can all work these things out. Being vague and saying you just don't like it as much as the old forum isn't doing anything to make things better; it's simply stating your opinion.
Hang in there fellas; we'll all get there together.
Have a great weekend,
Bergie

It's the link. Here's what you posted:
<img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/vigour/DSC03637.jpg" border="0" />
Kill the border="0" /> after the .jpg" and you should be good:
" border="0" />
We'll get there...
OK, you just had the same problem I had. I typed in the link and ended it after .jpg, yet Photo Bucket added border="0" /> once it's posted.
Are there any other photo bucket users here that have had success? I believe it's Photo Bucket's issue (adding that extra border tag) not the issue from our software.

I use photobucket almost exclusively. I use IE 6.0.
Here's a pic done by just using the IMG tag on Photobucket.
This is a gif
And this is a real pic
Rivereagle,
You are copying the "Tag" link in your photobucket picture. You MUST copy the "IMG" link (the 3rd link under your photo). Then, simply paste into the forum here and it works perfect, everytime!
[*IMG]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/dkzimm/Escanaba%20and%20UP%20Railroad%20construction/8_20_06005.jpg[*/IMG] This is the IMG link from my photo. I added the * in each IMG bracket so you could see the link.
I'm using IE6 and have no problems posting from Photobucket.

Research; it's not just for geeks.
The "happy little dance"
You must have a new loco in the bag. HAHA
OK, IE 6.0 and Photobucket.
Here's the URL

The TAG
<a href="http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/NKP No 587/?action=view¤t=abf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/NKP%20No%20587/abf.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
and the IMG

rivereagle, you're correct. I quoted you and it straightened out. Hmmm, maybe you have a bug in your Beta version of IE7? Roll back to IE6 and see if your posting problems go away.Don Z.
good grief.
again, if you are having trouble posting photos, the most basic thing to try is to manually type the [img*] and [/img*] (without the asterisks) first, like this:[img*][/img*]
... then paste just the url from "http" to ".jpg" or ".gif" in between the bracketed image tags. Don't paste in any additional tags. You can get the url from the "properties" of the image.
the result looks like this (with the asterisks, so you can see the format)
[img*]http://www.trains.com/trccs/Themes/default/images/kpclogos/mrr.gif[/img*]
and like this when you type the img tags without the asterisk and then paste the url in between them
Well, I'll be sure to keep IE6 on my PC since it works! Good luck getting it ironed out.
river_eagle wrote:alco fan, your the one not getting it!!! it's a software issue that NO MATTER HOW I, or the others with this problem, enter the info, the tags get changed to the post.
Then maybe you are not copying just the URL, it looks like you are also copying the tags ... elsewise how would they be there to change? Hey, maybe you've got something extra funny going on, but I'm on a university campus a lot and I've posted phots from a variety of machines (PC, Mac, Linux) with a variety of browsers, and they have all worked fine if I manually type the tags and carefully copy and paste only the URL.
Like so
You are saying that you manually typed the [img*] and [/img*] (without the asterisks) before pasting just the url in between?
Looks from here like you are also pasting in the tags from Photobucket. But I coudl be wrong.
old browser
exactally the same link!!!!!!!!!!!!!
river_eagle wrote: exactally the same link!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm not an idiot, I get it that different browsers work differently if you paste in the tags from Photobucket. I'm asking if you tried manually typing in the [img*][/img*] (without the asterisks) and then pasting just the URL in between.
If you are posting in the tags as well as the URL, yes, some browsers are having problems.

It will not work either way unless I use the old browser!!!!
FORUM ADDS EXTRA TAGS when using new browsers!!
