Posting Pictures?

93CobraR · 05-04-2000, 09:13 PM

I was just wondering why we can't put pictures in out post like they do at the Corral? Will we ever be able to? Is the server thing different or what? Thanks

There are a couple features that this msgboard system actually has which I keep turned off for users. These include the ability to post message with HTML and UBB Image Tags. It is my experience that letting users post images in the message board quickly gets out of hand, and is also mostly unnecassary. Especially since you can simply do a UBB code link to a picture on your own web site if warranted. You can also link directly to your User's Ride listing in the same fashion, as many members already do.

Forget about allowing HTML. No way! Most people do not know HTML that well, and allowing it will quickly raise havoc on the sites HTML and message board pages. As improper HTML coding in a message can EASILY effect the rest of the page it appears on.

I have seen that some people including your self posted some pictures in there post, does this mean that you are allowing it now? Thanks

Yes, certain forums now have the [img] tag on. Tech forums do not, other do. HTML IS STILL OFF for the previously stated reasons. As far as the img tag goes, it's on a trial run, sorta speak....
