Way out of order if you did!! The yellow pet rescue stuff, some where you have made a link but it has not been closed off properly. The " might be missing or you haven't added an ≤/URL≥, or they are in the wrong place. If your not 100%, look for an older post you have made that has the feature you want that works... and click edit to view how you did it. Also forums don't like html being posted as a message for people to see, this can cause issues and a browser may try and do what you added messing things up. In some cases it's easier to post a picture of the snip of html you want to show people, more so if your post ends up going horribly wrong. Update: reference the yellow text and thinking more about it.., there is also a chance you have the e & r around the wrong way in the (a href=...)

I also place some blame being stuck in hospital in some considerable pain, typical. I'm ok though and should be out soon. Only problem is I just caught Covid 19 too, typical. I just wish Jason Kelk was here to read all this. I feel I still need to know the width & height (for some reason for now), I feel like a bit of a dumdum. I'll figure this out in time Actually, it's all beginning to feel a bit obvious now (rollup) Hold on, still no. Pretty sure I just did the same thing as before with images, trying to do the rollup eye smiley. The Pets Recue thing in yellow seems to be screwy too. Ahhh I'm taking a break (for now). It doesn't seem to work in preview either which the feature only shows up once. One thing. Is there a way I can delete a post here? I don't wish to make new topics on this, lol. Can someone fix that last bit for me please, plus that yellow writing and the pets rescue thing, also the sleepy smiley? Hopefully I'll figure it. If not I'll likely give up...eventually (z) Posted By Csabo on 2021-09-08 08:30:59  Re: Site Location HTML Codes When you make a post, there's a Forum Help link there, which details all the things you need to know for posting AFAIK. To post your own pictures, just use the Site Uploader, which gives you the ready-to-use HTML code. Images inserted that way will behave nicely - that is, they will scale properly even on mobile phones and tables without breaking the layout. Now... posting an existing image from out site, like the Tom Thumb thumbnail? Well, to be honest, I don't think the need for that comes up very often. (I can't really think of a scenario.) Just for completeness sake, all of our own screenshots are stored on the server in this format: /dl/screenshots/(LETTER)/(PROGRAM_SUFFIX).gif The suffixes are: nothing for the small screenshot, "main" for the large screenshot, "title" for the title screenshot (if one exists). It's probably much easier to just link to the program itself, or navigate there and copy the image URL.

You don't need to add the extra tags like width, hight, ect, ect... Just your picture link is all that's needed. Keep your images no bigger than 800x600 and your be good for every situation. Also, there is no need to have an over sized image to show a score, use something like M$ Paint and resize it at a pixal by pixal level to 320x240 and if you can still read the score your good again. Smaller images will save space on the server they are being uploaded to. So yeah most of the tags you have been adding are not needed and may even stop your pictures from showing. One last thought, the first time you post - images will not display, only once you edit your post after it's been posted will they show. So the best thing to do is to not post any images in your original post but add them later when you go to edit your post.

I'm unsure of all the site locations here. For example images. I do figure it out again eventually but feel it's important to have a help guide for those struggling like me. I often forget and takes me quite a while to figure it all out again, it becomes frustrating so I feel that it's important to have resources to bookmark. I'll certainly bookmark this topic Unsure how to space things better. xmp & /xmp seems to add an extra line. I read up on it and appears to now be obsolete. No matter. Anyway, things I know of plus4world locations so far, but I often forget. Members <a href="/members/retroscener">retroscener</a> retroscener ---------- Images Example: I don't know this one. Nor the width nor height of the image. <img src="/dl/screenshots/t/tom_thumb_title.gif"> Yep that's me right now ---------- Software <a href="/software/Pets_Rescue" title="Details of Pets Rescue">Pets_<wbr>Rescue</a> Pets Rescue ---------- Video <img src="/dl/forum/20210904_174902_9655_fireant-retroscener-7700.jpg" width="758" height="455" alt="" style="width: 100%; height: auto; max-width: 758px; "> ---------- Any extra help is appreciated guys :-) Copyright © Plus/4 World Team, 2001-2024.
