What are you typing into the field? It should be

Code: Select all

[img]blahblahlbah.com/blah[/img]

or

<img src="blahblahblah.com/blah" />

Im typing in JUST the link and nothing else

By link do you mean

Code: Select all

<a href="blahblahblah.com/blah">...</a>

or

[url]blahblahblah.com/blah[/url]

?

Because those are the wrong ways.

I just thought about that again, and we really should have it. I took a look at it, and it is small. It gets placed just above the "Disable HTML in this post" checkbox, if you follow their directions, but you can stick it anywhere if you find the right spot in the code. It is also completely customizable if you know what you're doing(really simple to do). It also loads the link page in a new window, so you don't lose anything that you've already typed. If we agreed on where to put it, and what to make it look like, I could write a small how-to, and change the code, then give it to Ben and ask him to do it when he has some spare time(10 minutes worth).

I don't know if anybody else still likes the idea, but I do.

Good, now everybody read the extra paragraph that I added to my last post.

Does anybody agree that it would be convienient to be able to load images to imageshack, right from your post? We could even use a small script to keep it hidden until we want to load an image. I'm going to make a sample page of how I think it could look, and I will post a link later.

I agree. We should have the imageshack thing installed. It's non-intrusive and it's a simple copy-and-paste installation to an HTML file. (from what I can tell)

Does it cost extra? For Ben?

Nope. It's free.

I'm almost done working on the sample page. It looks pretty good in Firefox, I just need to move something, but it makes the page clean, because the box remains hidden until you click "Show the ImageShack box". I still have to work some stuff out for Internet Explorer, and I need to find somebody with Netscape to try it(not until I get it working properly in IE and FF though). I'm also trying to decide whether to leave it as I have it now(a script link in the options panel, above "HTML is ON"), or if I should make a new checkbox above "Disable HTML in this post" to show the ImageShack box.

I just looked over the file that you add to, and I think I am going to use the checkbox(for simplicity, and because it looks better).
