See? It's coming up fine for me, but this happens whenever I click 'add reply' it does this.

What is the URL of the image?

[Silver Swordsman]

'cording to what I know, all you gotta do is just copy the image URL from Imageshack or whatever host you're using. Place tabs around it. Like this: [ I M G ] <insert picture link> [/ I M G ]

what type of file is it? It might be a file that we've chosen to not allow for some reason, or that just isn't in our "allowed" list. If it's not that, it could just be a bug with the forums.

Whatever the case, your best place to get an answer would be in the Bug Reports topic in the Community Issues forum.

I'm pretty sure they are PNG files. For a while I thought they were JPEGs. That might have been the problem.

Both of those file types are allowed. On the screen where you are receiving the error message, right click on the image in the post body, view image info, and copy-n-paste the "Location" attribute for me to see.

[MorganFan]

I don't have "view image info"
These are all of the options I get. I have Windows 7.

[CoasterBGW]

Do a copy of the image URL and post the result.

http://desmond.image....jpg&res=medium
I assume that's what you wanted me to do.

I'm guessing it has to do with that &res=medium at the end of the link. The forums like a format of http://domain/page/file.extension.

(Didn't realize that was an actual domain--for domain registration.....go figure).

[CoasterBGW]

Exactly, the image you are linking to is actually a script.

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg684/scaled.php?server=684&filename=slptornado.jpg&res=medium

Notice that the file is actually scaled.php.

You need to link to the image.

[MorganFan]

Sorry I don't understand. I'm not that great with files.

[Daniel Westfall]

It's not a file, that's the problem. It's a piece of code. Look at Matt's post again (I'll break it down for you)....Look for the first dot that's not part of the domain name.

subdomain.domain.countrycode/(some kind of reference or instructions)/scaled.php

The rest of it after that point doesn't matter at all.


That means that this is actually a piece of code written in PHP (a programming language used for databases).

you need the direct URL to the image. Try to right-click and open in a new window or "Go to target" or something like that. then right-click on that, and say, "Get image location" THAT is what you need to link to.

[Silver Swordsman]

I've tried ripping out the image link out of your post, but no go.



In any case, this is what a link should look like:

I prefer Dropbox. I save a photo to a folder in Dropbox, which automatically uploads and syncs to an online database. I go to that database, grab the public link, paste into the image tags.

This is a test.



Edit: Test was successful. Thank you for your time.

Edited by MorganFan, 24 August 2011 - 08:09 PM.

[Thunderhead]

Doesn't work. It seems like you copied the link and not the public link. You need to right click it, like so...






You will LOVE dropbox.

[MorganFan]

Dropbox is what I was using, but i found out what was wrong with my test post. It's weird, because the picture came up for me.

Well anyway, here goes.

And Timber Creek Express.






Just West of Santa Fe, Sandy Lake Park is fun for all!


Thanks Thunderhead!

[Silver Swordsman]

I think some hills would make the terrain more interesting. I believe I've said this to Beast once, too.


EDIT: whoops. Didn't see that terrain woodie. Sorry!

Last year, Timber was not well recieved, so Sandy Lake Park took the liberty of replacing it with a brand new roller coaster!
Racing coasters are all the rage, so the came up with
Racer!



Racer uses Timber's original station, and it looks like Sandy Lake is keeping some secrets!






The park management built walls to make Racer look better. It looks like there will soon be an expansion to the park! This park must be all about making guests happy!

EDIT: By the way, this scenario does not have any custom or downloaded scenery. Just pure RCT2.

That is really cool I could never do these things in rct2.

That's funny. I couldn't for the life of me make any kind of scenery in RCT3.

This is a big year for the park. Louie Zistelli has pulled out all the stops by enhancing the park's theming and adding two whole new rides! The park followed their guest's advice by making the park look nicer with the new
Racer Plaza, with amazing magic jumping fountains!




and the new Whirling Garden, showcasing the newest coaster, Virginia Reel!




Also, new for the park this year is Sky Watch, looking over the dazzling forests of the Santa Fe area.








Zistelli is sure this will be the last major update for a few years, while he helps his long-time companion, Angel D. Flynne Jr. develop his own dream of creating an amusement park just like Zistelli's.


(It's about to get interesting (Google Angus G. Wynne Jr. and Louis Zistel.). Don't forget about Rochestere!)

[biZarRo]

Still looks really cool! I wonder what's going to happen when the 1950's come around.
