Having trouble posting album covers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I usually like to post album covers (that I get from this site usually) but for some reason that hasn't been working lately and I'm not sure why. My text seems to look different too but not sure if that's related. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, there's a little arrow where it says image uploaded if that helps.

	^ This is all due to the turning off by Greg of the WYSIWYG post editor for all users a few days ago. This was done to counteract the injected code that has been appearing in almost everybody's posts just recently, and if M@X can be persuaded to deal with the root of whatever is causing that problem, the disabling of the WYSIWYG editor will only be a temporary nuisance.

	Click on the Full Reply Editor (the button with the arrow that points to the top-right). You'll see two buttons with a picture of a tree on them. The one with the up-arrow is for uploading an image, the other one is for linking to an online image. If the image is an album cover on PA, right-click the image and select Copy image link. If the Prompt Mode is set to Prompt Mode, you'll get a text box for the link to the image. If the Prompt Mode is set to Basic Mode, you'll just get the empty tags inserted into the post between which you place the link to the image. Unfortunately, I don't know how to set the size of the displayed image, something that could be done in the past with the WYSIWYG editor. Edited by I prophesy disaster - April 18 2025 at 17:38
	No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

	It seems to have affected posting embedded videos (and not just links) as well. Also, if I'm not mistaken the arrow thing only seems to allow you to uploead images that you already have stored on your computer and not stuff from online. At least that's what it seemed like to me. I didn't see an option for anything other than uploading your own files. Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - 17 hours 30 minutes ago at 09:21

	Pro hack: you can compose your messages on Progressiveears, and copy the BBCode-based posts here and it'll mostly work (with some minor tweaks). Super cool fancy text, colors wow it's so easy to format this stuff holy moly

	Hi, I like the idea of a cover showing, but seeing it repeat 5 times within the same page because of the "quote" idea, is not necessary. In general, I tend to remove the picture, which should help the website and the browser in showing it ... less reloading time. I do look at it as a problem with the quoting issue on any post ... again, we don't need to repeat the whole thing with picture again, even though it looks better.
