Problems getting pictures to show up

[Asagi]

I've used several forums in this same format as MLPTP and I'm totally clueless on what's the problem... I upload my pictures into Photobucket and no matter whether I try to put it withing IMG tags, or make redirecting link into text for a picture, it won't work. When I press preview, the code gets changed so that the part of the link changes into * marks and does not work then. Any idea what's wrong? And I totally copy the right links into the post and even tried copy/paste from working forum posts elsewhere.

Do you have an example of an image you're trying to put? It usually is:

[IMG] IMAGE_HERE [/IMG]

If they are already loaded into photobucket and you want to post pictures here, you can right click for properties, highlight the pic url, then click this picture when you make a thread/post >. A small box will appear and you can paste the url. Then click OK, picture should be there

yeah I've tried straight IMG tag copy from photobucket and with that image insert

this is how the code always goes after preview:

[IMG] photobucket.com/albums/***/username/MLP/picture.jpg [/IMG]

as you can see, it inserts those * marks for some reason after the album part :S

i think that happens sometimes if the word is filtered, or a part of your word contains a word that is filtered

not sure

I wondered too, but that part is the one which photobucket inserts itself and contains only random alphabets and numbers

[cannibalcow]

can you post just the link to the page itself? not the pic url? i'll see if i can get it to work
