Picture Posting-Problems

[enigmas]

I had some difficulty posting some pix on the board tonight and couldn't work out why I was having so much difficulty since it is usually quite straight forward.

I've found that if the pictures that are to be uploaded are in a folder with a lengthy name the picture will fail to appear on the board.

By reducing the number of characters in the folder name the picture will appear.

Another picture posting problem I found today is that using the IMG tag to link to a picture hosted at Picasa or another hosting site will fail if the URL is SSL secured (https://), which is the default for Google. Just remove the "s" so that the URL starts with "http://" instead and it will work just fine.

Perhaps someone can update the sticky above with this information?
