Picture visibility test thread

[trux]

I see nothing either. And I belive it is probably a file or category permission problem - that explains why Benny (as a moderator) can see the pictures while others not. Normally, I can copy and paste the URL of an image in any post, directly to the browser address field and can see it. Perhaps Roy links to previously uploaded images using a private URL, instead of uploading the pictures, or instead of using a public URL. Or perhaps is his account restricted, or over quota?

At these pictures I am getting the following error:

trux, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Is someone fiddling with the server system?

hello again.

In my first post i attached the pictures using the forum software (manage attachement under the post-field)

The second time i opened the picture, copied the url and used the 'insert image' function.

I can of course see the pictures, or else i would delete the post, as the pictures is a vital part of it.

At first i was trying to use imageshack, but had a lot of trouble uploading, so i tried the above mentioned methods...

Hope to hear an answer to this weird problem...

The reason is we don't allow the [IMG] tag in all forums (in fact it should be disabled everywhere but some have slipped through in permissions). If you must use the Manage Attachment option to manage you images.

Thanks

[sanso]

that last one works for me.

Might have an answer - just waiting for confirmation from Papa Smurf.......

[Stuart]

I can see this one now!

[Gwaihir]

why dont you allow the [img] ? in deeper blue forum ?

[BennyB]

Problem identified!

Roy and a few others on the forum (including myself) have done the wonderful DeeperBlue Deep Tank freediving course and therefore have access to a separate section of the DeeperBlue.net forum that most users don't have access to.

Roy initially posted a similar thread in this forum with photos attached. The problem occurred when he replicated his post in the Freedive Equipment section and uploaded the photos by linking them to the hidden section. Since most users can't see the hidden section, they consequently could not see the photos.

This hasn't happened in any of the forums before so it befuddled all of us. Thanks Roy for testing our grey matter here, you learn something new every day!

Cheers,
Ben
