Help!  I can't seem to post the poster picture.  I made a link using some HP software we have, but it doesn't come out.  Any suggestions? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

I dunno bro.. I ran into the same problem awhile ago too.. can't figure it out.. I can only assume if it's not a plain photo file.. and is instead something being served off a server or going through another cgi or something it doesn't show up...
IMAGE PROBLEM: Hajj Seminar London January 4, 2003

  The problem is that the URL of the IMG cannot be so long that the 'http' begins on a new line in the message field when we post messages.

In this example, I'm using round brackets '( )'  instead of square '[]' brackets:


(img)http://www.reallylonguniversalresourcelocation.uma/poster.jpg(/img)

and/or

(img)http://www.domain.uma/image.gif(/img)

WOULD WORK correctly, whereas

(img)
http://www.reallyreallylonguniversalresourcelocation.uma/poster.jpg(/img)

and/or

(img)
http://www.domain.uma/343/uk45/89/images/hajj/london/poster.jpg(/img)

WON'T WORK.

Proof # 1:

In the above example look closely and you'll notice 'lond on'  NOT  'london'.
the '...lond' was exactly at the end of my line of text during submitting this message.

Proof # 2:

I simply linked the logo off of my website, it's a relatively short url, hence it fits on one line and shows up on the message board.

   And Now ..............

        Dromroll please...........................

The location for the above image JUST fits onto one complete line of text:

http://tyo.ca/islambank.community/images/hajjseminarlondon4jan2003.jpg


hence we can see it, whereas, the following image location, due to the
addition of only FIVE more characters, 'thumb', expands the url to a new
line and it WON'T appear:

It's the same problem I have when trying to put 'IslamBank.Community' in my madina profile,

YaBB breaks it and prefers 'IslamBank.Com munity'  instead.


I finally gave up and now use the silent 'm' solution: 'IslamBank.Com unity'.


Now y'know what the problem is, and like G.I. Joe useta say in all those saturday morning cartoons, 'Knowing is half the battle.'


Salam,

Jazaka Allahu khairan, brother HIMY.  
Since I used the HP share to web service they named it whatever they wanted,  I probably will have the same problem again, unless I put it on a private webiste and name it myself.  It is really good to know the problem and possible solution.
Again, May Allah reward you for posting the poster that I could not.

P.S. Sister Jannah, I'm a sis.  :-)
