Broken images

[Alexneushoorn]

No matter what I do, whenever I put an image URL in a PM, it appears to be broken according to the preview. Can someone help me with this?

 

[Dr. Javelin]

show me an example of the text you use that doesn't work in pm

 

[Alexneushoorn]

Sure thing, here it is:


200px-Platypunk_FS

That's not an image though. Well at least not a url image.

 

[Alexneushoorn]

It's a file name that is used when I put a picture of Fortune Street Platypunk in a map.


I tried it with other image URL's, but it still won't work. I can't do crap with images, and if I can't use images in PM's, I'll be unable to send out rolecards for Alex Mafia.

The image needs to uploaded to the Internet via Photobucket/imgur/dropbox/etc. and then you can use that url to hotlink it here.

Use this:

[IMG]http://www.mariowiki.com/images/d/d7/Platypunk_FS.png[/IMG]

Or if you want the 200px wide version you talk about,

[IMG]http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/d/d7/Platypunk_FS.png/200px-Platypunk_FS.png[/IMG]

that's not the full url for an image

i believe the url you're looking for is

https://data.archive.moe/board/co/thumb/1347/17/1347174582497s.jpg

don't put the file name in the img tags, put the file location in the img tags

for example

[IMG]200px-Platypunk_FS[/IMG]

is not going to work because it's not linking to a webpage
whereas

[IMG]https://data.archive.moe/board/co/thumb/1347/17/1347174582497s.jpg[/IMG]

becomes

if you want to find an image's location, simply right click on the image and click "copy image location". that should give you the right url

Use this:

[IMG]http://www.mariowiki.com/images/d/d7/Platypunk_FS.png[/IMG]

Or if you want the 200px wide version you talk about,

[IMG]http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/d/d7/Platypunk_FS.png/200px-Platypunk_FS.png[/IMG]

oh, this is a mariowiki thing. i just searched "200px-Platypunk_FS" in google and found one on 4chan lol

 

[DragonFreak]

Oh I would have never guessed it came from the wiki.

Ok either one of those will work.

 

[Lakituthequick]

I recognized the "200px-" part and underscore as a MediaWiki thing.

 

[Alexneushoorn]

Alright, I'll give it a try. Thanks, fella's. This can be locked now.

For the record before this locks, when you are on an image page on the wiki, just click on the image itself and copy the URL in the adressbar. That is the image's link to use.

If the resulting image is really big though, rightclick instead and hit Copy Image Address (or in Dutch, Afbeeldingskoppeling/link kopiëren) or something alike.
