oracid Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I know how to embed an image but it does not work. When I paste the url, the buttons in the little window are not enabled and I can't even close that window. I have a PC with Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer. Thank you for helping. Quote
samurai-turtle Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Internet Explorer. I think right their is your problem. I would suggest trying a different browser and see if it works. Quote
L@go Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 He was being serious. IE does not cooperate well with the software this forum uses, which means you probably have two choices: a) try another browser or b) live with the bugs you're experiencing. Quote
oracid Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I am serious too ! And like most of the people of this world, I will stay with Internet Explorer. Thank you, anyway. Quote
oracid Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 I have found the solution to my problem. The best is to not use the picture icone. The solution is just to paste the url of your image from your site with the img tags, here an example from hostingpics.net [ img]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/128866sIMG9669.jpg[/img ] (beware, you can this example, because I have put the white character in img tags) And of course, this Works with Internet Explorer.

samurai-turtle Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 No, tanks, I love IE and Microsoft too. I am serious too ! And like most of the people of this world, I will stay with Internet Explorer. Thank you, anyway. Who are you "Bill Gates"? (I am sorry if that is a little jerky.) I like to think most people have IE still on their computer but just are not using it. But, Congratulation on finding a solution you are happy with. Quote
dr_spock Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Good stuff, you found the work around. I usually use the copy and paste method and manually type in the img tags if there are not there like for Brickshelf images. Microsoft is replacing Internet Explorer in Windows 10 with Edge browser (nee Spartan). Quote
Prairie Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Also, it's safest to re-upload any images to something like imgur. Sometimes if you view an image directly on a website or blog, it's already loaded in your browser so it shows fine for you. But when you copy its URL and put it in a message here, it will count as "hotlinking" so the next person to try to see it from your message might not get it. Quote
Karle Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I'm having the same problem. I'll try the work around and see if they work for me. What browser do you suggest will up grading to windows 10 take care of the problem. Quote
oracid Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 I gave the answer to this problem a few lines above. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Either get a browser that isn't a little bit borked or you hand code, by putting in the [img= and ] manually around the image URL. Quote
