Title: photos not appearing (alt)
Post by: dangerousvideo.com on February 15, 2020, 08:15:35 PM
Hi all...

For the past few weeks, the example below keeps happening when I make a post. Is it a known issue and is there a fix?

Thanks!

nothing? little help here...

Other producers photos are showing up. Why aren't mine?

There's really not much point to continuing to use this site if photos aren't showing up for me. No one is going to be intrigued by my wonderful text.  ;D

I dont know what the problem is. But I was able to post pics from different websites with the insert image button. So I'd say it must have something to do with your website. So rather than putting the pics in from links you can upload them to the posts

I tried uploading them but theres a very small size limit and it didnt work.

I'm doing what I always did with regards to my site. Using the insert image button. Its a direct link to the photos, so I dont know what's changed.

And just an update, all of my photos are done from posts going back years. Replaced with the {alt} thing. It's strange.

We've been having exactly the same issue for a month or so and I'm not really sure where to go for help on this.  Our older posts are not showing graphics either.  I've even tried loading photos from other websites and they don't work either.   May we are on double secret probation or something,  but I'm not aware of anything we might have done to cause this,  but it certainly looks account related to me rather than website related.

If anybody has any ideas or know someone we should be contacting we would sure like to here from you.

Glad I'm not the only one!

It's annoying for sure. I have no clue whats doing it, so no clue how to fix whatever it is, and I've tried everything

Attaching photos works...kinda. Just have to make sure the photo is small enough. Less than 260kb is kinda small.

Can you try serving the images over https instead of http?

I can contact my server, but I'm not sure of the work, time, and expense that would mean.

Is that the issue?

When hotlinking images, it used to be possible to resize them using modifiers to the tag:
Code: [Select]
[img width={width} height={height} ...]{url}[/img]
This functionality is presently broken and I assume that the root issue is related to the {alt} error somehow.  In the example below,  I am attempting to resize the image from a height of 241 pixels to 500, but the tag has no effect.

Code: [Select]
[img height=500]https://www.bbcode.org/images/bbcode_reference.png[/img]
While https vs http works as a fix for getting an image to display properly, not having this functionality would mean that each and every image inserted into a post would have to be resized at its source.

Seems like this is in good hands!
