as Plazma pointed out, the correct syntax would be: [ img ]http://www.yorktownbridgeclub.com/web/test/craps20million.jpg[ /img ] A little breakdown of what's going on for the layman: Usually a webmaster will "lease" a domain name, this domain name will be registered as apart of a particular TLD (Top Level Domain) like .com, org .net .biz etc The domain can have "Subdomains", in fact the "www" part of a domain is actually a Subdomain, it just represents a standardized "world wide web" format, you wouldn't expect to have a server respond running another services like VoIP, or Newsgroups etc Most domains "default" the actual domain to the "www" server, thats why you'll find if you type in http://sciforums.com or http://www.sciforums.com you'll get the same site (although the cookies will be different) Most "shared hosts" (site providers that use one server to serve many different websites to many different servers) will have rigged up an "FTP" subdomain, this just aids in pointing your browser or FTP program to the correct server that is being used for "File Transfers". When you use "FTP" on those particular types of hosts, you will often find that you are "Jailed" to your Webserver root folder. This basically means whatever you put in that folder will appear in a similar folder structure online (under the "www" subdomain) For instance if you uploaded to ftp.fubar.orp to a folder structure of \pictures\photo.jpg then you'd likely be able to see the photo online by typing Http://www.fubar.orp/pictures/photo.jpg This of course is just a simplified explaination, in reality your Webroot might not be the first folder you access, it might be one named "public_html". In the instance of your test URL, it's possible that the "web" folder was your root folder, which would make the URL http://yorktownbridgeclub.com/test/craps20million.jpg
Thanks for laying your inhibitions aside here guys, I'm quite impressed. I really enjoyed poring through the stanchions of the bridge club. If I'm not very much mistaken, that's Stryder, seventeenth from the right with a head like a badly laced footy that's been left out in the rain. To say dinosaur looked a bit fossilised would be just plain trite. My bridge is actually very good, well at least since the facio-maxillary surgeon sorted out the state of my nasion.
http://yorktownbridgeclub.com/test/craps20million.jpg At least the above (With img & /img in brackets) resulted in an attempt to display an image. Will try the following with img & /img in brackets. http://www.yorktownbridgeclub.com/test/craps20million.jpg Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
At least the last two tries attempted to upload an image. Perhaps one of the following is the problem. .jpg files format not allowed 233,957 bytes too big.
Enmos: When I look at it with FTP.Explorer (the FTP program I use to maintain the Yorktown Site), it seems to be there. Maybe There is some typo that I am overlooking. Might SciForums need a password to do the download?
The links in post 12 do not point to an existing image. Perhaps the reason you see it is because it's in your cache? If you need a password to download, Sci can't get to it of course..
If the server is *nix based then it's likely that the filename and pathnames are actually CASE-SENSETIVE, so you might well have to re-write how you've entered the URL. You should actually be able to test viewing the image just by typing the URL in the browser.
