Howdy, y'all.
The display function used to view uploaded photos on the FootBuddies message boards is broken, with no date from the management as to when it will be repaired.
But fear not: all is not lost. It is still possible to show off your photos here. There is an alternate method I recommend you use until such time as the current problem is resolved.
Those of you who have captured screenshots or have other photos you wish to share should upload them to a free photo storage service such as TinyPic (http://tinypic.com/ (http://tinypic.com/)). You do not need to register an account there to be able to use their service.
Once you've uploaded your photo, TinyPic gives you the URL of where the copy of that photo is now being kept. Simply copy the URL, then click on the Insert Image button http://www.footbuddies.com/forum/images/editor/insertimage.gif located on the toolbar at the top of the message entry window, then paste the URL over the http:// that is the default entry.
You'll then be able to view the pics inline, and full size.
As an example, I uploaded this photo to TinyPic:
http://i46.tinypic.com/jh9cw0.jpg
The URL provided to me by TinyPic is:
http://i46.tinypic.com/jh9cw0.jpg (http://i46.tinypic.com/jh9cw0.jpg)
Several people on the boards already use this and similar methods to post photos.
As promised in another post, I'll keep you informed on any updates of the current situation. I appreciate the patience of the vast majority of our membership.
