I have uploaded a couple of images today, but they are not appearing in the relevant posts. I am getting the link to confirm the upload which I then copy and paste into my post, but then I only get a small box with a red cross after a short time. Any ideas?

Edit, if you try this post and hit "quote" you can see that the image link is present, just not the image itself.

It's the old problem Matt. Spaces in the file names.

Thanks Hagar. Now you mention it, Ozzy posted a reminder a couple of weeks ago

Here's a tip, from someone who Hagar will tell you was the most ham-fisted image uploader ever at one time...


Pick a prefix: two or three letters that are easy for you to remember, or relevant to you. Yours could be "exp". for example.
Now, whenever you upload an image, name it "exp" followed by the date, followed by a number if there is more than one on that date. For example: "exp12100901".

Very unlikely to have already been used, or to get used again, and... hey, wow, no spaces!

[color=#000000]It's not really related, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to post a link with clickable text. I know how to do it with a thumbnail but it's not the same.

Speaking of things we (I), don't understand. When a person copies intending to paste, but then decides not to paste, and however decides to copy and paste something else, does the new copy delete the old one?
Off topic a bit but it is Friday night here.
