    Sometimes it just shows the link instead of the picture.

    Can sure kill a good joke. :(

    Images I usually link to photobucket using tage- that still works fine.

    Linking to an online image works most of the ime, but occasionally only shows the code insetad of the image.

    Attachments, however, it's a complete tossup if it'll show the image or a link:

    Forbin, just looking at your attachments, all the ones that autoloaded have a .JPEG extension, whereas the one that is a link has a .JPG extension. They're both the same thing, but it looks like the software handles them differently.

    No, it's about the image size, with an issue relating to the particular build of PHP we have... I was going to ask the host to change it, but I had one of those coding epiphanies at work Thursday afternoon, and worked 8 hours solid Friday and wasn't online at all yesterday. Suffice to say, attachments that need to become thumbnails will not work inline until it's fixed.

    EDIT: actually wait, Nick was supposed to email them. Nick!

    That can't be right - I always save my pics with JPG extensions. Some stuff i download has the fell JPEG, yes, but nothing I persoanlly create.

    I'd believe the size explanation, though. Gotta check files sizes before I post.

    ^Pixel sizes actually. It could be a 4kb image of the Libyan flag, but if it's over a certain pixel size...
