Unable to place images...

I'm almost positive that I'm the only one seeing this since I know ally can load imgs in her posts, but every time I try to load one though the site I get error messages. First too big then not jpg and even when I try hosting them on other sites they won't post in the img tags. I get a message about it not being able to determine its size.

It depends which link you are using to use the IMG tags. It has to be the direct link.

[CharlotteC]

It always is the direct link

Can you show us an example link?

This is probably caused by a conflicting file prefix and type. For example, if the image file has a .PNG prefix, but was changed into a JPEG at some point, it can confuse some programs.

You should try changing the file type manually via photo editor and that might work to fix it. <3

Included is a helpful demo link for what I mean: click - not my work.

Problem is I only have my phone and had to remove my only photo editor for space reasons. So no way to change what my phone takes. Also, I never used to have problems with sharing photos from my phone before.

[Azraeth]

If you email the images to me, I'm happy to get them in the right file type. <3

Tossing you my email via PM now!

It could help us to track down any bugs if you're able to show us a link that isn't working for you. The attachment feature can be odd, but links from off site hosts should work if it can read the file size.

Well like on the curse bug I just posted, I first tried to load them on the page but was given the "must be less than 200 KiB" message so then I loaded them onto my imgur account and got the "must be less than 700 pixels" message so I cropped the screen caps and was able to get them to show. That being said, when I check the attachments I have hosted though here, I haven't had to crop them and didn't have a problem loading them onto the site before, my phone hasn't changed in 4 years so it's not like I got a bigger screen or have changed the settings for my pics (which is impossible since there isn't that function).

As for the link I had problem with before that was me getting used to imgur since photobucket has been acting up in general for me.
