IPB no pics show in posts?

[Trueno22]

when I post an image using the img tag it only shows text. "posted image" how can I get images to show?

 

[iFlames]

can you link me?

Doesn't generally happen :S
A link will be better.

Are you sure you're not using this bb code?

unfortunately not. I got pissed the images wouldn;t show up and erased the installation.

but basically where the img I post should be it just says posted image it doesn't actually show the image.

^ That happens to me whenever the image host I use is down. Check if your ip isn't blocked or anything.

 

[Trueno22]

well I am hosting 2 sites on the same ip. and the imaged work just fine on my blog.

You erased the installation? :S
So well, you're installing it again?

well I am debating on making a ipb or a phpbb forum. But I have issues with both. with IPB just the picture issue. With PHPBB when I install phpbbbseo and update the htaccess file the fucker still won;t let me see individual topics keeps saying 404 not found.

That's mostly because the .htaccess file hasn't been properly edited. This has happened with me many times before (On vB) :S

Why don't you try vB? (version 3.8)

I tried vb 4 with vbseo and I guess vbseo wasn't properly nulled cause one day everythign just stopped working. when I disabled it everything wen't back to normal lol.

vB4 has a built-in seo :S

 

[Trueno22]

really? damn oh well. do you think vb 3.8 is a better option though?

 

[Royal King]

vB3.8 is cool. I'm using it on my forum atm.

vB4 is a rip of IPB :-?

If you are using ipb v3 there is an option in the acp settings that ask if you want the image to show or just the link. Same img bbcode as here.

Attached Image Options
Show uploaded images in post as images?
If set to "yes", any image attachments in a post will be shown as the image and not as a downloadable link. Set this to yes to allow members to position their image attachments in the post using the [attachmentid] tag.

Also v3 has bult in seo also.
