Photobucket boycott?

[ArmySGT.]

When I post a pic kept at photobucket it won't appear here but does on another website. such as...........

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j218/ArmySGT_photos/Smileys%20and%20toons/popcorneater.gif

I had thought it was any photo depicting firearms but now I see it is anything.

Is photobucket boycotting BHM?

My Photobucket pics are working.

mine do fine also. I had some trouble at one point but it was my fault because of one little screw up in my typing

Not a typo. right click on the IMG tag, copy, and paste. The exact same Smiley works in an entirely different forum. Could be the forum software, maybe this version is not so supportive of photobucket IMG tags.

I'm guessing that it is something on your end.
There are two Photobucket pics in the following thread that work just fine....

Your avatar is hosted via Photobucket and that is displaying just fine.

The problem is the %20 characters that represent spaces when sending over the net.

Here is your code (with spaces added in the IMG tags so they'll display)

[ IMG ]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j218/ArmySGT_photos/Smileys%20and%20toons/popcorneater.gif[ /IMG ]

which results in this:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j218/ArmySGT_photos/Smileys%20and%20toons/popcorneater.gif

Here is the address with spaces instead of the %20 code:

[ IMG ]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j218/ArmySGT_photos/Smileys and toons/popcorneater.gif[ /IMG ]

which displays this:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j218/ArmySGT_photos/Smileys and toons/popcorneater.gif

When the Forum processes IMG tags, it takes everything literally, so the %20 is not sent as space code but as a literal %20. That breaks the link.

Dontcha just love the mysterious ways things work online. ;D

Except I don't type them, I copy and paste. This makes it a code issue. YABB doesn't like photobucket it seems.

Thanks Oliver. I was wondering since I only have this trouble with BHM and no where else on the net.

Wouldn't doubt it, if it was liberal politics trying to stick it to BHM.

I've had issues with some of my photobucket pictures not posting too.

That 20% thing I'll keep an eye on. Thanks.
