Question: How do you link a picture?

by **Hob Took** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 1:04 pm

I've serached and can't seem to find anything on the subject, so here it is, how do you create an image that is a link? I know how to create each separately, but I don't know how to create them together. Any help would be greatful.

It's easy:

Code: Select all: [url=http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=292374] [img]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/danielz/c-a-s-t-l-e/996-GorgCastle/thumb/001.jpg_thumb.jpg[/img][/url]

Any photo you're linking to MUST end in a .jpg. It's that file name that designates a photo.

For example, this is a link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10279741@N ... 337787845/

But this is a link to an actual photo:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/124/3471 ... 354ef7.jpg

Look carefully: the second link ends with a .jpg.

Does that make more sense?

You can't have searched very hard, because in the admin announcements thread, which everyone should have read, I've got a huge post on the subjects of images, including images as links.

This is an old post. I think it was posted before you posted that.

Oops, my bad. Why did this thread come back to life, then? Ah, well, I should pay more attention.

It came back to life because I was trying to follow the instructions to post a picture.

Alright I've got everything figured out except how to link the picture.
Oh, and by the way thanks for the help earlier Darkie.

You got spaces between the [url]-tag and the [img]-tag. Without these gaps it works:

Apparently I didn't look to hard to figure out how to do this as I am just now learning from this thread. XD

Purty neat stuff though.

WOOHOO! I finally got it to work!

MUST?

PNGs work as well, and, while larger, are non degrading, and so last longer.

Sorry for being off topic!
