nj2va Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've been trying to post images after uploading them to Imgur but when I use the "Image" link to copy/paste the Imgur link, I get the "?" icon in Safari and when I click post, the following error comes up, "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. It told you. Wrong image extension. .jpg always works. I don't think .png does. I believe I tried a few times to post a .png with the same results you are having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 .png should work. The accepted extensions are gif, jpg, jpeg, and png. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah, I've been trying with .jpeg and I still get the same message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That png worked for me. I have no problems with uploads. Can you give me the image url to try on my end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That png worked for me. I have no problems with uploads. Can you give me the image url to try on my end? My memory must have been bad. Sorry about the wrong info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I tried a straight up .JPG too and it didn't work: Hmm, now it worked. I didn't try the image icon and copying and pasting the link, so maybe I should just copy and paste the IMG code right into the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Okay I'm all good now, thank you both for the help. Seems like my problem was using the Image link to paste the code instead of directly into my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've been having this same problem for years now and nothing works, the fix stated above doesn't show the image within the post just the links to it. I get that error message for all those extensions listed when using the tags and image button. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/45143-lol-jeb-is-running/#entry4004032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Here's another: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/46131-marco-rubio-just-informally-announced-his-candidacy-for-president-on-fox-news/page-21#entry4040874 That's the first time I got the image to show with the tags. Weird, I tried that weeks ago and no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Just checked my attachments, which I never use. It is filled with snowfall and storm maps from Connecticut and the NE. 72 of them. I'll leave them for a while in case Wow wants to take a look and can figure out where they came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is board wide it may have something to do with the slowdowns. Someone much smarter than I will be looking at it I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing....that is a ton of redundant file storage if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and they seem to have been put in in batches. Since the times are listed it will be easy to see if they correspond with the slowdowns.

Wow Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I see the same. They seem to be coming from some of Quincy's old blog posts. There are thousands of copies of them. I've deleted the blog posts and currently deleting all of the attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am over my attachment quota because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
