Broken link for introducing yourself
« on: February 22, 2023, 12:50:44 PM »
Hello! As I just joined, I am providing you with the newcomers' experience. There is a link at the top right of the forum (it says "News:" right above it) that says, "Guests, welcome! Please introduce yourself" and it points to an old link at www.filmspotting.net/boards -- I swapped the topic query param into the URL at this board and landed in the right place. http://forum.filmspotting.net/index.php?topic=527.0

It's also a link centered at the top of the boards sometimes, too. I've attached screenshots of the two broken links I encountered. I tried to attach images of where the links are but the attachment size restriction kept changing on me until I was left with an image so small it wasn't legible at all :P

Thanks!

For images you can set the display size, also if the image has been resized if you click on the image (in a post) it will show the original size.

using the following:
Code: [Select]
Original
[img]https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/vTmdrJPl3fdDrINIdY1g9iAwexj.jpg[/img]

Height set
[img height=400]https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/vTmdrJPl3fdDrINIdY1g9iAwexj.jpg[/img]

Width set
[img width=400]https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/vTmdrJPl3fdDrINIdY1g9iAwexj.jpg[/img]

This is how these display

@Dave thanks, but those are for including images hosted elsewhere. I was trying to attach screenshots I took on my laptop using the “Attachments and other options”

I do not think that has ever worked, people upload those sort of images to an image hosting site and then link to that (tinypic used to be a popular option, but that has gone the way of the dodo)
