Cool Girl Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So, I tried to post an image on my signature and I used imgur as an image extension, but it says it can't post it because "you can't use that image extension in this community". What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's probably an abnormality with the BBCode. At the top left of the editor (for post and sigs) you'll see this button that looks like a light switch. Click that to switch to standard text only, then where you want the image type [img=ImageURL] You can then turn it back and it should be working. The BBCode in phpBB4 (what this forum uses) is flaky often times I've noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Girl Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Yeah, that didn't work. Anything else? EDT: I figured out the problem. It has to end in .png, .jpg or .gif Edited May 23, 2016 by Cool Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spineblade Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of times there'a filler after the standard image extension, and sometimes deleting it doesn't actually make any difference to the image (or so I believe, anyway).

Harem Master Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Good day, your issue helped part of my uploading problem in regards to signatures. I can now view the image in the "posting box" rather than just seeing a broken picture icon; however, upon clicking the "save changes" button, it directed me to a page saying "unable to retrieve signature image dimensions, please try another image." and as it so happens, i checked the dimensions of the image and it is way less than the 1000x1000 limit. P.S. Sorry for dragging you in this old post of yours, i just feel that my issue is somehow related this, and i feel lost... Sincerely Yours, The Harem King Edited September 21, 2016 by Harem Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
