surfy_sah Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 hello I hope this is the right place to post this topic... I saved a bunch of images to my photobucket area instead of linking them directly from the web so not to use up people's bandwith... but I keep getting this error message: THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif this is the address of the image I tried to link http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/sur...sah/karlbed.bmp I don't understand why it won't work, how should I be linking the images if not by right clicking, properties then c&p the url? please help!!! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 22, 2004 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2004 BMP files are usually higher quality files, therefore the size of the files are usually bigger. I think this forum might not allow BMP posting ... just GIF and JPG files because they are lower file sizes so load quicker. U'll have to save it as a JPG and upload it again if u wanna post it ... that's what I'm assuming anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lady Elanor Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Nah I've posted BMPs, it might be that you have the settings in photobucket set to private, which will stop you hotlinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropsy2008 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) How can i use photobucket to upload pictures to this forum, i copied the url and pasted it in the image icon but it says i can't use this extension. Any help would be appreciated. It is a jpeg btw. Edited June 10, 2014 by cropsy2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Did you try posting a BMP image? The error message you are getting sounds like it. The forum software is very iffy with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropsy2008 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply. My computer says the image i'm trying to upload is a jpeg file. Is there another website you recomend using for photo uploads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I mainly use Photobucket personally. I know others have recommended imageshack.us, but I have no personal experience there. If you want just post the link here, then I'll have a look what the problem may be. Maybe it's the file size. The forum did have some odd error messages lately. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropsy2008 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) ok will do, here is the link this is just a photo i was using as the test. Thanks for all the help QS. EDIT-- haha, did i just need to post the link itself? not in the image url space? lol, problem solved. I will probably do a few more test in this thread if thats ok.

Queen_Sindel Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I just tried and for me it works with the image link and the direct link. I must admit I never tried posting just the link. Maybe we just blame the forum gremlins. Yeah, please feel free to do a couple of test posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
