[THROW] wilkatis_LV [THROW] Players 5,061 posts 10,702 battles Report post #3 Posted October 15, 2017 Ok, that is stupid. Pasting a link while creating a post shows the img in the message, then after you post it it's just some gibberish! WG pls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HELLO] dies_ari [HELLO] Players 351 posts 1,772 battles Report post #4 Posted October 15, 2017 Ouch, this is not good. I'll forward it to the Devs, and we'll find the issue! For now, please try to use a third-party image hosting service, like imgur, to brag about your great matches :) Like so: https://imgur.com/a/gEn4b (edit: no this is not a great game of mine, just a random WoWS screenshot^^) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the same as insert from URL, the preview works but as soon as you hit the save button it only shows the file name instead of the image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant that post the LINK itself and it works, like this: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d7/58/00/d7580022e454216f7b26bca3f0375055--pictures-with-captions-funny-animal-pictures.jpg I.e. : "Display as a link instead" As said before, embedding is the thing that doesn't work at all.

I meant that post the LINK itself and it works, like this: This is called Direct Link. If you say post the link, then it is like you do embed videos, you copy the link and paste it into the comment field and the forum software grabs it and embeds the video for direct view. Jesus sake.

My own signature works though ( wows-numbers sig image you mean right? ) but I can't see anyone else's ( guess my own is locally cached... ). edit: just for clarity to WG btw, this isn't a 'new' issue it's been happening intermittently since you switched to new theme. Just as all the nginx timeouts. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #18 Posted October 16, 2017 With all the complaints though, I should add that the auto formating is normally the only feature of the new theme which I really appreciate..... as long as it works. It's much quicker with posting images, resizes them when needed automatically and normally even image heavy threads load quicker since all images are cached on a WG server. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
