USING THE NEW FORUMS

And was that post from your real identity, or the someone else?

That's from me. Tonight I'm logged in OK, so I'll let you know next time it happens. Normally, it's another username and when I hit log out I get an error page telling me I'm not authorised to view that page. Then I logged in, went to the competitions tab and was back to the other user again. 

There's a post from OK about MA/B&W/Onkyo which for some strange reason can't be replied to....

Just test-posted on that thread and it works fine..

I still can't reply, but I see from the main page that Markjaspi has replied, but I can't see that reply!

Works fine - tested with both admin and user accounts - so suggest iot may be a caching or other browsaer problem at your end

I can't post a picture this morning, loaded it into Flickr and tried to post the link into a reply but it doesn't show in preview??

What am I doing wrong (NOW)

Test

Nope, seems to be working fine...

It might be, I'm obviously not... all that happens is I get a little box with no picture as I insert the link and then it is a blank when I preview it

Cut and paste the link into a separate browser window and see what you get, you're probably not using the correct link but without you actually posting an effort here there's no way we can tell.

that's all, she wrote...

I'm using "grab the link" on Flickr and this time I tried the "shortURL" with the same result. If I paste the same link into an empty browser window I get the picture - using Firefox if that makes any diff. Thanks

See, I got a very different URL to the one you attempted to use:

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5025/5689905500_d4227eff90.jpg

As I suspected, you're not linking to the image itself, you're linking to the page that displays the image, plus all the other guff surrounding it (a full web page in other words). The bit you need is the actual image address, from the Grab The HTML/BBCode action (it seems you need to pull the actual image address out of the code however):

How very irritating!
