Title: New For Sale Auto Formatting
Post by: rich83 on September 16, 2014, 04:39:53 pm
If you venture to the Car Parts or Cars for Sale threads and try and write a post you will notice the following.

(https://daz.co/images/fs1.jpg)

Filling it in as appropriate. Selecting collection only will remove the Delivery Cost box.

If anything is missed out then the form will not post.

That results in the below being posted.

Hopefully this will make the FS section much clearer and easier to use.

Make sure the link is "clean".... e.g www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/image.jpg

If its got any rubbish surrounding in or ends in .html it wont work

Photobucket it rubbish i dont know why people use it. Dropbox is much better for stuff like this.

Photobucket will work fine providing you enter a valid url to the image.
Send me the url you are trying to enter.

Ok when you get the link from photobucket you need to select the direct link not any of the others.

I modified the page so people did not have to add [img] around the images as i thought it would be easier. If you are posting an image in for sale section direct links only please.

@wigit (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=141)

So this seems to be causing a lot of problems. I was unaware that some photo host try and generate the code for you. Its a trick for them to get a link back to their site.

Enter an invalid url now and you will see this.

Hi, what is the criteria for posting parts ? Thanks
Title: Re: New For Sale Auto Formatting
Post by: ArildStavrum on October 02, 2019, 07:20:11 am
Why is it so difficult to post pictures?
I’ve tried for 2 days to upload pictures of parts i’m trying to sell, doing a bit of a clear out.

Photobucket doesn’t work
Dropbox doesn’t work

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/b6kbykp3qm8cwrm/Photo%2001-10-2019%2C%2015%2015%2032.jpg?dl=0

I changed the start of the URL as per the message earlier in the thread and this doesn’t work either.
So frustrating.
