Image Attachments Fix and Error

Posts: 25
We have discovered the issue with image attachments and are working to fix that.
Unfortunately, an error was made on my part during the repairs that caused the attachment database to be deleted. This means that any new images that have been uploaded and attached to posts since the forum update (Tues. the 7th) have been permanently lost. Images that were uploaded before the update will be reinstated shortly from a previous backup we had of the old forums.
You may still be able to edit your original post and re-upload attachments that way.
Again, I apologize for this error and will do everything I can to prevent it from occurring again.

It's only one day we can live with that !, there's bound to be more troubles with the new system, but that's all apart of makinging things better.
Keep up the great work
I'm not understanding- what day supposedly lost images? None of mine went poof before, on, or after the 7th. I checked my thread and all images the 6th, 7th, 8th are there and have never disappeared.
Mine are gone but no big deal.
Novica, anything I attached (where it makes the little thumbnail you have to click on to see the full image) disappeared. Any image I linked to (uploaded to my gallery and linked to so it displays as a large image) stayed in the thread. This situation applied to anything I posted in the new forum until this "Image Attachments Fix and Error" Thread was posted.
why can't I embed this gif?

I get the pig latin with a red cross
is one of my youtube videos as a gif, a Google function if you add gif before youtube in url
Your link isn't a link to an image file. It is a link to a page that includes a player that displays your gif.
Edited to say try this link instead: https://j.gifs.com/y4kWDW.gif

Oh cool THX
Could someone tell me why inserting an image as a link to an external web page -- whether in the Daz gallery or elsewhere -- doesn't automatically, you know, make a link to the external web page with the image? Every time I've tried lately, I wind up with the image being directly clickable -- which is not at all what I want -- and a wee tiny almost invisible link underneath that says something like "This image has been resized for viewing in this software. Click for the web page the person was actually trying to direct you to."
It doesn't matter whether I use the source editor or the forum's image dealiebob. The embedded image winds up being directly viewable, and the actual link might as well not exist.
When you insert the image you also need to add the url for the web page using the link tab in the image tool. so add the image location in the image info tab, and the site URL in the link tab.
I have done exactly that before. And the forum still makes the image itself the link, no matter whether i use the method you've described or write source code directly with the Source button.
Code that looks roughly like this:
That sort of code, if you click directly on the image, should connect you out to the webpage.html being referenced. Instead, it opens the image.
For example, this image that I posted for the "It's raining men" contest. Clicking on the image itself should take you to the Daz gallery page that I loaded it on. Instead, it opens the image up in the browser. That shouldn't be happening.
EDIT: Also, I have no idea where the semicolon that's showing up in the container, above, came from. I didn't type it, and it's not in there when I edit the comment.
Use the link icon instead of the image icon. The link icon is in the group to the left of the one with the image icon. The link looks like a chain link (sort of).
If you click on the image in my sig bar, it takes you to the Bryce Forum
The source code which I have used to do that is
<p> <span class="marker"><small> </small></span> <a href="http://www.daz3d.com/forums/categories/bryce-discussion"><img alt="" src="http://www.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/FileUpload/e7/521a40ef49d17c560560053b9586d2.jpg"; style="height:80px; width:480px" /></a> </p>
With the spaces being there because I manually centred it. You would want the URL from your gallery page instead of theURL I have for the Bryce Forum
But ... that's almost exactly what I did, apart from the centering and the height declaration (I do include a width declaration). A link to the page, an img src for the image itself, close link. And I get a direct link to the image instead of a link to the image web page.
I've tried using the link icon. I've tried using the image icon. I've tried writing the code directly. And somehow I can't get it to work properly.
Ah, well. I guess I have to keep trying until I beat this forum software into behaving like actual, you know, web software.
