jake b. (cerybut), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 11:10 (twenty years ago)

xpost - no offence intended, but this is something that has long piqued my curiosity on the ILM board. i haven't found any posting guidelines that suggest what html or special codes are allowed or disallowed in a posting here. and as such I can't explain why there are so MANY misfires in posting images (twice in this thread that I can see). often in place of images there is a hyperlinked iURL.

now, i don't frequent any other boards to know if "i + the img URL" is a universal way of posting images in message boards. but for all the times I see it in ILM as showing a hyperlink instead of a picture it seems that it doesn't work here. what's the deal? and how can someone misfire on one picture in a comment but properly post two more? whenever i post a pic i've been doing the whole html for it img src= yadda yadda. is there some fancy shortcut that works sometimes but not all the time that I don't know about? i'm mystified. i don't get it. is there something I am misunderstanding? does it look the same to everyone?

now "xpost" is something i haven't seen elsewhere (note my previous admission of not frequenting other boards) but I think I figured that one out. the misposting of images though, continues to mystify. ILM, reveal your mysteries to me!

What the fuck is that Altarboyz album??

Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

cheers. i guess i hadn't seen that before and despite looking (i'm a little thick i guess). why then, does it seem like that the "it will be expanded to the HTML equivalent" misfires sometimes? is it just me? i mean the misfired image link in this posting From the putrid depths comes...COVER CONNECTIONS APRIL 2005 EDITION! looks like it was constructed properly. was it not?

gspm (gspm), Thursday, 28 April 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

gspm: my impression was that the i+url would fail if the image was above a certain size. if it works, it is turned into the html img src= blah blah. above, alex in nyc's looks like it failed because he left a space between the i and the url. i always use the img src= blah and it has never failed.

i've never seen the i+url shortcut on any other board. more often, they have alternate tags instead of normal html, like [i] or [b] or [link=url] or something, i'm assuming so they can block all html tags and keep people from doing naughty things.

on that note, testing something: < > &#lt; &#gt;

maybe that's been done. but as a change of pace i thought I'd try to contribute to this thread because there must be a thread on ILX someplace for the kind of questions I've brought here.

gspm (gspm), Thursday, 28 April 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

Let's rectify that (jeez, the justifiably forgotten Earons have never gotten so much exposure!)

Bit of a stretch, this one...but the former reminded me of the latter.

Holy shit...that Deep Purple/Buzzcocks match is perfect!

I know, I was just browsing an online shop, saw the Deep Purple cover and thought "That looks a hell of a lot like Singles Going Steady. I know where to let the world know of this discovery."

Although the connection is a little bit loose, this being ILM and given what one of the albums is this has probably been done before;
