Tight fart Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I've done a few links to pictures that seem to work one minute and not the next, if I click the link in Blatchat I get "The website declined to show this webpage" if I then refresh that page the picture comes up. Is this just a Blatchat bug or have I started doing links wrong? A7 RDP pics here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Manager Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well I haven't done any work on the links since adding the extra buttons to help insert them. It's quite possible the the target site won't display the picture unless you are coming from a page within their site, often this is done to prevent their bandwidth usage going sky high caused by people 'deep-linking' in an tag. Do you have any examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight fart Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes the links on the 07/07/07 half way down page 3 only work for me when I refresh the page. A7 RDP pics here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Manager Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi Richard, have a look at item 20 on this page: Webshots FAQ, I don't have a webshots account, what happens when you click the "Publish to Site/Blog" button? Does it give you a different link to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight fart Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 The "Publish to Site/Blog" button? just links to a thumbnail, some of the other options don't seem to work at all. This is what you are supposed to copy and paste for a blog or website http://thumb17.webshots.net/t/58/458/2/53/16/2176253160053588737VaSlGp_th.jpg and this for a forum http://thumb17.webshots.net/t/58/458/2/53/16/2176253160053588737VaSlGp_th.jpg That for some reason changes to http://www.blatchat.com/ http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2176253160053588737VaSlGp when copy and pasted. If that makes sense, not to worry.

Site Manager Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks for this Richard, Using webshots suggestion for a blog/website, I think that you should use the link button on our posting page and put this bit in the first box you are shown: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2176253160053588737VaSlGp In the second box, you should put your description of the image eg: Night night to end up with: Night night! The webshots suggestion for a forum will only work where images are allowed to be posted on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
