Malformed html in attached images

Status
Not open for further replies.
When I read posts of people that have attached images on this site, see a bunch of html code showing up in their post, and the first thumbnail is not clickable to view the full sized image. The remainder of the images in the post (if there are multiple) are clickable.
Here is one example:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...elei-19-tips-tricks-donts-41.html#post9954738

Are other people seeing the same thing i see? When I view the html source for the first image, its all jumbled up:
HTML:
<a 
  onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Outgoing', 'www.<a class=', '']);" 
  rel="nofollow" 
  href="http://www.<a class="wordlink" href="http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com" target="_self"   title="ECF approved re-link">e-cigarette-forum.com</a>/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=225761&d=1372476291" 
  id="attachment225761" 
  rel="Lightbox_9954738" >
    <img 
      src="[URL="http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/view-source:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/attachments/apv-discussion/225761d1372476291t-sigelei-19-tips-tricks-donts-image.jpg"]http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/attachments/apv-discussion/225761d1372476291t-sigelei-19-tips-tricks-donts-image.jpg[/URL]" 
      border="0" 
      alt="Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts-image.jpg" 
      class="thumbnail" 
      style="float:CONFIG" 
    />
</a><br />

The href has another anchor tag embedded in it, which is obviously not valid html. It looks like some kind of auto-replace code that is trying to reformat the url. No idea why this happens only to the first image, without seeing the server code.

Also the image src attribute is getting extraneous bbcode added to it. Any chance th...ing to make the html a little easier to read.

It happens in both chrome and firefox browsers. The server is sending obviously malformed html as seen in the html source, nothing to do with the browser.

Displaying fine for me in FF, I even tried cycling through all the skins just in case the issue was evident only in a particular one and they all displayed fine

Here's what I see

Maybe it's something specific to whichever server you're connected to (ECF has a few), so maybe if you log out and clear your cache it will be different when you log back in

OK. I HAVE seen that in the past, and I do believe it depends on which server you're actually connected to. Killjoy1 made an excellent suggestion which should cure your issue.
