I can't load pics... WTF
It is a known problem from after the server migration and it is being worked on.

In the meantime, there are many free image hosting web sites you can use to post your pics on ECF. I posted one above with instructions. It's very easy to do.


I still can’t upload pics. Is anyone else having this issue?
@classwife not sure if a moderator has seen my post under the Help thread.

nvm I am using a pic host site!

Thanks sara
Management knows about the problem and is working on it.


The reason images are not posting has to do with RTF not working. RTF = Rich Text Format. RTF is what allows us to post images via XenForo (forum sw) on ECF.


They will get it resolved. They are doing their best in trying to resolve several outstanding problems related to the migration.

Everyone just needs to be patient. :)

What am I doing wrong???
The first one, the smaller image, looks like a Thumbnail to me. IDK for sure but maybe you copied the "Thumbnail for forums" code and pasted it into your post here???

A Thumbnail, using "Thumbnail for forums" is like this one...



This one, full sized, is using the code copied from "Hotlink for forums"...


You only want the code: [ url = https : //postimages.org/] [ img ] https : //i. postimg. cc/ NfYmtPTV/ Tahiti. jpg[ / img ] - note I added several spaces so the code itself would be visible.
https://postimages.org/
Sometimes the Postimages website appends additional code after the above code. You do not want that code.

Hope that helps!

@ricks, @Fidola13 and anyone else looking to post photos...

There are many free image sites to use to post your pics on ECF.

Besides the one I posted (postimages . org above) any of the following will work:

imgur . com
imgbb . com
freeimagehosting . net
postimages . org

    I know imgur works well. I used to use imgbb quite a bit but suddenly none of the links worked on ecf. I contacted support but they were no help.

    The one you posted earlier is super easy to use once you posted and highlighted the selection for me. Thanks again.

    Please see if you can get in on your original account now
    (make sure you log out of this one and that it's not PW saved)
    What does PW saved mean? I am only able to get in just now today. After reading some scrabbled messages I saw where Doffy said to scroll down and click to default. It worked. What a nightmare

    I use imgbb. Once it's uploaded - I copy the link they give into a window, right click that and choose view image. Then that gives me the actual image's URL to copy, bypassing their coding. If it's a pic already there, same thing just right click it etc.

    I used imgbb for a long time for reviews until the URL’s didn’t work any more and their customer support couldn’t help. That’s why I switched to Imgur.
