Child of Flame Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well, I've started to learn HTML, and knowing that most UBB/PHPBB/whatever code is a sort of bastardization of HTML, I decided to see if I could use an image as a hotlink....alot of people probably already know this, but it's a useful feature for those who don't. So far, I've found out it works in PHPBB, vBulletin, Invision Power Board (what this forum's software is based on). To do it, you just take the address you want to link the image to, and use the tag, then sandwich an And just to prove it works: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/Sevantoferu/snfbanner.gif' alt='snfbanner.gif'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child of Flame Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Goddamn it! A magician never shares his secrets! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not a magician, I'm an amateur codemonkey. And if none of the better coders ever shared their secrets, I'd be learning HTML a whole lot slower than I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 You can also use the handy IMG button (or use ALT+G) above your message box screen and the forum software will automatically apply the appropriate code tags to the image URL you provide.

JonIrenicus Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Nice! Life... is strength. That is not to be contested; it seems logical enough. You live; you affect your world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Of course you can, but where's the sense of accomplishment in that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wasn't aware that knowing how to link an image was any sort of significant accomplishment... People have been doing it here for ages. Using the IMG button will also show you the necessary code anyways, when it places it into your message. But.. I'm glad you figured it out.
