I only placed the large image once but it has displayed twice! Why is it so

Did you use the PREVIEW button .. always essential when testing out anything unfamiliar?

Yes I did but I could not see how to amend the codes so that the duplicated image would be deleted.

If it happens again I will do a screen shot and post that.

top image was taken straight from my computer ( which we can do now)
and that's the size it comes out here.

Second image same scan but I uploaded it through imgbox at 800x800
as can be seen a larger image.

Is there a way to make the image that is already scanned on my computer larger without going through imgbox ?

kuikka · Post by **kuikka** » 06 Jun 2020 04:45

Have you checked the size of your original image? Was it scaled up to imgbox?

It appears right now that inline images uploaded to the board are working, but external images are not -- you wait a bit, some "broken image" icons appear, and you can click "open in new tab" to see them but they don't show up in the post.

Wide-ranging statements (highlighted) make it impossible to investigate and no one else has reported anything similar. Can you please provide some examples of "external" images not loading so we can look into it. Thank you.

I think I see what is happening, but am not sure why. Images that have an "https" as the beginning of their URL display properly. The ones that don't (some of us are in the habit of changing them, since they didn't work on the old board) are not displaying.

NO KIDDING!!!

I really wonder why Margo takes so much time to clearly spell out things in post #1 of this VERY thread, so Members can cheerfully say they cannot understand why they are not seeing things.

It is still possible to add images via third party image hosting sites.

Popular ones include www.imgbox.com or the even better www.imageshack.com - both simple to use -

And remember, you now do not have to remove the ''S'' from end of https - in fact do NOT do that please, or images will generally not display here.

N.B. For IMGUR users - that hosting site is now fully compatible with Stampboards, but must not be used for the Sales Forum, as always.

Hi if anyone who could kindly tell me which countries in the British Empire used these Victorian stamps, I would be pleased to know.
I have tried my best to work it out but I am stumped.
Thanks for any help

They are for UK. Although they might have been used at offices abroad. I cannot check the cancels now.

This is a fine example of the huge 1024 size, posted by a member above, that we can now host here - forever!

The huge transition of both servers and phpBB software seems to have gone super smoothly, and Yuriy in New York has very quickly and efficiently fixed a bunch of irritating little glitches the Mods have pointed out today, so all is sailing along like clockwork.

BRILLIANT being able to load huge images (above) direct from a laptop here! They are auto saved to the stampboards domain, and never again will photobucket, IMGUR, or IMGBOX or others give us any grief.

We now have over a MILLION stamp images here saved forever. I booked a very large server to host it all, so we are good for keeps now.

All of this is only possible when we have a phpBB Whizz like Yuriy to assist - I am a Total Tech Trog, have no idea at all on this stuff, and have never even sent a text message. If it were up to my 'skills', we'd be using blunt chisels and sandstone tablets to post our messages here!

Yuriy truly deserves a few gallons of strong coffee, and a car load of pizzas for battling for ENDLESS hours on this over recent months, to make our FREE board 5 times better, more usable and more robust overnight. Several members have asked me for his PayPal address to send him a little personal "Thank You" for his amazing work here, to fund the strong coffee (or whatever!) and Pizzas, and I am sure he will not mind at all - yuriy [at] rusko.org (Think of it as your oblique Membership Fee.)

A brilliant job, it really was. These things look smooth and seamless now to the casual user, but this has been the project from Hell, with endless dramas I will not begin to share here, to get away from our previous hopeless web hosts, get the domains released and unlocked (WAY tougher than you'd imagine) find a solid and efficient and robust new one for our new servers, (also a TON tougher than you'd imagine) get all those ducks in a row somehow, and then to move our ancient and unsupported and often corrupted data base to the shiny and newest phpBB version, onto a clean new server, in exactly the format and look we wanted.

Before posting images, do a Preview before Submitting, removing any duplicate {img}{/img} pairs.

{url=./download/file.php?id=2968&mode=view}{img}./download/file.php?id=2968{/img}{/url}{url=./download/file.php?id=0&mode=view}{img}./download/file.php?id=0{/img}{/url}

In your case I deleted {img}./download/file.php?id=0{/img} which I've highlighted above.

(Square brackets have been changed to curly brackets in order to demonstrate this).
