Okay here is one with fancy paint. But wait, something is wrong. Extra points if you can spot it. Hint: Guardian Angel needed…STAT!

That's steering in the wrong direction...

Close…don't wanna steer you wrong...

I used to be into the donk scene so I can appreciate a well-done car but the one you posted above is NOT a well-done donk. Needs more chrome and less rent-to-own.

Okay here is just one of the catastrophes with this Donk. Notice the 6-7 inch long pipe used as a spacer to "lower" the steering tierod. Several other concerns but that is the main one…think of the leverage! The owner told me it was fine cuz he used grade 8 bolts. Umm…remind me not to fly in an airplane you "designed".

I KNOW! I KNOW!
It needs bigger breaks to stop because of the extra rotational mass of the big ugly wheels.

There are alot of donks, and even more hoodrich donks here. More then 98% of them have super hideous chrome wheels.

if you want to put the image inline, just put [ img ] and [ / img ] around it. no spaces.

Will the img/img thing work for files I upload to this site?

Open uploaded file, if it's not on it's own page (nothing else on the page) then right click, "view image" (or something like that), copy the URL, hit the icon that looks like this-->http://www.miataforumz.com/mt2011/im...nsertimage.gif<--, paste the URL, hit OK.

sjmarcy 07-31-2011 03:23 PM

Let's see if this works…a front view of the same Donk. That's actually more steps than using one of my own photo sites, when I upload a pic to this forum for use on this forum?!! Okay…guess they used the equivalent of a 7 inch pipe spacer to adapt the "steering linkage" when they tacked on that forum feature... ;-)

Yes.

Say that your file is hosted at https://i.imgur.com/0LLt0.jpg

The correct format to embed that image would be:

Oh yes I know how to do that. I have about 15,000 images online elsewhere. Use 'em all the time. I was simply uploading to THIS site to try that out. I started using the img/img coding for forums back in the 90s or thereabouts long ago.

Then why are you failing so completely to embed an image?

Is there a moderator around?

You could try looking at post 19.

You could try looking at the numerous posts of mine here and elsewhere.

Try using the search button. Upper RHS.

It works 99.99% of the time for the rest of us. What internet browser are you using?

mgeoffriau 07-31-2011 08:43 PM

Works better when you aren't specifying a nonexistent attachment.

(Here's a hint -- try going directly to the address of the image you tried to embed. It won't work.)

Try it on a Mac.

It will look like the screengrab image at this URL:

Safari 5.1 on a MacBook Pro.

On the same laptop running Opera, no image.

I think it is safe to say that many of you have not yet learned that Macs are awesome. ;-)

mgeoffriau 07-31-2011 08:56 PM

So the forum works fine unless you are using Mac's shitty browser. I can accept that.

Click on this and tell me what you see.

You (Stan) are linking to an invalid address. It works for you because you're the one who originally attached it. Everyone else gets an error.

Since you're a Mac guy, I can understand if the MT imagehosting service seems too complex to understand. To a certain extent, it relies upon words and numbers rather than purely images. I would suggest that you might try an external imagehosting service such as http://imgur.com/ or http://picoodle.com/

Joe, I use three different sites to host (just added them up) about 19,000 images from the 90s onward. I've been active for some time on many forums. On some forums I post images ONLY from one of my sites, original material. That has ramifications as you are likely aware.

Bear in mind that I am using a Mac, created by Apple. Apple has more cash than the United States of America. True!

Also note that my posts have been edited and rewritten by some of the mods here over time. Not recently to my knowledge. I have not checked. Additionally, I was put on whatchamacallit invisible mode whereby I could post, but only I could see them. You can check that out for yourself if you have the interest. This makes it harder for the poster (me) to verify. Right?

Like I've said…"great site!".

I know there pretty good but I don't want to pay out the ass for a laptop. I run Linux.:cool:

Google images sometimes produces unexpected results.

I took one of your links from the first post and wrapped the img tags around it:
