      @jimmer_5 Interesting. What file format were the images you tried to upload using the inbuilt feature?

        @Alex, they are all JPEGs. Perhaps they were too large (2.2 MB apiece)?

        • To illustrate, here's what it looks like when I upload an image (these are all the same image):

        20230407_161147.jpg.jpg

        • Here's what it looks like when I paste the BBCode link directly from Flickr - this is how I posted images on the old forum:

        [url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52808135805_4f34f34bf6_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6]20230407_161147[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97880203@N03/]jimmacnair[/url], on Flickr

        • You can see that the red section of the previous block of text is the actual live URL. When I delete all the black text around it, ir still doesn't show the image:

        https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52808135805_4f34f34bf6_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2ostuY6]20230407_161147[/url]

        • So now I took the actual URL and clicked the "Image link button" and pasted it in between the tags that the new forum creates (![alt text](image url) ), and now it works:

        alt text

                  Agreed, that is not working - but it must have something to do with the image file. @jtaylor69 any ideas?

                    Alex, these are just images that I took with my Samsung Galaxy S21 and transferred from the phone to my PC. Sorry to turn this into an investigation!

                    Regardless, I hope my previous post is helpful if anyone else has trouble with images.

                      The file format of the image that you guys tried to upload shows as .jpg.jpg

                      Perhaps the one .jpg in the file name is too many and needs to be deleted so the image can be converted to a regular .jpg file?

                          Hi all, sorry for the late post. I have a feeling it's down to this being a different format altogether (JFIF) as seen in my screenshot below. We will investigate to see how we can handle these types. Thanks for reporting!

                            Also you wont be able to use bbcode unfortunately as this is not supported by NodeBB and other modern forums. You'll need to convert or use Markdown instead https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

                              Thank you all for your help. To paraphrase the late great Phil Hartman, "I'm just a caveman, your multiple jpeg formats and modern forum coding frighten and confuse me!"

                                    @Giles many thanks for going thru all this…

                                    “
                                    @motojobobo I had to convert your images from .dng to .jpg s the forum SW does not know what a .dng is.
                                    I used this for future reference:
                                    https://picflow.com/convert/dng-to-jpg
                                    Then I cut and pasted the images because in their native .jpg, the files were too large.... “

                                    to fix my pics.

                                    Weirdly, when I posted that I was able to view the pics ok on the forum website.
                                    I’ll must get better at it since I’ve now learned that Iphone pic possibility and will surely mess around with it. Thanks for the .DNG <=> .JPG info.

                                    The journey is the objective.
