Image extension not allowed

[Atypical-Abbie]

So, I got this thing when I tried to post a .png image. What's with that, and why on earth can't I use one of the most common image extensions there is?

Well i wanted to make a topic where i can post the cards i made so first of all why is there no way to directly link to an image that was created on this page and second i tried to download and reupload it and it still didnt work

why cant i upload a file that was created on the same page how am i supposed to share my works in the forum here?

 

but my signature can be as big and whatever type i want

Do you mean in the spoiler? It shows up in my browser, so I expected it to show up in your browser as well. Using the text in the codeblock is required to be pasted as "Plain Text" since it does not work otherwise (due to rich text). But yeah, uploading a picture elsewhere should solve the issues.

Yeah, in your spoiler. I also tried what you said, and it doesn't work for me.

its because its vignette.

some wiki pages changed to vignette instead, and thats what isn't being allowed. 

 

just google the card image and use something different.

 

png isn't an extension, its a file type. Forums use the word "extension" very loosely.

 

Notice how the forum link for YCM is forum.yugiohcardmaker.net instead of yugiohcardmaker.net/forum? in the first one "forum" is the extension, whereas in the latter there is no extension

 

 

Notice how in the image link it says img4.wikia instead of vignette, and this image can be posted

What's the link of the image you were trying to post?

If it doesn't work, chances are that the image type isn't actually .png by virtue of its filename. 

 

(Have you tried reuploading it?)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Nope, it's a PNG, checked the file extension. I was trying to post an image the OP could use in the Accel Synchron thread. It's the image from here:

It's a common glitch in YCM, where trying to post.png images (and on worse cases, all kinds of image extenstions) suddenly results to that.

 

Best answer from my experience is to just post the link without the

 [img][/img]

deal, and edit the topic/post after it got posted.

Let me try that.

Hm, doesn't seem to work either, when I put the code after posting it just gives me the same message.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Try waiting for a bit then? If that doesn't work, then I guess try rehosting it.

Originally tried to post the image you linked, doesn't seem to work for me either. After removing the meta-data; the text behind the ".png" part it seemed to work.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Ah, I've tried it too.

 

I believe if it's like this, it's the problem from the host, and the best way to go about it is to reupload it to somewhere else.

After doing a little 'research', it seems as if the image does actually not have the ".png" extension: it has the ".png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/300?cb=20141205101104"-extension, an extension which is not too comon. There are 2 solutions to this problem: either remove the part in red, or add ".png" at the end of that line. My previous post in this topic was retrieved somewhat different, resulting in a correct path. Hope it solves your issue.

Ok, let's try this again:
 

 
EDIT:
Well, it didn't give me that, but the image still doesn't work.

Next time, make your own topic for this, instead of posting in someone else's.

 

Topic locked.

 

 

As for the original thing, yeah it's a pain in the ass Wikia switched to Vignette, but it's just something we'll have to put up with.

Either that, or we upload the pics to Imgur or something + get the links from there.

 

(Or try to make the IMG link have img4 or some other number in there, instead of Vignette)

The image I placed in a spoiler worked for some time, but suddenly stopped working; maybe the host is moving things around. After some trying, and comparing, I found that this card is also hosted on "vignette1.wikia...". So I replaced the 2 in the path of the image in the above spoiler with a 1; that seemed to do the trick. So here you have a path to your requested image that seems to work. Though I cannot explain/guarantee that it works for the time to come.

I hope this solves this issues for once and for all.

I still can't see the image you posted. I guess I'll just upload it elsewhere instead.

I see, well I guess I'll just have to live with that then, unless of course the forum allows that at some point.
