Long Image paths (MSN Groups)

[SwatSpawn]

We have a lot of people who post images on our site. For some reason we cannot post MSN messages. I bumped up the number of characters before wrapping and I'm allowing Dynamic URL's in images. The images will not show up.

I cant figure it out!

Here is an example of an image we're trying to post thats not working:

http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TADdA...spideyluvu.jpg

Is there any setting that I'm missing?

Thanks!

It's the * in the url. We currently don't recognize it as a valid character in a filename.

[SwatSpawn]

Yeah, its doing it on these forums too. ???

[SwatSpawn]

So there is no way to get around it?

You would need to make a new image tag, however this image tag could introduce risks into your site. If your intrested let me know

[SwatSpawn]

Yeah, can you let me know what might be the risks?

THanks,

When dynamic image tags are enabled this means people can use other non valid image extenions that could be used to attemtp to harm your board, however, the knowleged to do this is usualy not very freely distributed or known.

To make a so called blind img bb code youll just need to add a new bbcode to the bbcode manager.

Title: Blind Image
Tag: bimg
Replacement: <img src="{param}" alt="" />

And hit save, everything else is not nessary, now your users can use
[bimg]img link here [/bimg] and it will display an image.
