I am one of 3 moderators on that forum.

i looked at your code in a recent post over there. What you are doing is copying the html from imageshack and posting it in the message. You are not actually doing a cut and paste with an image, only the code pointing to the image. I"ve been doing that since 2002 for pics located on our server and accessible via the internet.

The above pic was inserted using the img src html tag. The pic is accessible via the internet so its picked up and inserted into the post.

We don't allow use of the full set of html tags for security and coding reasons. People can insert dangerous code into posts. Delphi is a multi-million dollar company with a bunch of hired coders and managers. They can afford the infrastructure.

Likely the code you are trying to insert from imageshack has tags which aren't recognized. If you just cull it down to the img src= tag it will work, unless blocked by imageshack.

Also, if the pic is very large it could create problems with formatting. And since the pic is not uploaded to our server, it will only be available here while the link indicated in the img tag is valid.

Hope that answers your question.

Ahh... why won't my Drifter run 400 mph and fly?

Answer: Because of the underlying technology.

I'm trying to think of any forum platform which allows that... can't think of any off the top of my head. Honestly, its extremely simple to me - though I know some folks have problems because of the size/type restrictions.
