Won’t post linked images... no matter what size/site

[postpar]

New host, couple of hours burned, and the same problem. If I insert

into the database using bbcode, it works. Therefore it's something that happens while posting.

What other source files should I be checking against originals?

[Kindred]

something is stripping out the img BBC completely, before it gets posted. I can not imagine what would be doing that in SMF code.

[postpar]

Yes. That is what is happening. I wonder if the preference for bbcode is showing as being enabled, when it is not.

Do you know what files are involved in a post?

[Kindred]

a bunch, actually.

You could always try loading a clean set of files and then re-applying your themes and mods, one at a time.


but as I said, I can not think of anything in SMF that would be causing that behavior

Does the issue occur when using  the wysiwyg editor also?

[postpar]

Yes, it applies however you post.

If I am understanding correctly, the images show when you preview the post?

The preview function is similar to the sansitization and parsing done when a post is sent to the db. So if your seeing the preview ok, but after posting the tags are removed, the chances are that either a modification changed something somewhere or something is going on with the database.

[postpar]

Nothing is wrong with the database, so it must be a modification, but I'm not showing any that would be likely to be the problem. Yes, preview does work. Does this narrow down which files I should be looking at>?

[Kindred]

what mods do you have installed?

I'm going through file by file now...

[postpar]

Resolved. It was a line in Subs-Post.php of unknown provenance! Finally got my head in gear, downloaded the Sources folder, and used CompareMerge to get file-level, then line-level comparisons.

Thanks for trying, anyway. I appreciate your sticking with it.

PS> Yes, the initial "it's your fault" diagnosis was correct. That said, Post.php and Subs-post.php are the clear places to look. I missed the one line of bad code in there (not something I would have added myself, it's got to be from a package!) until I took it onto my desktop and used a graphical comparison program - a lesson there for anyone with a weird problem. Reinstalling all files and then packages would have worked, too, I guess... but a longer process.
