images not displaying, only seeing links

The entire syntax issue would never have been an issue if the core insert image function worked like the insert link. This would resolve the entire thing.
I agree, that there is a link but not a means to show a URL is confusing at best and leaves something really needed out. That's all that we need but instead plugins get made to work around it. I wonder why there is no plugin to make that button?

The platform supports markdown, completely as simple as that..
Then what is the function of the MarkDown plugin?

To allow you to disable markdown if so desired. not any different than PHPBB haivng a setting to disable BBCODE
-
Disable if desired? But the description makes it sound like you enable if desired, which we did. The wording is that it is not in the core, but in the plugin. If we remove the plugin and run with only the core, doesn't Markdown go away?
-
I'm lost, does the markdown work?
I tried using[img]http:\\testimage.com\test.jpg[/img]and it did not work
-
What markup is that that you are using? I've never seen that formatting before.
NodeBB uses this format:
 -
If you use the image uploading tool, it generates the correct format for you to see. Most people do that and ignore it, though, and don't realize that it tells them how to do it.
-
And what is up with all of your backslashes?
-
Dashrender is using a classic forum formatting.
It was extremely common for a very long time. I even tried it with the same formatting when uploading images wasn't working with the drag and drop functionality.

Yeah, may be old, but several forums I use still use it.
to show a picture inline that is already hosted somewhere
[img]name and location of image[/img]I can't believe you've never see that before.
and here's the corrected slashes
[img]http://test.com/test.jpg[/img]I just to used to windows.
interesting it put
( )around the URL, but I didn't type that.

Where should I have seen it?

That's really dependent of what forums you've used.

BBCode has an brief description of it.

Man that brings back memories of way too much Star Wars roleplaying.

SW?

I'm not even sure if SW uses that formatting or another to be perfectly honest.... I've never paid enough attention to it...

that's funny - in forums related to Star Wars is where I have spent much of my time in the past, and that's where I used it.
vBulletin uses it for my local Star Wars group (www.centralgarrison.org)
phpBB is the other major place I've used it. -
Quick, post funny images of @Dashrender
