Subject: Embedding photos in your post (My hopes and dreams shattered...)

As most of us already know, there is a way to embed videos and pictures into your posts. There was a more simple way to do it a while ago, but it was "patched" apparently and you can only link videos now.

Well, as seen here, and in other instances, Achronos can directly embed pictures within his posts. When I quoted him, and of course tried to see if the picture would come out, it was replaced with an [Imaged Removed]

The link to his picture, when put in the site address bar, doesn't link to a webpage or specific photo but (for me, at least) opened Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I found this a bit strange. When quoting Achronos, this is what it looked like. He used [img] tags to link a photo source URL.

I haven't tried yet, but perhaps if we could follow the instructions given on flickr to create a Photo Source URL, and we used [img] tags, we could link photos as well.


I tried it using one of the example links, and it came up (in the post preview of a reply) as [Image Removed]

Apparently they have something we don't.

Yeah, we can't imbed images. Only employees can, as far as I know.

I believe it's an employee only feature.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Achronos has image tags enabled for his profile class. As well as text size and color modifiers.

It feels good to be on top...

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

You do [IMG], then type a link to said image, then you close it with the dash.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

It's not a secret -- embedding an image is just the standard BB code input. Certain Bungie employees have this feature enabled for their particular security level, everybody else does not.

That's why you can't do it, not because there's some secret method to it :-)

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Our img tags are just locked, it is a shame. :(

Only superusers can use the [img] functionality. Sorry, we're out of luck.

Go ahead and check out this thread as well.

From the looks of it, you have to download the pictures somehow to Bungie.net and into the posts, so I don't know how we would do that and we don't have img tags.


Wrong, wrong, wrong wrong, wrong, wrong.

Achronos has image tags enabled for his profile class. As well as text size and color modifiers.

So, he has an image button, text size button, and color modification button right next the the quote, etc?

Well that would explain it all.

I don't think they are buttons, Just tags like [url] or [b].

I wouldn't be too sure that its a button. It's normally a command, as it was on this site in the past with text color.

I remember when the secret was unleashed to the public a year ago, it was glorious. I still have a few threads saved of me posting pictures. xD

But it got out of hand very quickly in the flood, and was soon taken away. I wish people were just responsible..

There's a user script - although personally, I think it mauls the site's image.

I'd rather it wasn't widely available - I mean, you've seen the complete chaos in the Flood caused by one or two shock linkers.

Awhile ago this would post a picture in the forums. After people started spamming blue waffle everywhere, it was patched.
