This came about from a channelD question but since I've been through it too, there maybe other people out there trying to work it out.

Okay, I have a question: If I am posting more than one picture in a message (via my photobucket account), the board wants to stack the pics vertically. It seems the only manipulation I can do is to justify them (i.e., move them left, center, or right). How can I make reasonably small pics line up horizontally?

Oh I know this problem.

You need to remove any space or carriage return between the [ img] or [ url] delimiters. This is not always obvious because the images names are so long that they start on new lines.

if you have
[ img]image_name1.jpg[/img] [ img]image_name2.jpg[/img] then they stack but if you put
[ img]image_name1.jpg[/img][ img]image_name2.jpg[/img] then they go side by side.

This seems obvious but when the names are really long (especially if you are using clickys) it looks like (I've used .URL instead of URL):

and you can't see the carriage return so you get

clicky





You have to go to front of that second [ IMG] or [ URL] and insert a backspace

You may see a difference in the image only string but not in the clicky string where the name is too long, the important thing is, the carriage return is gone, even if you can't see it's gone
