"Links in the UDF?"
 
   Tonight I tried to include a link directly to a JPG image in a message I sent to one of the conferences. I wanted to post a link rather than include the image in my message because of the image size. I did it the same way I do when posting a link to a html page as given in this forum's HTML reference - open square bracket, link:, URL without the HTTP, |, link text, close square bracket.

Is it different when linking using .jpg instead of .html? I ask because the square brackets turned into greater-than and less-than signs when I was linking to a .jpg, but stayed as square brackets when I linked to a .html, and I didn't find this referenced elsewhere.


Regards,
Jeanne

I did the same as the links in my sig, but the square brackets you're supposed to use with links turned into < and > signs.

DCF is a little squirrely with linking images, the auto-embed code tends to step on the link and you get messiness. It is one of the things I never got around to patching.

The oft-mentioned new forum project is not dead, just on hold. AXNY has been sucking up my entire life for a few months and I haven't had time to focus on much of anything else, especially a complex SW project.

The workaround for embedding links to images is to stick a fake CGI form-submission doohicky on the end of your link, following a question mark. Most web servers will ignore them for non-form web pages, but DCF's perl code won't recognize the link as a link to an image.

Thus, for instance, http://www.eyrie-productions.com/UF/FI/SOS/GFX/pm-corwin-apotheosis.jpg?x is a link to the newly-colored picture of Corwin.
