it's actually a link to his website. At least thats where i went when right click and open in new tab.

UdubBadger · 08-25-2011, 10:50 AM

yeah i got that far but for the contest he needs an image posted up in the thread that also meets the sizing requirements

It is, it's a direct link to the jpg itself. Seems like Weebl was able to see it. Never had an issue before either.

UdubBadger · 08-25-2011, 11:16 AM

Tried 2 different computers it doesn't show up in the thread. Even though the official rules dance around actually saying it... the photo needs to be posted here, not just linked, makes it easier for the person doing the poll to just use this thread instead of having 15 different windows open.

On top of that the image the link brings us to is 927x1200

TL · 08-25-2011, 11:17 AM

I'm not able to see it in your post either unless i clicked on the link and it brings me to your smug site

That's because it's a link to a bigger version. The rules specifically say a link to a larger version is allowed.

I don't really see an issue here as this is the exact same format for my post that I have used in 2 other contests, and it has never been a problem. Also, 3 other submissions are doing the same thing.

The photo is posted here, it's an img tag wrapped around a direct link to the jpg as I mentioned: http://www.rlsmithphotography.com/Ca...2XCc3-XL-2.jpg

Well that sucks. It works for me in all browsers. It's not protected behind a login either - opened it in all new browsers and it loaded.

no worries, i pulled it from the orig post

Weebl · 08-25-2011, 11:46 AM

It did not pop up onto the screen until I looked at the site. I was going to re-post it up and then I saw it in the review.
It does not pop up yet, so you need to find a way to repost it with different tags.

Well I think that rule implied the smaller version would still be posted in the thread. We need to be able to see it w/o clicking anything extra to get to it.

Well it wasn't my intention to require clicking on the link. I thought the smaller one was showing up for everyone.

I'm actually on my work mac now, and it's not loading. I'm looking into it.

UdubBadger · 08-25-2011, 12:38 PM

yeah that was the only issue. the small one will be included in the poll. the link to the larger one is fine, just make sure you have the small one up and running 1st.

skinrock · 08-25-2011, 12:40 PM

Should be good now. Had external linking disabled. I wish I could whitelist certain referrers so that I can hotlink on here but not worry about people putting them on their spam sites.

UdubBadger · 08-25-2011, 12:46 PM

i see it now

Lots of great shots...i love the way rodi's garden lines lead to her hair which has the action. I also like the way one in theory's wall line leads to her eyes, which are really pretty.
