The code I used for this image and link was:
HTML Code:
[url=http://img227.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img227&image=dscf03496mx.jpg]
<img src="http://img227.exs.cx/img227/6217/dscf03496mx.th.jpg" border="0" hspace="1">
[/url]
and this is a thumbnail linking to an image (like the other 2 in the example above which use simple [img] tag). The [url=...] part does not need to link to a proper image. In fact it links to a page dynamically generated by the image host server (
ImageShack.us). And linking directly to the image would violate their TOS.
The <img ...> tag contains
hspace="1" attribute which causes small gaps to be displayed on both sides of the image and those gaps - unlike the space character - do not allow the images to wrap to the next line when the browser window is resized (kind of non-breaking space). And this is all working great but... only when I'm logged in.
Furthermore (and first of all) there is no BBCode equivalent for <img src="image" align="left / right"> which allows the text to float around the image.
Probably I would never notice this issue but once I wanted to explain to someone how to put the shoutbox in a post (example #2 above) and I realized that guests cannot see it properly.
Nonetheless the bug
is still there
Pechango, thank you anyway for your time and efforts.
