can anyone explain why this is? trying to upload a gif - which i've done before with no problems - and it now comes up with this. it does it for every single image - this is not a screenshot, it was meant to be but it's coming up with the same error. do i need to make an account, and if so, will people be able to see my email? it has my legal name in it which isn't something i want online



what other image sites do people use, in the meantime? i'd appreciate a reply asap as i have people waiting on me, tyy !!

We have a few sites that we block due to their content, so this might be a site like that. I suggest using Imgur since they're free and we don't have any blocks on the site.

i've been using imgbb for a while with no problems, but i've had a few recommendations for imgur, so i'll try that - thank you !!

Of course : ). We're constantly updating our filters, though I myself don't know each site on it. Also might be that imgbb itself changed its terms recently, which is a thing that I've seen happening more often.

hi !! i just went to try it (various reasons meant i didn't get a chance until now) - it also doesn't work for me? if imgbb decides to work this time, i can show you (it works occasionally?) -


i tried having it both private and public and it comes up with this either way

For imgur? If you're using imgur, make sure youre using the right image link the correct one will have https://i.imgur.com at the front, not https://imgur.com
If you click "copy link" it'll give you the imgur.com one, not the i.imgur.com. For that, you can right click the image and select "copy image link", it should look like this in the end

Code: Select all

Hello! So I've started coding storage threads and what not, however I've run into an issue I didn't think I'd have..?

I use CSDark as my theme and was coding on that. Posted the post and everything looked perfect! However, I switched to (literally) every other CS theme to see how it looked on a lighter background and it breaks the code?? Like, the spacing of everything gets all messed up. When I edit the post and hit preview it looks normal, but viewing it live it's all messed up.

How it's supposed to look:



How it looks on lighter themes...

[Keir;]

unfortunately the "preview" box is in fact slightly larger than the live post (at least on all the other themes), so the only way to make sure it looks correct is to post it and then submit the edits every time you change something, to make sure the live version looks correct. it has always been like that for all of the other themes and i have complained about it every single time i've coded a thread over the years lol

i was unaware that the dark theme seems to be different though, my best guess as to why it works correctly on the dark theme is just that it's the newest theme and when making it they must have adjusted the live post size to be larger, the same size as the preview. you can even see the difference in regular text posts -- if you view this post on a light theme and then the dark theme, you'll notice that text wraps around to the next line at different words
edit to add: i would guess this is because the preview screen (on all themes) + dark theme live post do not have a boarder around them. live posts on the light themes have a boarder, thus making the actual post smaller

my only advice would be to try fixing it so that it works on the light themes, and then switching to dark to see if it still works there too. however there will definitely be some cases of things simply not being compatible across all themes, if the post size is different. not much that can be done about that (unless someone can convince CS to make all of the post sizes and preview boxes the same size to get rid of these issues lol). it's similar to how a lot of coding just will not work across all devices and operating systems, personally i just prioritize making it work for whoever is going to be using the coding (unless they request otherwise)

hey, so just for a little bit more clarification on the qna - i believe anything up to 600px width fits on the majority of mobile devices. mine is quite thin & after some testing it seems to work with all under 600 (not usually 700 like pc standard). obviously won't apply to all but mine is on the thinner side so it should apply to most !!

marking! glad i found this as a reference for future use <'3
