editor Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Works for me, as you can see above. I don't even see a place to retrieve BBCode on Imgur. Right-click or Option-click on an Imgur image. Select "Copy Image Address." Then on HAIF, click the "Insert other media" menu, select "Insert image from URL." Paste image address in the space provided. Click Insert Into Post.

HoustonMidtown Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I did exactly as you said and I still get the blue ? box (see my last post here: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/29618-convention-center-redevelopment-24-story-office-building-hotel/?page=44) When I click on one of my images in Imgur, I get various options (BBCode, HTML, LinkedBBC, etc) - you don't see those options? I have always just copied the BBCode from here and pasted in my posts This is what happens when I paste from Imgur: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBCode is kind of a last century thing. The software that runs HAIF prefers having a real URL to work with so that it can handle many more media types. What is the URL of the image you're trying to display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point all I can do is send another message to Imgur and recommend that you find a better/more reliable image host like Flickr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images I uploaded last week were hosted on Imgur. I followed the steps outlined above and didn't run into any issues but I am with yours. I switched to Flickr and it's working fine for me now...thanks for helping out !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Anyone else constantly getting spam on mobile? It seems like every other page I load on here redirects me to a website that is some ad that automatically opens the iTunes App Store to download some porno app or Gambling app. I only use Haif on mobile, and running into these constant ads discourages me from actually coming to the site. It's slow as hell, littered with spam, and ads that aren't formatted for mobile that created awkward page layouts. I'd rather deal with the free version of the Chron than come here. The ads are the same, but at least it loads faster. Im really curious to see how the traffic has done in the past few weeks and since the switchover. It had been getting no better, but now it's back to being a shell of its former self. Sorry for the rant, but this is the thread for talking about the site Update, and holy sheet does this site need an Update...for the update.

Sorry for the rant, but this is the thread for talking about the site Update, and holy sheet does this site need an Update...for the update. I've spent the last few hours trying to duplicate what you describe, and so far nothing. I'm not saying it's not happening, just that I can't see that it's currently a HAIF problem. Then again, if something is being sneaky like this, chances are good that it's also trying to hide from being detected. It's the circle of life. I've asked someone I know who's smarter than I am to help me look into this. One thing to note: Apple does not permit gambling or pornography in its app store. So if you're being redirected somewhere, it isn't there. What kind of phone are you using, and with what browser? Maybe if I can match or simulate your specs, I'll have better luck.

editor Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hi Everyone, I've installed another significant software upgrade. Let me know if you see anything not working properly. It's best to send me a PM so that I get an immediate notification. Hopefully this one will go much smoother than the one back in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 iPhone 6S, and just Safari, which might explain something. It's now just redirecting to random comic book reading apps. I'll try to screenshot the page that loads. It it always happens when I'm in the Going Up sub. I'll open a thread, scroll down to the bottom to select the "Go to Next Unread Topic" After that, it will start to load the page then immediately redirects to an advertisement page which loads into the App Store. Ive noticed a slight improvement in speed, and the ad page has only popped up once. A week ago it would load every time I tried to go to the Next Unread Topic.

editor Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks, BigFootSocks. That screenshot actually helps a lot. It's a beacon from Federated Media, one of the web site's advertising partners. What a beacon does is double-check to make sure that the ads that we say are being served are actually being served and not intercepted by ad blockers or something else. In this case, the beacon is malfunctioning or poorly written. I'll see what i can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Wish I could get a picture right now, but for mobile, the threads have only one letter per line, so if I was looking at the HH thread "7-Eleven" it appears in mobile as 7 - E l e v e n rinse and repeat for every subforum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those would redirect to the app store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
