Hello,
I am fairly new to these fora. Usually this version of vBulletin supports image tags like these:
[i][PLAIN]http://www.myimageurl.com/image.jpg[/i] [/ img].
I was just wondering whether they are disabled for a reason? Or is it a technical problem?

Cheers,
Moe

If you right click on image and go to properties, the url is listed there and can be copied here. The way these images are linked here are a good way, as they demonstrate the origin of the images. Once clicked on, the images will open in another screen to look at, which then can be closed, without losing post.

Although I find, that if all pictures have signatures(by right clicking), then we immediately recognize its owner? Is this considered infringement when its author has been recognized? It cannot exist without this address.

Thank you for clearing that up. I'll just copy-paste the URL in the future.
 

1. What are IMG tags?

IMG tags are HTML tags used to embed images into a webpage. They are used to specify the source, size, and alternative text for an image.

2. How do I use IMG tags?

To use IMG tags, you need to include the <img> tag in your HTML code, with the source of the image specified in the src attribute. You can also specify the size, alignment, and alternative text for the image using different attributes.

3. Can I use IMG tags to resize images?

Yes, you can use the width and height attributes to resize images using IMG tags. However, it is recommended to resize images before embedding them to maintain good image quality.

4. What is the purpose of the alternative text in IMG tags?

The alternative text, also known as alt text, is used to describe the image in case it cannot be displayed. This is important for accessibility purposes, as it allows screen readers to describe the image to visually impaired users.

5. Are there any best practices for using IMG tags?

Yes, it is recommended to always include alternative text for images using the alt attribute, and to specify the width and height of the image to improve webpage loading speed. It is also important to use descriptive and relevant file names for the image source.
