Need help from Pbase users

Anyone who has a gallery on Pbase?

Could you please try to upload an image from a phone, tablet etc, using the new 'embed image' feature

I can get it to work from a laptop, but not from an Android phone

Keeps coming back with the response
URL DOES NOT CONTAIN AN IMAGE

I'll try

Won't work for me, either with it without the jpg extention
I'm not doing anything different than I always have either

Sorry. Can't help otherwise. My image was already sized to comply with old POTN requirements (1000 pixels and less than 150kb). Perhaps your image was too large.

No, all off my images on Pbase comply size wise

I can happily post any of them from the laptop, and could also from my phone until the new forum launched

Just laptop now for some very bizzare reason

During the beta test, I evaluated uploading images from PBase using several mobile devices including iPhone, iPad, and even an old NOOK Color which is an Android device. I did not have an Android phone to test, but some of the other beta testers did. Based on your error message, I would guess that you forgot to add ".jpg" to the end of the URL. Here is an image from my PBase gallery uploaded from this iPad. I assume that you are pasting the URL in the space that says, "EMBED IMAGE FROM THE WEB [?]". After pasting, add ".jpg" (without the quotes).

Yes to all of the above, including adding .jpg at the end

Same way I have for the last almost 10 years on here
Im not doing anything different from phone to laptop either and it works from laptop

One other thought is that when PBase resizes images, they screw up some of the metadata, especially if you allow them to compress the images. Try an original size image if you are using a resized by PBase image. I don't know if your browser could be doing something to the images. Is your phone browser different than what the other devices use?

BTW, the current size limit is 1280 X 1280, IIRC.

My images are resized to 1000px long side before upload to Pbase, and Im attempting to embed the original

Phone is using Opera as its browser, which I have used for years and had no issues before new forum software

Right, this is totally doing my head in !!!

Can somebody look and confirm I'm not missing out something stupid here, and yes the 'g' is on the end, just the box was too small

I typed in the URL and saw the image (B/W of man sitting on steps). I didn't see any obvious problem. I'll see if any of the other beta testers can help.

Right I seem to have figured out whats happening, but not why !!

When I cut & paste the URL from Chrome on the laptop, the forum automatically adds http:// to the front, but it does not when I cut & paste the same URL from my phone
Both with the mobile versions of Chrome and Opera


Anyone got any ideas as to why ??

This is some person's image on pbase, I right clicked on the image, copied the image link url, and pasted it in the embed field. This is from a Samsung tab s tablet. As I don't have a pbase account, I think I am breaking some rules doing this though.

Not sure why your phone's version of browsers is doing that, but it would have to be the browsers that are doing that? Versions of browsers, and different browsers cause web developers many a headache.
