Dunno??




Like this?



Or you want to load images onto the site first, then link to it?


I didnt use their 'image' button. (It didnt work).. Just used ]img[ and ]/img[ tags (flip the ] brackets)


xoutpost is buggy. 50-80% of the time the 'quote' button doesnt work. The site is also minimally moderated/admined (nobody sucking $$$ out of us) so things kind of just muddle along. Great folks, great community- but not bimmerfest in terms of tech support

Xoutpost is buggy. It only lets me reply by quoting a specific response. It won’t let me just type in the reply box. Most times I try to post or reply with an attached picture it tells me “We have a problem, sorry we have trouble to complete this request Click contact us to send the error log to us.”

Strange, I haven't really had any issues to speak of. Maybe I've just been lucky. Wonder if it is browser related, maybe try a different one and see if there is any improvement?

I use Chrome mainly with xoutpost, but Firefox sometimes as well..

I have no issues. Personally, I just click the "Go Advanced" button, then attach the pic as an upload from my computer. Works fine for me on both Firefox and Chrome. But I'm doing it via computer and not from my phone.

The problem is that the part of the application that CREATES and EDITS posts is buggy....


Whether you load the image here, or host it elsewhere, the issue is when you create the post, the app doesnt properly format (be it quotes or image tags). You need to do it manually, quoting someone manually is a PITA.
