Inserting image URL
 
I've used IMG tags here before, but this isn't working. What am I doing wrong here?

Seems to work fine if you drag the picture from that site onto the image upload tool. Why spend so much time adding tags?

Though I realize that isn't quite your question. BF really prefers that members use the image tools. Not sure why. Perhaps it looks for some copyright marks and other things that can be embedded in images.

The image upload tool stops at 50% for me. :shrug:

I still don't see my error, but cutting and pasting the tags seems to have fixed it.

That's the sort of thing that clearing the browser cache sometimes fixes.

I have occasionally had it get “stuck” at 50%. When that has happened, I have cancelled and tried again. Only once did the problem persist for a while. If you’re posting from a mobile device, it can take longer if your signal is weak. It freezes but eventually works.

I can't believe I didn't see that!
