Pictures in thread body.

Where, a couple of days ago, I saw pictures rather than links to them within the body of a thread, and subscribers' signatures, I no longer do so.

Can anyone suggest why this may be?

Hello,

You can add images in the thread (see this part of the FAQ)

Attachments and Images How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing
after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.
There is a limit of 6 pictures in one post.

There are more BB codes you can use:

Greetings,

Thank you Bertus, but that doesn't answer my question.

Take a look at this thread http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=23295

When I first looked at it I could see the three pictures in the first post. Now I can see only the URLs.

When I had added my post to the thread I could also see the picture I posted and my signature, but now I see only the URL and no signature.

Something has changed, but what?

I still see them very well. It is possible the hosting site was down at the time you looked. It is one of the reasons we have a local site to host pictures, not to mention the ability to do the same with attatchments.

BTW, Wikipedia's definition agrees with me on ground, one person does not set the conventions. Yours is also true, it is an or condition.

While that is a reasonable suggestion, I don't believe I have made any changes to my browser settings for ages.
Neverthless, what settings would give the results I am experiencing?
