Pasting links from Railimages

[Colonel]

There is a slight problem when pasting links from railimages that you need to be aware of.

Once a picture has been slected the URL appears below the picture. When you copy the picture you will find a space maybe copied after the jpg therefore when you try and post the pic this will appear.

Notice there is a space between g and [/img]

This will prevent the picture from being viewed and will only appear as a broken link. All you need to do is remove the space and the problem is solved.

I will refer this problem to Mike to see if it can be resolved

OK Paul here is a test, and it seems to work.

This time there is no space between g and [ as it was before. So, somebody obviously changed it since we last spoken about it.
