Hyperlinks (<a>) with generated images in our signatures.

Forum URL: iracingusers.proboards.com

Many of our users will be using this hyperlink in their signatures. It is a combination <a> and <img>. My iRacing signature is this code:

<a href='http://iracingbanner.com'><img src='http://iracingbanner.com/banner/style4/r/rcsi2I/409689.png' width='710' height='30'/></a>
This hyperlink in the code section above is the same html that we use in the official iRacing Forums in our signatures.

I have tried all of the different BBCodes and HTML and none of them are displaying the generated image that iracingbanner.com generates for us.

Any thoughts on how I can get this to work? I would document it for our users for their signatures.

Here is what the image should look like: iracingbanner.com/banner/style4/r/rcsi2I/409689.png

Best,
Robert

Hi

When it comes to posting and signatures, you will need to use BBCode.

[a href="http://iracingbanner.com"][img src="http://iracingbanner.com/banner/style4/r/rcsi2I/409689.png" width="710" height="30"][/a]

It looks like the host of the image is not set up to accept https connections. ProBoards serve pages over a secure https connection, which means any media on the page also needs to.

support.proboards.com/thread/660963/help-images-displaying-on-forum?page=1&scrollTo=7224150

That post should help with that problem, but if you have any problems, let us know.

Thanks, Craig!  


I will have a look at that page you provided and will also contact iracingbanners.com and ask if they can provide us with an http solution.
