Media files posted in a thread do not display

for instance, when there is a big gap of space where someone suggested they something to see, I use reply and see something like this at the bottom of the reply -

the original post just shows space. Wondering if it is my setup and if there is anything I could try changing to see the media file in the tread? TIA

Edit, it change the [ med.../med..] to just many lines of space!

Normally, the forum software will just look at the link and automatically put in the appropriate tags.

So if you put on something like the:

Without the spaces of course. The software will put tags around it, in this case, the media tags. So in the end you'll get the following:



Note that I pasted the link into the next line so it makes for a cleaner post.

Thanks, my problem is that the media doesn't show, just a few inches of space. ie no picture/no image.
I guess it is on my end, something aint right!
Thanks

Yup, most likely at your end. Clear your browser cache, that may help. Make sure your browser and OS is updated to the latest versions.

I use Add Blocker Plus on my Chrome browser. I had the same problem until I added the portal as a trusted site, no blocking. Now it works.

that does it! In the past I had tried to just turn off blocking on a specific page and that didn't work, fixed!
