I am placing code in the description so that an image is displayed for a special forum section. The jpg image original size is 390width x 60height, but it is getting stretched to fill the description area. This is making the image look grainy and too big for what I want. Is there a way I can add code in that Admin Panel>Forum>Description: box or correct my code to keep the image as 390wx60h? Here is a copy of what code is not working. <IMG title="Award Information" height="60" alt="Award Information" width="390" border="0" src="http://www.thesongwritersforum.com/forum/images/2009SongOfTheYear.jpg" /> Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, -Troy

The differences I see with your code is that 1) you are making the image a link and 2) you are closing it off with 2 <p> tags (starting paragraph tag?) I know that setting the image dimensions in the code keeps the image the size you dictate normally... I just don't see why the image is stretching to fill the area in this case?

I know enough to get in to trouble Troy  I close all of the forum description with a <p> tag only because it spaces them more....I have OCD when it comes to clutter and close fit.I tried it without the image being linked, and it worked also. Rather than setting image size in the code, I take their image and just resize it.

can someone please post a screen shot of this on their forum so I can see what you are talking about. I have a similar question but it might be slightly different. I look forward to seeing a screen shot.

First of all, use HTML wisely, the wrong tag can kill the function of the board. So far the Ultra HTML is 4.01 transitional, Troy that means you have to drop the front slash at the end. That only applies to XHTML. I always put the src call directly after the img and follow with all the other stuff. Also try your best to use all lower case in file names BUT if it has upper case it has to be called identical to the file name on a linux server. Best to get in a habit of naming all the images lower case and calling them that way.... just a good habit. So in closing here is how I would have done it. I'm attaching an image because the $ b a s e _ d i r variable somehow gets replaced in posts. All in one line too, I had to add the line break to get it in the picture.....

Thanks, Jim! Well I learned a few things through all of this. A little more about code for one. But..............The real problem turned out to be something simple. My image was getting stretched out because I had zoomed in with Ctrl+scroll wheel earlier while viewing in Firefox. I did not realize I was still enlarging text (and pics) at the time. I went to the Firefox menu, just now, and clicked View>Zoom>Reset the picture was returned to actual size. I guess to everyone else on our forum the image looked fine! All this running around trying to fix it and it wasn't broken! Sorry! Oh well! At least other UltraBB members will read this thread and learn that they can place images in the Description box this way. Thanks again! -Troy
