The last couple of times I've posted with IMG tags the link hasn't turned into an embedded image. Anyone know what's happening?

Welp, these two tags worked for me. Browser issue on your end? Firefox 71.0 here...

[edit: OK, forget what I said, didn't parse the actual image rather than a clickable link bit]

The img ... /img bracket is nested within a url ... /url bracket, messing the syntax up. Also, one of the img slash characters is backwards. You can see the syntax by doing a reply with quotation. Anyway, following is just with the url bracket. This yields a clickable link.

Or, do an img bracket with the same url inside (but no bracket stuff) to get an inline im...ng.com/images/LeBlonde_Regal.jpg[/img][/SIZE]

It looks like something on my end is tagging url text copied into the clipboard as being a URL, and pasting that is sometimes giving me URL tagged data, which I then add the IMG tags in an effort to get inline display. Weird.

Digging into this a little bit it looks like it's my Chrome browser - if I check the url by testing it in the address bar, then copy and paste it in this editor it gets a URL tag. I have to select it and choose the "unlink" tool off the editor toolbar to strip the URL tags to make the IMG tags work. PITA, and it seems like that's a recent behavior.

And the backslash? I was just messing to see if I'd just spaced on the end tag character. Too many languages, too many markups in my past to remember all of them clearly.

Thanks for looking into it.

I also have had this issue with Chrome lately, thought it was just me. Good to know.
