When I try to use the insert image tool I get this:

A blank space. It doesn't even show up in the "message:" box where I'm typing.

When I try to use BBcode via the [ img ]imageurl[ /img ] (without the spaces), I get:

Errors:

-Your HTML is not well formed - please check for unclosed tags.

-If you are copying from a word processing software, try pasting the text into a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad) first.

-If problems persist, try disabling the WYSIWYG editor in your preferences.

And I just had to type all of that manually because when I tried to copypaste it I got a heap of errors.

The thing is that I've checked my HTML and it is perfectly formed. There are no unclosed tags. I wasn't copying from a word processing software, even when i type out the links manually it still doesn't work.

The thing that annoys me the most is that all of it shows up perfectly in the preview. It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't happen all the time, but I do get it quite regularly in the Gamespot AU board. Is this going to be fixed?

Have you tried posting with the WYSIWYG editor turned off?

perhaps your picture link was already a deleted link? that could be the problem.

Yes, and I still get errors. Poor form on Gamespot's part. Literally no other website I use gets errors anywhere near as much as this.

What is the image URL you're trying to include?

I'm having the same issue, though with me it also includes links to other pages or images.
