I just had a revelation! While in discussion with BMF about lamer's, it occured to me how you can prevent internets-challenged people from posting bad <img> tags.

Think about it, images will never start with <img src=c:\file.png>

So, throw in some detection that if it detects a colon, make sure it's http://

I'd say it would have to find a colon, because what would happen if you try to link an image from this board without it checking correctly?

Ha. My computer doesn't have a C drive. It has a /dev/hda, which is mounted to /.

Actually, that is a good idea...too many n00bs seem to think that everyone can see their hard drive, just because they can see it themselves...

I say nay. Let the assclowns post bad image tag code. It makes it easier for us to identify them and make fun of them.

Plus, they'll never learn how to do it correctly if we just automatically do it for them. These AOLarmers are already stupid enough. Let's not make them dumber.

I'm with Elric on this one. After he named all those "advantages", how can you resist.

GOOD TO KNOW
I USE FILE:///
DISCUSS

I don't often see people linking to the C drive, how much would be prevented? Like Smallhacker pointed out (though his example was a tad extreme), if they can't figure out to not link to their comp, they'll probably make a post about it, or something equally stupid.

What I'd like is for people to stop using bmp files for the net.

Bolded Size increased for great justice!

And it's a bad idea; we can't make fun of them, and they'll ask about it and such... not only that, but it's not used often

Good god, don't you know how to read? I said check for colons, that's the first step. If none is found, then why worry? If one is found, then make sure it's a website.

The responses I've read are just implying more and more the truth. The truth being selfishness and childish attitudes of this board's members. I'm making a suggestion to assist those of the board.

I didn't know it was a life mission to make fun of others...

And Xk, (you should know more than anyone what it means to make a point...)

Images are not stored on hard drives. So <img src=(hard drive):\image.png> will not work, obviously. But now let's say you want to link an image from a site *cough* that still uses the same domain. <img src=/image.png> will work. I said to check for the colon ( : for the intelligent impaired) to easily determine if it is a site or not. If it finds a colon, make sure the link reads as <img src=http://image.png>. Simple, eh?

Amazingly enough I figured you were talking about something else...

I knew about that. (I figured it was obvious given I knew what you meant)

I still stand by my no. We can NOT do everything for these people. If you can't learn how to use an <img> tag, then you shouldn't be doing anything requireing images. It's not THAT hard to figure out.
