The img BBcode isn't new at all. It's been there since phpBB 2.

You're marking this topic as [solved] but ...

I suggest using the inoffical STK to have it examine your board. (you mentioned your board being the latest version 3.3.1 - the most recent phpBB version = 3.3.13).
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Note the equals sign , that is not stock img bbcode and if it were it wouldn't be present under bbcode listing anyway.

It was probably added by an extensions, possibly the editor extension you are using.

sounds fair, but i get this fixed by my own.
some people "try" to help without read any information i provided, and just say "ask to the X extension author"
Some other people genuinely tried to help me and i appreciate that try and i appreciate that kind of people.

anyway this is solved, thanks so much, for all that really tried, for real :D

:roll:
If it's not something that happens in standard phpBB, we cannot help. Extensions are supported by their authors. We didn't write their code. It's like saying photoshop doesn't work on your PC but instead of asking Adobe why not, you decide to ask Microsoft.

Your issue was clearly caused by an extension, so that is the place you needed to be looking.

If your "solving" is to use the [imga] you tried, then it's probably not solved as the default [img] BBcode still doesn't work (based on the info you gave).

I wouldn't call that fixed. That was added by something and now there is no reference to it. In other words you are just masking whatever the root cause is and whatever used that is now broken. Additionally if it was used in older posts they are now broken.

No they're not broken :)

[img] is still being the default bbcode to display images.
probably mi english is too broken and this lead to missunderstoods, or no one is reading the full context of the post bc, respectfully, people asume too much...
as someone mentioned above probably that bbcode was broken, by an ext, and that could happen, but now renaming [imga] everything is working fine, no matter what everyone says, the final result of the post was achieved, fix the issue, i think thats the main objective of a support forum, receive support and fix issues and even if i not get the answer here, i appreciate people that really tried :)

issue is solved.

Until you do something that make use of the default [img] bbcode, e.g. some extensions.
The longer you wait to really fix the issue, the higher the probability becomes that posts will be malformed.

tag [img] can be used normally, older posts are displayed correctly now.
i dont get the intention of keep saying: "its not fixed"
im the requester, i set the issue has been fixed, bc it is.

OK, but that wasn't clear to me, and I suspect neither to others (probably because you didn't mention how it was fixed).

It's not the [img] bbcode that will be broken. If [img=] was used anywhere it will be broken. Go into phpmyadmin and run this sql to see if it's present in any posts.

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM `phpbb_posts` WHERE `post_text` LIKE '%[img=%';
As already noted if whatever added [img=] is still installed and dependent on it that is going to be broken too.

Your "fix" is conditional which is what is being pointed out to you.
