Vista - Insert image with HTML using open and close tags?

**PainlessTorture** · 08-20-2008

Hey, I was wondering. . . is there a way to add an image using HTML with an open and a close tag. I cant use the normal <img src>.

Is there a way to insert an image using two tags?

Thanks guys

Hey John, Thanks for the reply.

What I'm trying to do is add an Image to a vbulletin user name. So i want a little A badge to show up after the admin user name. Although I cant use the normal <img src"image"> because I need both an open and close tag. So i need something like <img src"pic">Username</img>.

So lets say this is the A badge

I want this to be the username - Fmjc001

Any ideas?

Ok, so vBulletin *forces* you to use both opening and closing tags, and this is the problem?

Load the image into the database and then use the standard vBulletin tag to reference it from the database file store instead of a www address.

Yes thats the problem, I have the image in the site under /admin.gif and /mod.gif but how do i get them on?

Can you use an ex? Thanks

Well, how do you normally get an image loaded in a vBulletin post? It would be the same, I would imagine....

If you can point me to a vBulletin run site, as I don't know of any that I am a member of, I could test it, at least from the posting side.

But it may also be a restriction in vBulletin itself, not allowing badges....

This site powered by vBulletin...

In the admincp you can add username markup.
