My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I am currently living and working in the UK within the garment industry as an IT specialist. This blog contains mainly IT related issues.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCityLeader between April 2003 and June 2007.

I've rarely posted graphics to my blog as I've always seemed to struggle to get the graphics displayed for one reason or another. Anyway, this evening I sat down and worked out what was going on.

When I embed a graphic into a blog post I go to the gallery where I have uploaded the image to. In my previous post this was the Photos gallery. I then click on the image I want to include in my blog post. The example in my previous post was 3 Laptops. I then click on the Original Image link. I can then copy and paste the address of the image and place it into the SRC attribute of an IMG tag (I just replace the o_ prefic with t_ which gives a thumbnail image rather than the full blown original).

So far so good. If I am using the web browser Admin feature I can even switch between HTML and Design mode and see the image is displayed correctly. However, as soon as I post the blog entry something goes wrong and the link gets changed. In the previous post example http://blogs.vbcity.com//images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg gets changed to //images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg. The // at the beginning of this link is incorrect. there should only be a single /. So I have to re-edit the entry again, take out one of the / characters so that the link becomes /images/blogs_vbcity_com/shandy/62/t_3%20Laptops.jpg, re-post the entry and it appears correct.

Is it just me who has this problem or is it a bug in the .TEXT script?
