Looks all right to me.
You sure you haven't typed a newline somewhere? They get turned to <br>'s, I think.

nope, cheers though
looking at the preview, an extra / is added before the img tag's closing >

html looks OK locally - just goes a bit "Pete" when I try to preview

feck knows

The extra /
is to make it valid XHTML: <img> is strictly an opening tag, it has to be closed either by </img> immediately afterwards or by changing it to <img/> (often rendered <img /> so as not to confuse old browsers which don't know what an img/ is.) I guess something on the server side needs submissions to be well-formed XHTML.

Have you tried with just nothing at all in between your two images, and including the / yourself so as not to invite the HTML cleaner script's tinkering?
People do put images together on the main board when they make tesselations, so I've no idea really, I'm really just guessing like you are... but good luck

on looking at the board code for a tesselation - ta

it doesn't work in preview, for some reason,
but it usually works when on the board

aarrgghh - bloody html !
it's driving me up the wall as 15135s icons work a treat but as soon as I sub my images it goes wrong !

I was just trying not to knock people's work off the board as there's 3 of em

cheers all

it doesn't matter how big your post is.
The board has 15 threads on the main page (i think, not checked)

Your post will push only one off the bottom regardless of its length.
