Sending a pic in b-mail not working, why?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Tried to send a picture in an email to and from Bonanza ’’Messages’’ (or B-mail) – I sent it to myself. I used the method of an exclamation point in front of and behind the online pic URL. However in message I got, I noted that the URL was CUT OFF (entire URL NOT showing) and thus the pic did not show up, wondering WHY or WHY NOT? I sent to myself because a friend noted sending pics is NOT working correctly, and one cannot see a pic sent within a B-Mail. . .anyone know why it’s not working?
ANYone? Thanks! Dee

I ran two tests using the same link to an image file.

Result 1: Normal image link (surrounded by ! marks). The link was truncated and produced NO image.
Result 2: Same link, but used the website tinyURL.com to produce shortened version of the image link. Sent the link (surrounded by ! marks) and the image successfully showed up in BMail.

[URL removed] Long links are being truncated (cut off) for whatever reason by Bonanza’s BMail system. Therefore, they cannot display properly.

Short-term solution until Bonanza fixes it (if they do) is to use tiny url.com (or some other URL shortening service) to produce smaller link addresses.

Hello My friend! How are you Dee?
I just tried it and it worked for me. Did you use the “Copy image address”? Yes an exclamation mark before and after that and it worked. Not sure why it is not working for you.

I wonder why it worked when i sent it to myself then? Strange.

Dee, I sent it to another member on bonanza just now that i know, MomentsInThyme, and she just told me the picture showed in bmail for her. Also when i sent it to myself, it showed. so not sure why it is not showing for you.

Thank you misskeech yes I can see the photo in your bonanza email

I did a ‘’copy image address’’ and I also sent a pic by typing in the URL, BOTH ways do NOT work for me, but too, there’s another member who told me it didn’t work for her B-mailing either. I don’t understand HOW it could work for some and not for others. Might be a glitch?
