I recently updated form 1.6.8 to 1.8.4. A few things did not seem to survive the "move"
* Image tag does not work - I cannot get *[[image:tst.png]]* to work * I can no longer upload ExCel file - complains about corrupted file * This template no longer work - the image does not display
[[media:{{{1}}}|{{{2}}} (PDF)]] <span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:image:{{{1}}}}} https://information.ncs.mcgill.ca/ourdocs/images/d/da/Info_circle.png]</span>
The rest of the site appears to be fine - the image for the spell checker no longer appears, but I suspect it is related to the image problem - though the path for images in correct and has not changed. I figure it is a variable setting, but darned if I know which one.
Thanks for the help.

I hate to nag, but does anyone have any advice on where to find an answer to this - seems it should be in a FAQ, but I can;t find it. Also seems it should be an obvious fix - but I'm too myopic to see it.....
Please consider pointing me in the right direction.....

For these two, check the entries in the FAQ about upload issues or "images don't display after upgrade" etc:

Sounds like you're trying to use the old 'URL-to-image-does-inline-image' thing, which is off by default since several versions ago. Here's the guy you want to change:
/** Whether to allow inline image pointing to other websites */ $wgAllowExternalImages = false;

Ah well I saw 1.5.1 and assumed it did not apply to me - silly me :) Fixed the problem thanks.

Yup that was it - of course is there a better way to do what is needed?
