Thread: New picture uploader?

So if I use the Manage Attachments button and then upload a picture and then upload a file it gets added to the Attachments location at the bottom of the screen but clicking the Insert Inline and Done buttons do nothing. If I then close the window and submit the reply the image is seen as an 'attached' image; not inserted into the body of the post. However, if I then click the little paperclip icon and choose the just uploaded picture from there, it inserts into the msg as normal. The first picture was done via the second method; the other (the toy) was done via the first.

Works in Internet Explorer (seems I don't have Firefox). Why not Google Chrome??

...But not in Google Chrome still. Oh I give up. I'm going to do some ironing...

I use google chrome and the attachment button, i.e. the paperclip, not the "manage attachments" which is way below in the editor page. As far as why one works and not the other, I don't really want to figure it out, 90% of the time the answer is incompetent programming.

I have to switch to the basic uploader to post images. The other uploader (whatever it's called) stopped working for me sometime last week.

For the record, I'm in Firefox 26 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Edit: Just edited this post, as I originally planned to post an image, but decided against it... yet the image was posted as an attachment. Hmm...

Why don't you get yourself a photobucket account which is free and just copy a paste your image?

If you go through the forum you'll notice a ton of old threads with the images missing because people have done just this. Hosting the images right where the text is hosted has the best chance of insuring they remain together.

Gugi's dead-on right about this; however... I got annoyed with the automatic resizing of my SOTD photos by vBulletin, so I opted for linking to their URLs on Photobucket. I know, I know... there's probably an element of vanity in my decision making
