Thread: New picture uploader?

It seems the picture uploader has changed a little, there seems to be a slightly different format to it. Problem is I can attach a photo but don't seem to be able insert it in-line (it attaches to the post but the Insert in Line and Done buttons don't seem to work).

I tested it on an old picture recently unloaded but it still didn't work. I logged off and back on but no luck. Is this just me or is there a bug?

I had the same issue last week. Seems fine today, though!

I'm having a problem too. Just the last week, every photo I upload ends up much smaller than the original size. Tried everything to no avail.

I had some problems with it also today It did not seem to work then the next thing I see are the pictures I had uploaded. So it did work but not as it did before.

Nope. Still not working. I can upload but not insert inline, so they come out as an 'Attached Image'...

seems to be working for me:



but only with thee attachment tool, not the picture insertion tool.

what changed is a report of security issue which I then fixed as advised.

Carl, same thing happening here. I'm having to use the basic up loader, which isn't the way I've uploaded pic's prior to maybe two weeks ago. Still can load pic's for posting.
gugi, I'm using chrome also, but am having to go the same route as Carl. Not a big deal, just a different than what I was doing before.

Hmmmm, no, no big deal but odd. Oh well, thought I'd report it anyway just in case the 'bug' wasn't know and it could have been remedied...

Well you have this old Mastodon wondering if I can post pictures! I've read the instructions from the Computer Gurus and they don't make any sense to me!

What I've always done is I look at the header/find the box with a dot in all four corners/click on it and then go to the left of the screen that pops up and select 'From Computer' then I just double click on the picture on my computer and it shows up!!!

Just tried to do what I've done many times and No Go!!

I tried the other (Basic Uploader) and it seems to have worked! However I find it harder to use!?!?!

This is what I normally do:
Create my post (text)
Click Go Advanced at the bottom of the post page
Click Manage Attachments
In the new window Click Add Files
Click Choose file
Navigate to where the file is on my computer and double click it (or click Open)
Click Upload
Click Insert Inline
Click done

I need to ensure my insertion point is at the location I want the picture to go, or else then copy and paste the HTML code
(i.e. [ ATTACH=CONFIG]12345[/ATTACH ]) to where I want the picture. However, these days the Insert Inline and Done buttons don’t work. So after doing the above, I need to close the File Upload Manager and click the little paper clip icon. The picture will be listed there and the HTML code
(i.e. [ ATTACH=CONFIG]12345[/ATTACH ]) is then inserted.

I'm not sue what you mean by the box with four dots.

I'm thinking I'm over thinking all this now and making an issue out of nothing. I do hope I'm not starting to become annoying

[EDIT] I get what you mean, you're using the Insert Image button. It worked when I used that and chose Basic Uploader. I'm not sure why I even used to go the other method now. I guess it's problem solved, thanks cudurunner!
