Dave Ambrose Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Let's see if this works -- I dragged and dropped the file into the area at the bottom of the editor. That seems to work, and actually work very well. The insert URL just sat there and spun its little working animation. I was using the direct URL from photobucket..

MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) OK, I just attached this pic from my own hard disc, and not from Fotki. I see the box with the drop down menu where you can attach a pic to a post with its URL---------tried that just now from Fotki, and it's still not working. FWIW, I'm on my laptop as opposed to my PC, and the issue remains the same. Here's the pic from my hard disc........... I see it showing up on my end..........let's see if It remains after I hit the "Submit Reply" button. OK, that works........But as Tom mentioned, is there going to be a limit on how many pics one can post using this method? ..................And here's another. Didn't see the "Max Total Size" amount change as of yet. Edited July 27, 2015 by MrObsessive
BIGTRUCK Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Gregg, the "insert other media" "insert image from URL" was the way I always posted pictures, Friday you could paste in the code, hit "insert image to post" and the little loading icon just keeps spinning. Sunday I got it to accept 1 image code and it appeared in the draft stage, but when I sent it to post it was gone.Dave, loading from the hard drive is the option, but when you run out of room and delete pictures it leaves the forum with broken links in the thread, its all workable just have to change the way I do pictures on the cave wall.
Tom Geiger Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 "Do you guys see the "Insert other media" grey button above the "Submit Reply" black button on the bottom of the reply to topic?" Yes, it appears just as you describeThat has two options, existing attachment, and "insert image from URL"Do they not work? No, the button brings up pop up. The "insert image from URL" allows me to put in my image location text, but once you hit "insert image in post" the squirrel cage just turns and turns, never ending. It's stuck. I just tried the "insert existing attachment" button. It gives me an error message, "The page you are trying to access is not available for your account." Maybe because I have no images saved? I dunno Also, I really want the image to open in a new window, not your existing one. It does bring up a pop upThanks for all the work and concern.
Guest Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 All I do is copy the link from mynetimages, and paste it here, works fine.
Exotics_Builder Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Okay. I have some work to do.I'll look into this tonight.Do you guys see the "Insert other media" grey button above the "Submit Reply" black button on the bottom of the reply to topic?That has two options, existing attachment, and "insert image from URL"Do they not work? Also, I really want the image to open in a new window, not your existing one.I have the other issues in a file to work on.mahaloThanks for the bit about the phone default theme.Didn't know that, and will try to post notice about themes also. that may be an issue, since I did change the theme when this all started.going bald....arrrgggghhhh The insert other media insert image from URL no longer works, but I did insert the image with a copy from Photobucket and Paste in the editor. Your comment of this being a WYSIWYG editor made think this morning to try out a paste such as building a word document and it did work.

crazyjim Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I copy the IMG code from Photobucket and then use Control V to paste into the forum. At least it was working like that last week or 2 weeks ago.
AzTom Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) This photo is from the "insert existing attachment". I could not get the URL to work. Edited July 27, 2015 by AzTom
MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) OK-----here's a test to see if this'll work from Fotki. OK.............Now I'll try to post this............... Edited July 27, 2015 by MrObsessive
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Interesting new and very annoying glitch...I just wrote a long and thought out technical response to a question asked, hit "submit reply", and the site took me to a "404 error, the page you're looking for does not exist" screen and dumped my reply.Nice.

I hate when that happens, although never here. If I'm typing a long post I usually "copy" it before hitting the post button.
MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Same thing happened to me just now Bill, as I tried to reply to the pic I posted and what I was seeing on my end. Oh well...........back to the drawing board!

Bummer. For a lengthy post, I always copy it, paste it in Word and save. THEN hit 'send' in the thread. I don't trust these new electrons yet............. Edited July 27, 2015 by Cato
AzTom Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Here is another attempt from Fotki using "Right Click" Edited July 29, 2015 by AzTom
MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 The pic appears "squashed" from my view.........I copied the image from Fotki, and pasted in the reply box. That's one way to get pics to show from there------just appears distorted too much for me. .......................And now the blue color I like to use has been scrubbed for the moment it seems.

The photo looks fine to me. What link did you use? When I use the Code for Forums you can click on my photo and it will take you to my Fotki page, your photo does not.
Roadrunner Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I hate when that happens, although never here. If I'm typing a long post I usually "copy" it before hitting the post button.Amen to that. I'm so paranoid about power outages or web glitches (no UPS system on my PC), that I routinely copy lengthy text before punching submit, or type and save in Outlook, just in case.

Tom, I just right clicked on the pic, hit "copy image", then pasted it here in the text box. It showed up right away, and seems to be a bit distorted on my end. Let's try another............... OK.........this one's looking fine from my end. Might have been the way the first pic was originally loaded. Anyway, that seems to be the way to go to get pics to show here from Fotki. I have a Photobucket account, and I'll see how that method works here shortly.
XJ6 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Photo upload test ? Edited July 27, 2015 by XJ6 Test went fine just checking

AzTom Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Bill, I had not tried right click copy on the photo to use on forums before. Don, What method did you use to load that photo?
MrObsessive Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Kevin, the squashed view went away after I adjusted my screen resolution a bit. Lately as the 'ol eyes get older, I have to "blow things up" so I can see them. The 'Vette appeared squashed too at first. but once I backed off on the resolution, it looked normal as I originally uploaded it. Here's a pic from Photobucket............... No I didn't build this! This is a Danbury Mint I once had but sold a few years ago. Seems to work with them also!
