It started right after the last board "upgrade" and my links work perfectly in every other forum I post in.

Scale-Master Posted May 9, 2021 Author Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) I'm trying Force's suggestion here. Looks like it works. But the forum-ware is very clunky and time consuming to post photos with now. Is everyone having to do this "add one photo at a time" process since the software update? If so how did they all know how to do this now, and if not why am I having to do so? I hope the administrators can put the way to post photos back to the normal way it has been for decades. Also, it's too bad the EDIT feature is not available on the original post. At least it is turned back on for this one as it was not available at all after the update.

Monty Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Mark, great to see this one finished...literally. Killer work, as usual. Glad to see you were able to figure out a workaround for posting pics. Sorry to hear it's so cumbersome. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates your posting of the link to previous pics as your WIP stuff is always interesting and informative.

I also hope that admins eventually fix this problem of posting photos as links to other sites. In the "Can't see my photos" thread I have offered workarounds that seem to work for others. One is to take the link to your photo from a 3rd party photo host and paste it into MS Windows Notepad. There, strip anything other than the URL link itself (it should start with "https" and end with ".jpg". Then copy the link from the Notepad (that is important), and paste it into the text composer window in the forum. That should properly show the photo (not its link) within the post. I am able to do that to the links in your initial post and they show up properly. Or if you want to host the photos here, and they reside on the computer you are using to view the forum, you can just select the photos you want to upload to your post, then drag them into the area that shows a paper clip, below the composer window. Once they sow up in that section you can add them to the composer window. And as far as editing posts goes, that is still available, but the new forum version very stupidly hid that selection. I don't know why programmers complicate things like that. Seems that they want users to go on a treasure hunt to find the hidden options. There are three dots at the upper right of your post. Click on them to bring up a "more" menu. Edit Post should be the bottom of the 3 options there. But if the "edit" selection is not there then that means the editing is no longer possible.
