Forum Troubleshooting - Picture Problems w/Internet Explorer? Look Here

[SSNJim]

This was one of those problems that a lot of people had for a while here, and then it just went away. The official solution for this problem, as with all problems on the forum, is to install and use Firefox or another off-brand browser.

What worked for a lot of people was to not use the Post button, but to use the More Reply Options button next to it, then click the Add Reply button at the bottom.

I'm one of the "lucky " ones who had this problem earlier this year . The only way I could post or reply was to use the "More Reply Options" button . It worked every time and was more of an inconvenience than anything else , and the problem went away after a while ( maybe an update ? ) .

If the compatibility trick doesn't work for you I'd give it a try .

Good Luck !

I had all kinds of problems posting until I switched to google chrome about two years ago.

Have you tried changing browsers?

Firefox is an "off-brand" browser??? So which browsers are "brand name" browsers and which are "off-brand?"

From what I've read about all of the people who say they have a problem with this site, most of them are using IE. I'm not saying that IE is the cause of the problem, but it sure looks like the vast majority of people having problems with this site are trying to access it via IE. Just sayin'...

If you update your internet explorer I think you will ne ok.

Can't post photos or paste text. Maybe it's the Microsoft upgrades??

Is it just me?

[Brett Barrow]

Cut and pasted text

Working fine for me (on Firefox).

Ira l just stoped using a 7 year old notebook and now using windows 8 and no problems. at the top of your web address there is a symbol of a piece of paper in half if you click on it that helps older browsers..

Not just you, but which web browser are you using? If IE, click the "compatibility view" button in the menu bar of IE and see if that helps.

[Casey]

it is not my browser; it is up to date but hasn't been updated anytime real recently.

Is the Compatibility View feature working when you're viewing this website?

Make sure your Adobe Flash Player is updated, too, as that is used when the editing function is used.

That little thing flummoxed me for the longest time. A board with an "OFF" switch...Who's idea was that? Features? We don't want no stink'n features!

Today when I tried to post some pictures, I got this message that the option was restricted, and I did not have permission to use that option. Was there some editing going on today?

[Casey]

I don't think so. In which section of the forum were you trying to post the images, and what size were they/was each?

[Ace-Garageguy]

In my own experience, sometimes it depends on the image source and the exact format it's in. Occasionally when I'm trying to copy an image to this board (usually to illustrate a technical answer) from an I-net source, I'll get a message saying "that image extension isn't allowed here" or some such, even though it's tagged as a common jpeg, gif, etc. Saving the image to my own machine and then uploading to photobucket reconfigures the "bad" extension sufficiently to allow it to go through on this board.

[Lunajammer]

I've gotten that. I've assumed it's a photo protection feature. I resave the file with a different name then upload to photo hosting site but if Bill's right I probably don't have to do that.

[cobraman]

I have had problems the last 2 days trying to post photos from my Photobucket listings. Never had a problem before and am doing everything the same way. ???? I did have a little box pop up that said something about connection or such and asked me to paste in the box and then hit ok. Did that to no avail. Will have my wife look at whats going on this weekend as I just know enough to totally screw things up. : )

[chevyfever2009]

I have had this happen to me and the fix to it is delete some of you old posted pics
