August 9, 201015 yr If memory serves, on the old forum system you could insert an image - from your computer - into a forum post.Now the only option I see is to insert an image from a URL - which I assume means from a storage site such as Photobucket.Is that correct or am I missing the option to get the image from my computer? :Thinking: Thanks in advance for clarifying the process.

I just did it.If you reply to a message hitting the reply button, you'll get the normal text field up. Below this is an attachment button. Use Browse and attach to insert.Here's the bad news... I wasn't able to reprodcuce this for this message you posted. I clicked Reply and no attachment dialog was shown. I tried going to the Full Editor but still no joy.So in summary, there is functionality present but I just can see how you enable that. One one occasion it worked fine and now on a different thread I don't see it.I know it doesn't solve the problem but you're not alone! Hope someone can explain how this is working now????Regards, SpoilerSystem specs: MFG Crosswind pedals| ACE B747 yoke |Honeycomb Bravo throttleNow built: P3Dv5.3HF2: Intel i5-12600K @4.8Ghz | MSI Z690-A PRO | Asus Dual RTX 4070 Super OC 12Gb| 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200Mhz |Samsung 980Evo Pro PCIe 500Gb | WD Black SN850 PCIe 2Tb | WD SA510 4Tb |beQuiet 802 Tower Case|Corsair RM850 PSU | Acer Predator X34P 3440x1440pMark AldridgeMSFS2024 SU5 & P3D v5.3 HF2
August 10, 201015 yr You have to attach the image to a post, once you do that is should come up with an "Insert into Post" link Brian Sperduto
August 10, 201015 yr Author You have to attach the image to a post, once you do that is should come up with an "Insert into Post" linkSo does that only apply to "original" posts ? I do not see any option to attach anything as I write this reply to your message.Confused for sure.
August 10, 201015 yr It should apply to any post, you do have to use the full editor though Brian Sperduto
August 10, 201015 yr Author It should apply to any post, you do have to use the full editor thoughAs far as I know I am using the full editor - I have the various text options etc. - a choice in my Profile if I remember - but still see no option to attach anything during a reply.If, during a reply, there is another option to select a full editor, I am not seing that either.Sorry for being such a bother.
August 10, 201015 yr When you go to reply to a post it should take you to a new page, Right past the text area where you enter your reply should be the Attachments section Brian Sperduto

August 10, 201015 yr Author No Joy Brian -Now neither the small reply option at the base of a message or the Add Reply are showing any attach option or any use Full editor option.FYI I have been using IE for years (Ver 7 now I think it is) with never any issues here at Avsim or anywhere else.:Thinking:

August 10, 201015 yr Press "reply" immediately below the post you want to reply to (nevermind the "fast reply" at the bottom of the page, that doesn't give you this) or "start new topic". Either way, you should be seeing the following:I've circled the button you need to press in red. Then the small box appears where you can insert the link to the image you've already uploaded. Hope it helps! :Peace:

August 10, 201015 yr It might - if I had ever seen an option to upload an image - but that has not happened so far.Oh, I thought you were looking in the wrong place.I'm no programmer, but I'd first of all try to update Internet explorer to version 8. A lot of the forum seems to be in javascript, so try updating java as well.I'm wildly guessing here, but updating sure can't hurt.
