You used to be able to add attachments directly from a local hard drive, is that not possible anymore? or am I missing something?

[Mystery Man]

I'm wondering about this too. It gives the option to "Inser other media" but only allows to Inser existing attachments or from urls. 

[Psyguy]

Me too. Any movement on this?

The image attachment function is now drag and drop or manual selection and the vehicle for it is at the bottom of the text window. Drag images into the grey box and they will upload or you can manually "choose files" OR you can insert code via "source" in the upper left corner.

My text window doesn't have the source button or the clip with the drag files text next to it in Chrome or IE. I had to copy/paste someone else's trade list and then modify it to get columns to work.

[Shanester]

I'm in chrome now and I have it.  Let me do some looking into it.  The Invision support boards are fun to read lately.  Everyone is blaming Invision for ruining their forums...

[Shanester]

The insert other media is what you use to insert hosted images.

[Shanester]

OK PK, try again.  No "Source" button, but with "Insert Other Media", you don't need it.  Members should post hosted images when possible.

[MisterPL]

I've got the "Insert other media" button (have for some time) but the "Drag files here..." option isn't showing up here on Safari.

[pk13]

Yup, it's showing up in the bottom left now. I use photobucket, but was just mentioning it in case others were having the same issue. Thanks Shane!

[MisterPL]

It's not showing up in my Firefox browser either.

I can see it in several browsers, including FF.  I used a non mod/admin account to see if that was the issue and it wasn't.  I will check with IPS and see if this is a reported bug. Can you see the Insert other media dropdown?

[MisterPL]

Yup, no problem there.

[MisterPL]

Okay, I just tried it again with Firefox AND Safari. The "Drag files here..." text and paperclip icon appeared on both for less than a second and then disappeared. Weirdness. I even tried clicking on the spot where they were and got nothing. The problem might be on my end.

Same thing is happening for me..... all I wanna do is show my Zartan WIP ...

[MisterPL]

At least I know it's NOT on my end.

 

[turns around, doesn't see Nervous]

 

Nope. It's not just on my end.

[Mystery Man]

 

I'm guessing using a phone means no more direct picture uploading for me?

 

I can always go the other route and put 'em on Photobucket!

[Shanester]

I'm working on this, but I've just had a death in the family, so it may take me a bit.  Just know, its not being ignored. I check with IPS and its not a known bug.

Sorry to hear that, Shane. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[MisterPL]

My condolences, Shane. Family first, always.

[Shanester]

Thanks guys.  My Step-Dad passed this morning.  He has been my Step-Dad since I was 13 years old, so it hurts a bit.  I appreciate the understanding and patience.

Condolences to you and your family, Shane.

[NerdyTrev]

Sorry to hear, Shane. I'll be praying for you and your family.
