MikeFromMesa Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have tried several times to upload images with a post and imbed them in the message itself. Every time I have done this, I thought successfully, and went to view the post I got a message telling me that I did not have permission to open the image and so I began to use dropbox links instead. I assume I am making some basic mistake in how I upload the images since other people seem to have no problem. Can anyone tell me what mistake I am making? Or, alternately, tell me how to do this successfully? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, did you use More Reply Options at the bottom of the screen? Then Attach Files? File should be on your computer... or if that doesn't work, More Reply Options, then Image Properties, it's the polaroid icon below the font colour and smiley face. Use this for n image that's out on the web; just cops that image's URL and paste it into the box below the letters URL.

Use this for n image that's out on the web; just cops that image's URL and paste it into the box below the letters URL. HTH peter I should have been more complete in my post. I am doing the following: 1) Use the main post stream. Fill in the subject and the post. 2) Place my cursor at the point in the message where I want the image attached, 3) Use the Attach Files button to bring up the upload information. Select a file on my computer and allow it to be uploaded, 4) Post the topic. When I then go to read the most and try to open the image to view it larger I get a message telling me that I don't have permission to view the image. At that point my steps were to delete the image, upload the image to dropbox, get a link and insert it into the message. That is why my posts have links rather than direct images.

peter Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This is exactly the same problem, that I get from time to time. I don't know how to deal with it, this is one for the dev team. As this seems to be a forum gremlin that just won't go away. You could ask: MEB - moderator, (first point of contact) MattP - staff TonyB - Boss HTH peter MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that posting on the forum would draw the attention of some of the development staff but perhaps I need to send a PM instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted March 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just a quick question - does this happen in a specific forum? (Photo Beta, for example) Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFromMesa Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 It happens with every post in all sections that I have uploaded to. Those are bugs and general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted March 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2015 This may sound silly, but what happens if you post an image and wait for a few minutes - does it start to work? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check as soon as I have a regular Internet connection (I am on a trip and responding using my iPad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
