Trying to investigate a problem with the Community Forum. For YEARS I have used "cut and paste" to insert images into Forum posts. Recently, every time I attempt to do this a message pops up at the bottom of the screen saying "Media Upload in Progress. Try again in a few moments." This happens when using Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera web browsers. Tried to use the "Insert Media" (camera icon) and the same thing happened. Tried to make an attachment, which disappeared. (Attachments are not nearly as "user friendly" as cut and paste.)
So, the question is:
- Is there a problem with the Forum software that it no longer allows images in posts? or....
- Is there a problem with my account (or my computer?) that I am no longer allowed to include images?
It would be helpful if some of you could Reply to this post and include any sort of image.
Thanks

Had really hoped someone would post a Reply with an obvious "cut and paste" to show that the problem affects some users, but obviously not all users. (sigh)
