    Start a new discussion thread, and describe your issue in the forum text.  Google drive links that require you to grant access before people can access them are not friendly - I redacted that link.

  • I couldn't post the image it was not uploading to post it, so I need the link to stay in the post

      Well, if you put it back make sure the permissions are set up so anyone with the link can download the file (without having to request access from you).

       

      And please start a new discussion thread.

    When attempting to post an image, did this appear at the bottom of the screen? (click on the link)

    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/01rafasbdw00mo0dg35k5/MediaUpload.png?rlkey=xdkk1vam7w5swsnz6a2dcgjs8&dl=0

     

    If so, there is a problem many users have been encountering since just after Christmas.  For now, it appears that the only practical solution is to upload the image to one of the Cloud sites (DropBox, Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive, etc.) and post a link to the file.  As StephenB​ mentioned, the link needs to be accessible without the user logging in or entering credentials.

    Select the menu symbol to insert/edit a link.  Past the link to the file in the box.

     

    After YEARS of simply pasting images into posts, the loss of this feature is really annoying.  I'm hoping now that the holidays and weekend are over, someone will undo whatever change was made to the Forum software that caused this problem.
