Why don't these forums allow for image uploads or appearing as linked images?

Neither the Attach Files or Image icon work properly for me. I am using the latest version of Firefox.

 

Attach option fails ("Uploading is not allowed" interrupts the "You can upload up to ___ of files" message) and the Image icon only returns a hyerplink indication, as shown in this post:

What image host are you using and what link from said host are you trying to use? For instance photobucket has direct image link and img code links among others.

Flickr and it's the link that is for the particular image. Here's an example:

 

 

I opened the Image icon, and then pasted the URL into the field.

What I would prefer to do is upload such screenshots directly, so that I don't have to upload into my photography feed on Flickr. Does the Attach file feature on these forums work for other folks, and if so, is it a browser issue?

You mean like the image below?

 

If that's what you mean then you have to make sure that you're

A.) Using the full editor

B.) That once you pick your file you click attach this file

C.) Click add to post.

Using the full editor. No matter the size of the JPG that I attach, I see this message:

 

 

"You can upload up to Uploading is not allowed of files (Max. single file size: 10MB)"

[phazer11]

Then the only thing I can think of is that you're either trying to upload too big of files in comparison to how much space you've already used or you have something that is blocking the upload like maybe NoScript or something.

there are only certain files type to can upload.

I had trouble in the past with .bmp

I believe it is accepted that .png are the best for internet images...

Wow, that is a horrible way to word that and wasn't .png developed because of the internet?
