Unable to post images on the site

[quickccc]

While i am glad to still have Cowboys Zone forum in any sense., i don't like that:
- I can no longer post fun pics,
- no true search tool within the site, not resort to outside Google for such
forum search.
- Several key emotiocons are gone.
- Still cannot re-edit my previous posts outside 20 minutes

Seems like the site workings have been downsized. Maybe to make it less expensive ?
i'm still working with the new to see what the likable differences and improvement are here.
I'm not broken in yet ...

I have no problem posting pics, nor did I notice any missing emojis. Not sure about the editing time, as I haven't tested it. There's an emoji that wasn't even there before. I think a few just look different (better, IMO) than before.

I do not have any issues either. I have tried drag/dropping and copy/pasting images without any issues.

I cannot get anyone who is having problems though to tell me what browser and device they are using, so I can only assume only some devices are affected.

I'm not sure what drag/dropping is, but I just use Imgur to post pics.

To all of the people who are unable to copy/paste images, what browser and device are you using?

I just tested it in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge using both "copy and paste image" and "drag and drop" and it worked fine in both desktop browsers.

For example, I've used Pinterest or Wikipedia from time to time to simple copy-paste Much easier to access and execute ... any reason why that would not work now ?

i thought it was just my PC but now since the change i notice i no longer have that capacity. on any device per PC,(home or work) laptop, mobile phone. ....

^^^ I just dragged and dropped that image from Wikipedia into this box and it worked fine.

As for Pinterest, that likely has more to do with how they store images in a way to make it harder for people to copy their images outside of Pinterest. Meaning, they likely using a weird content type or extension manipulation to make editors think its not an image.

Drag and dropping from Pinterest did not work, but that could be for several reasons.

Hmmm. i've again tried right hand click from "Copy Image" from Wikipedia ..and it's not working for me.
I've tried cleaning my browser history, to hope that works ...and Nada

i tried to look back at older posts to find an example of previously existing emoticons but apparentlly with the new Forum some of the emoticons (ala purple " rolled eyes" ) are no longer here.

i don't think the problem was Pinterest, as it was working primary to the forum change. i still use it and it's still easy workings.

@Runwildboys i too am not sure what drop and drag is either. Especially trying to do that from one site to another.

and from Pinterest, you just " right hand click " to " Copy Image " to Paste ... right ..?

That's long been my bread and butter, but for some reason,.or any device, i just cannot get it working for me.

You can also do it the normal way by right clicking on the image you want to post from another site, then copy the "Image Link/URL" (not the address bar URL), then in the editor click on the PHOTO icon and then then paste the image URL in there.

As I said though, i can copy/paste images without any issues so not sure why it is not working for some people unless they are using less popular browsers or have software installed that's preventing it for some reason.

From Wikipedia I did that and it worked fine.

Pinterest does not seem to work, but they go out there way to place overlays over their images, so I'm not surprised.

I suggest downloading Imgur. It's free and easy to use, with simple one click options for sizes.
