Continuing problems with posting

Just alerting: that posting images doesn't appear to work (for me) ie I just wasted my time writing a post with a single jpg attachment, that didn't load.
All that happens is the page goes blank when I press post  :(
As I say, just alerting...someone  ;)

This has happened to me in other Forums, but not here ...
That's why I write all texts in an editor before  ;)

If you can, habitually get yourself to do a Ctrl+A / Ctrl+C (PC) or Cmd+A / Ctrl+C (Mac) on the main form field of anything you submit prior to doing so, it saved me trouble enough times as you can always paste what you had in a second try. What browser/OS did the quirk appear on?

Koshy had a little ELPH which wasn't white as snow but everywhere that Koshy went the ELPH was sure to go. (actually an SD, but that detail ruins the rhyme...)

@koshy

A Win10 set up using Firefox.

Fully understand your suggestion and others, i.e. compose in a word processor.

All good advice.

Cheers

Moved to issues section and tagging @acseven

edit:
I haven't had problems attaching files or posting recently, but I haven't posting images. Sometimes I get session timeout, but re-posting seems to be OK.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m currently traveling and can’t check if there’s anything I can do really.

In any case, issues like these are tricky to debug and the platform is really not working well enough. The plan is to migrate the forum to a new, more stable platform in a few months time, if everything goes to plan.
