Posting pics... have I missed some info somewhere?

Norwegian_Blue

I'm finding an issue that hits around 75% of the time when posting photos since the update. You click on the image tab, paste in the address, and press enter to drop it into the message. However pressing enter also posts the message, usually without the photo! Apologies if there is an answer to this but i haven't seen it anywhere!

I find the easiest way since the update is instead of right click + "copy image location" I go with "copy image" and paste into the comment box, thus:

Damn

I found I need to press right curser rather than return to embed the image link.

Works like a charm @steamabacus !

I find it's actually easier to just drag & drop the picture from wherever it is into the posting window - I was surprised the first time I tried it, but it works.

From my iPhone, I seem only able to post a link to an image.  Not a big problem, but if I'm missing a useful tip, would be good to know. 

I used to use Photobucket, but it's gone to pot.  Now use Imgur.

How is embedding of media *supposed* to work in the new text ed?

There are repeated problems posted re this (I've had probs too).  The actual method obviously depends on image source/host, user platform/browser, etc, and the old "how-to" thread & tips don't seem to work anymore.

Not usually on a Saturday night, no :P

I'm still trying to figure out where the intended behaviours come from. It's a weird mix of server-side and client-side code that doesn't entirely make sense.

One thing I do know is that @Emp_Fab's approach only works for modmins, and that's deliberate (call it a perk of the job).

The code tells you what it does not what it's supposed to do.

Well, yes. What I'm trying to determine is what the original intention was, which - I'll admit - is somewhat silly given what we know of the rest of the code. I'm not entirely sure where else to go, though.

I'm guessing there's a helpful hidden meaning in there.

I suppose it depends on how you feel about Nietzsche

I also don't have much luck posting pictures using the UI, I usually have to go into the HTML source of the post and manually add the <img> tags.
