I thought I'd got the same issue when trying to post an image from a Mac and have always, in the past, had to upload the image to my own server and add it via a link...

However - I've just tried doing it via the "Attachments and other options" link and it works  :-))

The only thing to be aware of, so far as I can see, is that any such image won't show up when you "Preview" the post. It only shows when you actually "Post" it.

*Edited to add that I've done this in Firefox

Hi Phil and Dave.

 I am quite puzzled by events.
On the 15th Nov on Jerry's thread I posted pics in my usual manner with no problem.

I wrote my message and then had the pics ready on the desktop to the size below 300kb as usual.

I clicked on to + Attachments and other options.

The page changed to Attach with box below to Choose file
Clicked on the choose file and a drop down box came up on the top R/H side.
I picked Desktop and the  pics that I wanted 1- at a time and they all registered in the choose file boxes
Clicked post and away they went

No problem as this was how I have been posting pics for years.

Now when I get to the choose file box, click on it and nothing happens!!!!!!!!

As  Mac users any thoughts ??

 George.
