Has something happened to the method for posting photos?

It seems that only photos on an external hosting site, eg, Photobucket, can be uploaded. Is that correct?

Is the ability to post from my own computer not available anymore?

That doesn't tell me much Dunc.

When I select "Post Image or File", I only get the option to upload from a URL, "Embed a Web Hosted Image", not one from my computer.

Am I misinterpreting something?

Just saw your followup Dunc.

I clicked on that, it responded by turning grey, but nothing else happened.

I'll try later.

If you click on "Insert Images & Files" below, then "open photos or files" it should take you directly to where you have your photos stored. Follow the prompts from there.

Make sure you give back more than you take

Try close and open browser again. There have been no changes in this area at all.

OK, the link seems to require a double click.

Tricky.

All good now.

GB, You would be using IE is that correct. I think I know where the double click problem may be if you are using IE and will look at this today.
