...in this post: https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=29726.msg365715#msg365715

I did the Additional Options / Choose File, and the filename was displayed as the chosen file (a .png). But the picture didn't show up in the preview (unlike that one the other day that did appear in the preview but not in the posted post due to some software issue that Graham spotted).

I didn't want to risk posting it without the pic, so uploaded it elsewhere and supplied a link. But shouldn't the attach option have worked?

Smiley yes because I did it as a link to an external hosting site in the end, as the attach didn't appear to be working.

Personally, I prefer to include a link to an image on an external site when I post an item.

It then appears, as an image, in context, within my post.  CfN▸ (Chris from Nailsea, an administrator on this forum).  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Sure, but presumably it would still be good to understand why the attach didn't work? Speaking as a software developer Smiley

Attached images do not show in the preview. That's just how it is.

Ok, I think I'm getting confused - when I said above:

thinking about it, it was a link to another site, not an attach.

Apologies - next time I'll just cross my fingers and post Smiley
