I’ve moved @dh42’s post here to keep the other thread clean, as this seemed the most relevant place for it.

Hi David,
Sorry I missed your post at the time, I’ve just worked out what’s going on with some attachments failing while others work fine.

It seems to happen when you try to add images via the Quick Reply box. If you hit the Go Advanced button instead, you’ll get a new page with an Attachments section below the message box. There’s a Manage Attachments button there, and using that to upload (or manage previous uploads) works fine for me - tested in Chrome on desktop.

As I mentioned in another thread, this has been a long-standing quirk. I’ve got bigger upgrades coming, including a proper migration to a new platform, and I’ll share more on that soon.

In the meantime, to try and reduce the confusion for new members when their images don’t appear, I’ve removed the attachment icons from the quick reply header for now. Not ideal, I know but at least it should save people from hitting the same frustration until the proper fix is in place.

Thanks, again for your patience and for sticking with it.

(sorry, can't find the "quote" button on the "advanced" editor )

Test in advanced mode (and "insert InLine")

Nice, you can use the "Reply With Quote" in the lower right of said post:

Ok, nice using bbcode tags directly seems to works ;)

Code:

---

    ' setting menu clicked - open the form
    Public Shared Sub DimArrow_set_clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        'menu settings clicked
        'show the settings form
        'attach the tool windows to the main cambam window, and open it
        Dim f As Form = New ClassDimArrow.DimArrow_settings
        ThisApplication.TopWindow.AddOwnedForm(f)

        f.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

---

[ code]
' setting menu clicked - open the form
Public Shared Sub DimArrow_set_clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'menu settings clicked
'show the settings form
'attach the tool windows to the main cambam window, and open it
Dim f As Form = New ClassDimArrow.DimArrow_settings
ThisApplication.TopWindow.AddOwnedForm(f)

f.ShowDialog()

End Sub
[ /code]


the space after [ must be removed for the tags to woks. I use it only to show the tag text (seems code tags must not be used into another code tag, because the appears as nested code instead to show the tag text)
