OK I give up ... how do you insert an image in a PM?
« on: August 14, 2021, 11:03:38 AM »
If I try to insert image in PM   .. I just get but no prompt to link or drop image in?

Any ideas? SteveD?

I don't think you can. I've tried in the past.

Tried emailing but the email address was wrong......bunged image in my Dropbox and member couldn't read the linked file.

My main point is that there is function to insert an image but it doesn't appear to work.

I will PM SteveD

Sorry. Been offline for a couple of days.
Wedding anniversary. Full house.

This has never worked, nor been explained by the SMF tech people.
The forum software is fairly “mature”. I’ve used it since 2007 and it hasn’t changed much.

Maybe time to give them a poke and find out why.
