[Retired Member southey]

A few suggestions that may help you...

Clear your browser cache and cookies if you haven't done so for a while, and disable any script/ad blocking addons (or similar) and see if normal service is resumed? Also if your Anti-Virus has multi-layer protection, such as Kaspersky or Avast, disable your web/internet shield whilst on this site for a few minutes only, to test?

it seems I have to reselect the text box before pressig the pic box so that the little clip board next to the bold button is showing instead of being opaque, then the post pic button works fine. Odd ball.

... the little clip board next to the bold button is showing instead of being opaque,

What OS / ISP system thingy are you on? I ask as I don't have a clip board next to the bold ~ I've two clip boards next to each other for 'Paste as Plain Text' and 'Paste from Word', they're in the top line of the tool bar and are the second symbol block in from the left.

The only opaque tool option I have which changes to solid when the main text block is clicked on is 'Unlink' (Globe with a X).

Fire fox on what ever browser is on a blackberry on os7 but its the same on the lapto on fire fox vista bt, a clip boardl a box with a blue and red A then a gap then the clipboard again then bold and so on, I can tell your impressed by my tecnical know-how!

It's only a few months since I had the sense to move away from AOL / I.E (I had to wait for a download to complete ), I'm sayin' nothin about anyone else's tech-wizardliness .

I think your systems are a generation or two ahead of mine ~ but the Forum tool bar on Chrome and AOL/I.E are so close that I don't notice any differences if I move from one to the other .


What do you have 'Editor' switched to? For me the Editor switch is shown as the symbol [SUP]A[/SUP]/A ~ with the options 'Source Mode' and 'WYSIWYG'. Editor probably has no effect on your issue but (for me) if set to 'WYSIWIG' the lowest tier of the tool bar becomes opaque.

I've just experienced exactly the same bug.

Any ideas guys?

The first picture works fine for me but it's usually the second or third picture I post when it hangs up.

As Southey says, if you click the text box then try again it seems to work but it's definitely unusual behaviour because it hasn't happened before.

works ok for me too.
