POSTING PICTURES FROM YOUR COMPUTER

Looks like it worked. Cute picture!

I click on upload attachments and then I click on select files and nothing happens. I never had this problem before.

Same problem here

This is a computer with IE11, Windows 7 Pro, Avast! Free AV, and MalwareBytes Antimalware Pro running.

No issue at all uploading graphics.

Why can't I and other members post pictures with no help from tech support. I haven't changed anything with the way I use to post pictures. Some answers I got was to use Firefox or some other program...WHY? when I didn't need it before?

Because technology marches on. This most recent change was to eliminate the use of Flash in the uploading process and go to html5 for this. This allows people using iPhones and iPads to upload photos...something they could not do before.

The vast majority of members are not having any problems here. Those that are using Internet Exploder are having more problems than others. That's not a surprise because Internet Exploder is a horrible browser.

You hear Firefox mentioned often because it is a MUCH better browser and IT WORKS.

So why we left in the dark with no announcement about changes. What am I supposed to do use an I phone or add another format so Ican add pictures?

There was no announcement because for 99.9% of the forum members who post pictures it was a non-event. Nothing changed and they can still post pictures just fine.

Read this thread carefully. The people who are having problems are running old versions of Windoze (Vista), old versions of Internet Exploder (ver 9 and older) and outdated anti-virus software.

Technology marches on...

works just fine with IE windows 8

just testing

test using windows 7 and IE 11.

I'm not sure who came up with 99.9% of your users not being affected by this....but I would certainly call those results into question.

Someone has made a high level decision which makes it easier to upload pix if you're an Apple user....but impossible if you're an "old" IE user.

Does anyone else find the mantra of "technology marches on" somewhat ironic....when our hobby is greatly centered on our past?  Why am I being treated as if I'm trying to upload pix using an Atari 2600?

Yes, technology marches on. 

Are you willing to adapt?

Which version on IE are you using?

Have you tried downloading a different browser like Chrome?

Chrome works very good for me. 

But not always in a positive direction....adapting usually comes with a price tag attached.   

BTW, Firefox locks up and crashes daily on both of my computers and is no more reliable or stable than IE.  Slowly moving to Chrome....but I suspect that all browsers have their own odd little foibles and personalities despite whatever mythos is followed.

While I know a lot of the focus for this problem is browsers, my particular problem arose when I moved from version 6.3 to version 7.0 of my firewall.  I confirmed this by trying to upload one picture using IE, Firefox, Opera and Chrome, none of which worked.

Many people have automatic update set in their firewalls and may not even realize that some particular update might have caused the problem.  I always set security programs to alert me to available updates so that I can trace potential problems like this, after the update I perform, when they arise.

You can call the results into question all you want. Out of 14,950 members here, the only people having issues posting pictures are some of those posting within this thread.

You can accuse me of being arrogant if you wish, but that still doesn't solve your problem. Download FIREFOX and your problem will likely go away. I use it literally every day with zero problems.

Rich,
   For some reason today I was unable to get the OGR forum to post my copied pictures from Photo Bucket, they copy on to the OGR thread but do not post for some reason, can your fix this problem?

Rich as you see the symbol above is all that posts now!

As a long time IE user, I too was always put off by Rich's constant put down of Internet "Exploder".  It was my browser of choice for several years and I never had any problems with it.  Plus, I make my living developing applications using the Microsoft product suite so I wasn't about to use any other browser.  About 6 months ago I began having big time problems with it crashing and running sluggishly on my Windows 7 machine.  My 15 year-old son had been using Google Chrome on his Windows 7 machine and suggested I do the same.  Boy, am I happy I did.  It is stable and much more reliable than the version of IE I had been running.  So...Rich's recommendation to avoid IE does have merit IMHO.
