Re: Picture upload
I’m having the same problem, and I don't have a limit. GaryDoug also. I posted this for Internet Brands in the Admin forum, but I don't think they have even read it. I'll try again.
They are upgrading things constantly. A shame we don’t have enough members to benefit.
I don’t know if you have noticed the new “infinite scroll” feature. If you click on a multiple page thread, without selecting a specific page, it goes to the first post, and you can scroll down continuously with no pagination at all, all the way to the last post. A new navigation panel appears at the bottom of the screen.

Re: Picture upload

Re: Picture upload
Clicked manage attachments, "Browse Device" appeared, but button didn't work. Waited, and eventually is added a "My Albums" button. Took a very long time to load. But I was able to upload from my laptop. The photo is 197 KB.
I also clicked on the "My Albums" button, and a strip of my photos appeared at the top of the page. I double clicked on one, and it appeared to move down on the open field below the strip, but then disappeared. Clicked the "Upload" button and it didn't work. Maybe I didn't give it enough time. I'll try again.
Tried a 562 KB photo from my laptop. Appeared on the Manage Attachments screen, but tried twice to upload and did not work.
Let's try a upload from Albums. Same problem.... selected image appears in upload field very briefly and disappears. "Upload" button is not active.

Re: Picture upload
When in "infinite scroll", there will be a bar at the bottom of the page that allows you to go to the "First" page, and then use the "Next" button to go page-by-page.

Re: Picture upload
Switched to Chrome to see if the results are any different.
Testing 197 KB photo from Windows 10 laptop
Nope- same photo as above. After clicking Go Advance, clicked on Manage Attachments. Same as above - "Browse Your Device" showed up immediately, but took about 30 seconds before "My Albums" button appeared. Clicked Browse...., selected photo, photo loaded, "Upload" button went from shaded to live, clicked Upload, nothing happened.
OK, let's give Chrome a shot at the "Albums.....". Same results - band of photos at top. Clicked on the one I wanted, it appeared for less than 1 second in the open field below the band of photos. While it briefly appeared, the "Upload" button briefly went from shaded to live, but returned to shaded and would not work. Also tried to drag and drop the selected photo, but didn't work.
I'll give Cheryl at Internet Brands a link to this thread.

Re: Picture upload
Let's see if I can upload a photo.....
Nope, no can do.
For what it may be worth, I also visit another IB site with the new software and sometimes I notice that it takes two attempts to upload a photo. Maybe about 10% of the time.

Re: Picture upload
No luck yet, I see this text box message when I hover over the Upload button after selecting an image (40kB size): "Please wait until the processes end to insert them into a post"

Re: Picture upload
Apparently inserting a text file as an attachment works ok:. Also, saving the same JPG image as a BMP file works too, while the JPG file stops:
