I see what the problem is. If you work in the advanced mode and choose the paper clip icon to load multiple images like before the system does not upload any chosen images. But if you use the picture icon it works fine and you can even upload multiple icons.
Well, I got the pictures to load using Pete's suggestion. Now, I need to figure out where to type my message..
Edit seems to work ok here but not above.???????????
Edit2:Typed first, then added the picture and it worked. Picture is of using the F4 as a work platform.
Yes, when you load a picture the window isn't big enough. It would be easier if it showed as an icon or avatar until you go to preview but it doesn't. You can grab the corner of the box and pull down to make the editing box bigger. See below:
Grab = put the arrow on the corner and click and hold down the left mouse button then move your mouse down.
Pete, I have always used the picture icon in either quick reply or advanced and have loaded multiple photos without a problem until about two weeks ago. Now I can only load single photos, so something has changed. I am on a couple of other forums that I never have any problems with, this one has been off and on problematic since last fall.

This site is getting to be very frustrating. I paid the sub price I should be able to choose to use the full site or the Mobil site on my iPhone. It keeps switching to the Mobil site, I don’t like the features of the Mobil site. Now with this problem along with the so called “improvements” they have made it will be a cold day in hell before they get another dime from me. They use to think the users were important now I feel as if they just think the advertising is the only important part of this site. I understand the need for the advertising but if you don’t give the subscribers a product they like and can use you will have no one to advertise too. This is coming from a guy who has worked in circulation fulfillment for magazine subscribers for the last 45years. I have seen magazines make fatal changes to format that destroyed their subscriber base and literally go out of business. This type of product is a 3 legged stool, advertising, content and subscribers. Loose any one of the three and the stool falls over. Stop letting programmers dictate to us.

Thanks Morris - You are a light at the end of a tunnel and it's not a freight train. My comments (or rant if you prefer) comes from a lifetime of working with programmers. It took me years to find programming people that would actually TEST a program before making it live on our databases. I ended up firing a number of them for saying " the new program was done and works" but never tested any of the many different possible inputs, except for the one they liked to use. It seems the site's programmers are not bothering to test anything and just making it the current user system. . It's wrong and eventually it is going to hurt this site in a major way.
