Posting a picture / image; how to add or embed an image or video in a post
HOW TO EMBED IMAGES: See tutorial information in posts 1 - 4.

Not every Forum accepts the embedding of images; for those that do, please follow the FlyerTalk Rules. From the FlyerTalk Rules:

8. Posting of Images link to this rule.
You may embed non-animated images in your posts. Your images must conform to all FlyerTalk content rules, must convey relevant, on-topic information and are not allowed in signature lines or user profiles other than in the space designated in your profile for your picture. (See also, Rule 2 — User Profiles.) Please size your images large enough to get your point across but not so that they distort FlyerTalk standard column widths.
To attach of a doc, docx, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, pdf, png, xls or xlsx file from your device, or to add a thumbnail (or up to six thumbnail photos to your post, see the first and second posts in this thread.

If your image fails to load, the first thing to try is clearing your browser’s cache.

NOTE: At this time, embedding animated images is not allowed (see this link to the FlyerTalk rule).

(Posts with embedded or attached videos, files or images made here as tests of how this works will routinely be deleted for systems efficiency.

You have some sort of popup that's blocking your ability to act through it. I am out of ideas.

Let me know all your info and I'll see if anyone else can help

But the “new” photo uploader has the grey blocking layer. The new one is the photo toolbar Icon.

  • device - iPhone, iPad using safari browser. Windows 10 PC using Chrome (edge was okay)
  • browser
  • skin (mobile/desktop)
  • style (lower left corner, should be FT Desktop NG or Mobile)

Desktop and mobile styles / skin did not make a difference. Tried both.

This is fixed when using mobile one on both PC Chrome and iOS iPhone/iPad.

However when using Desktop theme on PC Chrome as well as iOS Safari, the problem still exists.

On browsers where the problem still exists, be sure to flush cache.

I've found the problem. I use the "Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls". When I change to Full CKEditor, then the problem goes away.

The standard editor is unsupported. It will give you extra features and extra problems.

Unfortunately the ckeditor is unusable on iOS devices. Typing in the text entry box scrolls so that you can’t see the text you are typing.

Only yesterday I was able to post videos (mp4), but today I couldn't post a photo with preview. While in preview, now I see only the URL link (when working, it shows the photo itself).
Any suggestions?
