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.

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).

I wish I could help more. The fact that this is not a widely-reported issue, and that I was able to upload your exact photos with no problem, points to something on your end, but I'll be darned if I know what it is.

I don't think it's the specific files, it's any image file. I had no issues uploading and posting a pdf file, but the difference is that those aren't shown in the post, they are shown as a link in posts.
I've also tried disabling all extensions in chrome, but it made no difference. Something is blocking the communication between the upload window/process and the edit post window/process. Of course it's impossible to diagnose it because there's no messages or log of what's happening as far as I can tell.

Hi all,
I'm trying to upload a cover photos in my profile, but it didn't work at all. I have a picture of AA 777-300ER aircraft. Can you please fix it for me? Thanks!

What's the error?
Can you screen shot it?
Also at what point does the error occur?
Are you creating the review using the review site, or just using the NEW HOTEL REVIEW button in the forums?
Also it could help to know what device and browser you're using.
Thank you!

"I am trying to create a new Expert Review in the Marriott Bonvoy forum in a thread for Ritz-carlton Bacara Santa Barbara. I used POST A NEW REVIEW to start the process as usual. The error occurs as soon as I try to ADD A PHOTO in that review. Any photo so far as I can tell.
I know @FlyerEC was having trouble adding a photo to her review a day or so ago A link to her post and described error: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31074264-post168.html
I am using MacBook Pro. Using Chrome as browser."

I just emailed P O'Brien about this issue too, FWIW.

I'm Paul O'Brien, FYI! Got your emails, but it's better to resolve it here so anyone else having the issue can see it too.
Could you do me a favor and clear your browser cache and FT cookies, log back in and try again? This is an error I have never seen before and it has me stumped!
