I have also been having this problem since one month in hotel reviews. I seem to be able to add them in other posts but not in hotel reviews. I tried turning off the infinite scrolling that was causing issues in other areas, but that did not resolve the issue.

The photo posting to hotel reviews seem to be working again for me. It works slightly differently than before, but is functioning.

why does it do the thing where you can only upload a batch and not move them? this is another terrible experience.

I still can't upload normal size photo as everything is being compacted to the size of a thumbnail.
Below the post table I see this:

Why IMG and HTML code is off??

HTML is off because when it's on, people can set-up page hijacks in their posts. BB Code functions very similarly, but is much less of a security threat.

From your recent posts, it looks like you're uploading from Flickr and something they use is interacting with our site unexpectedly. I would encourage you to try uploading a test image from your computer or from another site.

Are there any plans to allow users to post images by pasting screencaps or image files? This is would be much more convenient than going through the upload routine; many websites have been on the program for several years already.

You can drag and drop direclty into a post. Is that what you mean?

But there are not any plans to change the uploader at this time. The biggest reason we actually developed it was because people would copy/paste or attach photos from elsewhere, then that site would change its policy or delete the photo and they'd disappear and everyne would be confused

No. I mean copy and paste directly into the message body (like you can do with most web-based email systems or messaging apps).

I never thought about the copy/paste from other sites issue. I'm a fan of screenshots myself (unless I'm aiming for super high resolution) because the drill is super fast (as long as you don't need to save them to a local folder and upload them).

Thanks for the answers. However, I've tried uploading the photo directly and it was automatically resized as well.

Trying again directly from the device

I copy/paste regularly from Hyatt press releases and that works. Have done so since years.

Why no support for HEIC images?

Actually we talked about this in the inter-vertical community meeting this week and the feature looks to be coming in a future releae (I believe this year)
