Image posting errors
I recently posted an image to this post: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37674198-post1795.html. The AC admin has already cleaned it up, but suggested that I post here.
After the original post I could see the image when trying to edit it, but when posted the image just showed an error. I've tried to recreate it here.

Of course I can't repeat the error! Maybe there is something that you can use in the original post linked in the 1st file.
I was uploading a screenshot from Android from my W10 laptop using Firefox and a VPN.

For what it's worth, we had a recent instance in the Hyatt forum where a poster uploaded photos from an iPad/iPhone and the upload process apparently tried to add an ALT attribute on the IMG tag which doesn't seem to be supported by the forum software.

The issue here is that img alt text seems to get automatically inserted. In edit mode, the image will still show up. But when the post gets made, it won't.
Here's the code from the original post by painintheuk before I edited it (I've deliberately inserted a space before/after the open/close square brackets so the code will be visible): [ img alt="AC App fail
