Message Editor Interface settings?

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Hanno

I tried to duplicate this yesterday using different settings and different methods of inserting or copying images into message. Tried three different times and several different methods and crashed the reply window each time. The MLU server would go off into never never land and not return as soon as I hit preview post until I opened a new browser window. Check the connection speed at my end and checked access to other sites no problem.

The system seem not to like having different methods inserting images used in the same message.

Cheers Phil

Interestingly, the HMVF forum uses the same software as we do and they have the possibility to choose between the option where photos are attached, or when using the "Enhanced Interface", to attach and then insert pictures into your text.

This is what Tony and a few other members unwittingly do here, but which I cannot replicate

Howard,

In this thread 1937 maple leaf for sale I can see you can do the same "trick" as Tony.

Could you please elaborate on your settings?

Thanks,
Hanno

OK after a bit of mucking around, I have found this.
If I "post reply" to this thread we are actually looking at now, my interface looks like this:
editor 3.jpg
So images are attached using the (paperclip) "Attachments" button.
However, on SOME threads when I hit the "Post Reply" I get a slightly different interface, thus:
editor 2.jpg
This one has an additional button, the "Insert Image" button where I can link to an image on another web site such as Photobucket or even Shedfull. But this button does not appear when I reply to some threads, this one we are reading now, for example.

Now, I have managed to create a post with both the styles of attachments. I assure you, this was not planned!
Interestingly, all 4 attachments were uploaded using the same method. However, the one shown in the "Attachments" box at the base of the post was the only one not posted in the composition of my post. ( Gawd, this is sounding complicated, doesn't it?! I am sure it isn't as complicated as I am making it sound...)
