I don't seem to be able o post pics anymore? I use the same method as I've always done on my IPad. Copy and paste the link from Photobucket. Everyone I go to paste the pic, there is no paste button. Also I don't seem to have a cursor either !!!!

Can't think of any reason why you can't. If you tap the reply window once, you should get the option to paste. There is no specific paste button on the editor.

The only change that could have affected was the site upgrade a month ago, but I'm sure you have posted pictures since then...

Ok, you can post Gary but I can't? Might try a reset or something and see what happens.

Hi, was just trying as many combinations as I can... Bloody frustrating. Just going to try it as a test user, just in case it's a permission issue.

I can't make any sense of it either. Been through your account settings, tested as many combinations as I can think of. I'm pretty sure that if I were to use your account on my iPad it would work.

Still thinking on this one....

Could it be anything to do with the page styles? I have noticed when using the dark style theme sometimes pasted text is not automatically changed to white text? The text is there but cannot see it.

Brian, this button

removes the formatting from any pasted text.

Would be useful to know whether you use the Light or Dark style @Macca

I have tried every combination I can think of. It is definitely only this site I cannot post pics on using my "usual" method. This seemed to have happened after the "attack" on the site!

For clarity the attack was on the server, not the forum which is a component part of the website. They didn't get in, as all the server software is fully patched and up to date. It was aimed at the home page (not the forum), which uses a system called WordPress. The only issue would be slowness and errors caused by vast amount of traffic being directed at the site - way more than the server is spec'd for.

I have just sent you the login details for the testuser for you to try, and some other questions.
