I get to post maybe a few, but then it just wonks out and won't let me post any more. I normally cut and paste straight into this field without clicking the pic icon, but when that didn't work, I clicked the Insert Image icon and still...nothing.

Is it on my end, or yours? Anyone else having this problem?
 
I'll reboot. See if that helps.
 
Rebooted..same prob. I can plaste the link but not the pic itself.

I tried it on a couple of other message boards and no problem so....is there a glitch?

I do not have that problem, but have had different ones using different machines.

Here is a picture of a waterfall. I clicked on the picture in Google...clicked "copy address"...pasted it in DP with
after it...and here it is.

Why not give that a try.

I did. The cursor just sat there and did nothing.

So, I guess it is a hit and miss sorta thing. I can live with it, but I thought I would ask if anyone else was having an issue with it.

wait a sec. I think I clicked COPY IMAGE and tried it that way and it didn't work. Let me experiment and try ADDRESS.
 
This one is Copy Image...not usingDP Image box.

And now it works.


Which is what I have always done, but after 3 or 4 pics...it stops accepting it. Cursor just blinks, nothing there when I click PASTE.

Now I will try the Copy Image and use the DP box as well:

nothing. Just a blinking cursor.


One more time using Copy ImageAddress with no DP icon used

I have stopped using the DP "insert image" box, because I get too many refusals to post it that way.

I click on Image Address (make sure it is the short form of the IA) and then paste it in the response box and add the img thing in block parens.

Not sure why the "Insert Image" function works so infrequently, but it seldom works for me...so I take the longer route.
 
I will try it that way. Thank you for the help. :)

Above is the image address (or the image url) of a picture hosted on the web.

(To obtain the image address → right-click on any displayed web image and then click → Copy image address)

Bracketing the above image address with the appropriate BBcode for displaying an image at Debate Politics
yields this:

I always hand-code my posts. Everything works then as it should.

A helpful page listing the many (Bulletin Board) BBcode bracket tags utilized on Debate Politics is found at:
