0 Albert Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'll take a look. If you can give me an example of an image link that doesn't work, that would be helpful. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 carlsson Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yes, on your previous post it is only a link to an image but when I copied and pasted it, the editor embedded for me, though not instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Turbo-Torch Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hmmm I can use firefox and use insert image from url and it now works (used preview). When I try the same in Opera, the link box still turns purple and nothing happens. Must be an Opera issue. I thought in the past I was able to type a link in the message body and it automatically posted as a photo if it ended in something like jpg.

0 Albert Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 This is a test: Works for me in Firefox. I haven't tried Opera in many years now. Do you have Javascript disabled in Opera? If so, the embedding definitely won't work (lots of other things would be broken as well). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Turbo-Torch Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 It's working fine under firefox now. ? It just took a while for the link to turn into the photo, as Anders mentioned. I'll have to dig into Opera settings more. After 15 years of Firefox, I recently switched and don't want to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo-Torch
I used to be able to just put in a link to my server storage space and the photo would appear. Now it just shows the link when posted.
Also tried insert post from url tab (from insert other media) and the link box turns purple when I enter the url and nothing else happens.
I use Opera browser, but Firefox does the same.
If I go old school with the img /img in [ ] the photos post fine.
