Are you adding the images from a URL? Something like this
If so, it’s likely not copying the whole URL. If not, just let me know any additional information you have, and we can look at it.
well…I’ve noticed that wiperhunter has a habit of editing people’s posts and removing the pictures. The OP’s question is exactly what happened on the thread that I posted a pic – and then I got notice from wiperhunter saying that I posted a pic using a method that wasn’t allowed, and he removed the pic – which resulted in what piscophilic described above…
I have had intermittent problems with posting pics. At one point there was not the prompt below a new post to allow inserting images. That has since been fixed.
Another possibility is what browser you are using. I know there are some differences in what shows up for both posting and editing a post between some browsers. Some will not even allow you to choose between fonts or colors. I use Firefox whenever posting or editing on BFT because it offers the greatest range of options. I hate Edge & Chrome.
I see everything just fine and never see ads. Probably because I don’t use Windows or MAC or a phone.
I’d help you if I could.
It isn’t you or your equipment, then. The issue is with BYU. Some schools, libraries, and businesses block access to any website that has anything they consider objectionable. Like hunting, fishing, or anything to do with those horrible guns. I won’t go political, but you know what I’m getting at.
Don’t be surprised if you are now on a list for even trying to access one of the forbidden fruits.
LOL, I definitely understand what your getting at. I guess if they get really stinky about it, I’d just have to retire 
About 2 weeks ago I stopped seeing photos imbedded in posts or added on at the end.
Instead of a small image like I used to see, I just get links.
When I click on them, the “Post Image” window opens and I get to see all the adds around a blank window where the image should be.
Can anyone help with that?
Thanks!
