No, pasting into the reply editor NO LONGER WORKS.  It used to.  For many years.  Just paste the contents of a "print screen" or clipboard directly into the reply editor.

It no longer works, *forcing* us to use "file hosting service BS" instead.

I don't know. I've always just browsed for my image files, added them to the attachments on the post, and inserted them into the post. You should be able to drag and drop too, but I've never tried pasting directly from the clipboard.
I'm not at home at the moment, but I will try it when I get back to my desktop machine again.
I know some members have restrictions on the number of attachments they can store, maybe you need to delete some old ones.
I can't remember what the restriction is, and I don't now have one as I'm a moderator.

It is not the restriction or profile storage space.

It's the "editor" that MSFN uses.  It **CHANGED** recently.  Ever since the time span where xper had to manually delete "fake profiles" and whatever else was done at the time.

In this "editor" that I type this very message in, you **USED TO** be able to **PASTE** a screencap from the OS's "clipboard".

You **USED TO** be able to **PASTE** jpg/bmp/etc just by TYPING in this "editor" box and doing a "ctrl-v" from *ANY* image editor whereupon the "ctrl-c" was done from within that image editor.

 

NOW, the *only* way to post images is to use a hosting service or link to an image via "Other Media".

It didn't *USED TO* be that way, we could just PASTE into the "reply editor".

OK, I have now tried it on my netbook, using Supermium 144.
I'm sure my desktop at home will be the same.
It seems to work for me.
I opened my image viewer (xnview classic), opened an image, right clicked and selected 'copy'.
I then opened this reply, right-clicked, and selected 'paste'.
The image appeared as an attachment and was inserted into the post.
The keyboard shortcuts also worked.
So, I don't know why it's not working for you I'm afraid.

This is off-topic here of course, perhaps if you can't resolve it you could report it in the site issues section.

Technically, *ALL* Chrome/Chromium browsers can be made PORTABLE.  Just use a "loader" or "Chrome++".

And *never* (my opinion!) use any "installer".  None needed.  Just use 7Zip (or similar) to extract the contents of mini_installer.exe for 32bit or min_installer_x64.exe for 64bit.

Same goes for the ungoogled versions, just extract using 7Zip (or similar).

Chrome++ is found here:  https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus/releases (I use v1.11.1 because of preference on older method for [RunAfter] not popping up a visible command prompt).

I wrote that there is no portable one, but of course I immediately unpacked ungoogled-chromium_150.0.7871.46-1.1_installer_x86.exe

- unfortunately, web watsap does not work even with this version of chrome...

so... supermium for web whatsup, . [and serpent55/mypal68 for xp; that's all]
