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. 😁
NotHereToPlayGames Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago 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.

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]

I can paste into the editor, BUT IT DOES NOT POST THE IMAGE TO MSFN WHEN I SUBMIT THAT REPLY.

But that version of Chrome does work in XP, so maybe whatsup / watsap has an issue with XP and it's not the browser ???

This is an old thread, but this was *TRUE* with the last version of Supermiun that I tested - https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1674 Supermium isn't "as" ungoogled as OTHER ungoogled forks.
Dave-H Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago @NotHereToPlayGames That balloon picture was copied and pasted into the editor and seems to have posted fine. What actually happens when you try it? Does it not post at all, or does it post but without the image?

NotHereToPlayGames Posted 5 hours ago Author Posted 5 hours ago The image DOES NOT POST. Despite being displayed in the "editor". That it how I've posted screencaps my entire history of being a member. It hasn't worked (for me) since when xper cleared out a bunch of fake accounts and whatever else he did back whenever that was. March? April? It was when all of the Google results and "siamese" or whatever language was hacking the "google index" or whatever it is called. The pasting into the editor hasn't worked for me ever since.
Dave-H Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Hmm. I just tried pasting my image where your image should have been, and it seems to have worked! I'll need to consult xper about this.
