Chiloquinruss Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have posted here many times. Today I went to post and it will let me post text. I can even go back in after posting and edit. What I can't do today is post a pix url. The dialogue comes up, I can paste in the pix url, but the buttons on the dialogue are dead! Weird. Thanks in advance. Russ Hmmmm, just tried to paste in the url here and I can't paste here! Just tried pasting into MS Word with the same url, it works, but can't paste here. Tried pasting to the 'code' button dialogue here and it works. See below. Hmmmmmm. http://hobby-tronics.lenzus.com/content/21775739/r/s_13326463.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonR Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Try flipping this switch, it worked for me Don R Fab4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yah, I think Don's right. The switch in the upper left corner is probably what's tripping you up. You're in BB Edit mode, which allows you to edit your BB code. Click the switch and your buttons will come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiloquinruss Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I really appreciate the help. The toggling the switch does not seem to work on my machine. When I click that upper left hand switch, my post changes to 'courier' text like when using notepad. I can toggle that switch back and forth, but nether setting lets me correctly activate and use the 'image' dialogue. When in the 'text' mode the buttons are greyed out, when in the 'edit' mode, the button does not work. Russ Ok I can pull an image down from the 'my media' button!

Scrolling Steve Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Wow, I would kill for that shop!.....Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiloquinruss Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thank you. A life long dream that has been way more than I ever imagined it could be. My past life was all computers and very little hand skills. The shop has a some hand tools but most are cnc, laser, 3d, etc. It's 40x50 and only 25 feet to great fishing too! Thanks again.

Chiloquinruss Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I'm trying this from a machine at the train club and it seems to work OK. So it has to be something on my home machine and its configuration. Thanks for the pointers. I will continue to work on this until it's fixed! Russ My shop on the river and posted as it used to post on my home machine! Hmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for the section to attach an image? If so, in the lower right corner of your post box, click the More Reply Options. This will give you the option to upload an image or attachment.

Chiloquinruss Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 OK I'll try and get a couple of screen captures and then work my way back to here to post the issue. Standby! Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiloquinruss Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 OK here is the scheme of things: 1. First I click on the button on the bottom right that gives you the expanded options. 2. Then I click on the 'image' button and this dialogue appears. 3. Then I paste in the link data to my online pix I want to add to my post as follows: 4. At this point it hangs and nothing happens. So I try and 'x' out or cancel and get. 5. from that point I have no control and reload the forum. BTW the images in this post were first uploaded to my 'gallery' here and then while making this post I used the 'My Media' button shown on the top row.

Travis Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hmmm. It seems to work for me. Those tools require Java to work. But you would have to have that working in order to post to your gallery too. So I don't think it's that. Which web browser are you using?

Chiloquinruss Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) It must be a java based issue. I have IE11 and Chrome on the home machine and that is the one that is not working correctly from either browser. It works fine on the machine at work, that also has IE11 and Chrome and works good from either. Thanks for the heads up on java. I will download the current goodies and see what kinds of trouble that brings! Anyhow thanks for the assistance.

Chiloquinruss Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well that wasn't it. I downloaded the latest IE 11 and Java, reinstalled and no joy! Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Have you tried Chrome or Firefox on your home machine? I think someone ran into troubles with Internet Explorer a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiloquinruss Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 OK it appears it has something to do with the 'paste' buffer on my home machine and this forum. I have emailed IP Board to see if they could help guide me to a solution. Ctrl V doesn't work. Right click and select paste doesn't work either. I have no issues anywhere else on the net. I have been doing desktops since the old Commodore Pet days so when I say I'm stumped on this one, believe it! Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ahh. OK. Yes, there's a problem with Cut/Paste with Internet Explorer. Here's a thread that talks about that. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/20154-copy-and-paste/ We also have a workaround in that thread that might help.
