Conversation photos

[dannler]

hey guys, just a quick question......

why in a normal thread can one upload i file straight from the computer/phone he/she is using

BUT

when in a conversation, one must upload the photo via a URL link..... why can the conversation uploading be the same as the uploading in a thread? it so much easier... or am i missing something?

Not sure why you are observing that @dannler
In a conversation - I can also upload directly from my computer

Here is what I see in one of my conversations
I just click on the button marked "Upload File"

 

[dannler]

i only have that option when im typing in a thread, but with private messages i dont have that option

 

[Silver]

Really strange @dannier
I have no clue why your editor is different.

Perhaps try log out of Ecigssa and log back in again with your username and password.

 

[dannler]

another example

 

[dannler]

i log in and out every time

 

[Silver]

Perhaps try logging out, then clearing your browser cache - then closing your browser - then open it and log back in again.

Also, what browser are you using?

If that doesnt work then I am out of ideas - will need one of the more technically minded Admins to offer their opinions.
@Alex, @Gizmo

im using google chrome

 

[Silver]

Me too @dannler
Sorry man, I have no idea how to help you resolve that.
Hang on - and hopefully someone else can give you an idea

Do me a favour if you wouldnt mind - when you are next at another PC setup - say at a friend - or at work - try it with a totally different browser etc - let us know if its still the same.

 

[dannler]

my phone, android is the same

 

[Riddle]

I've used Google Chrome before on the Forum as well and everything seemed fine. Maybe try @Silver suggestion. Hopefully that works

 

[dannler]

just tried it.... no luck hey

Do you have Adobe Flash installed?

 

[dannler]

yes i do, the latest

I also don't have that option with a private conversation. @Silver your screenshot doesnt seem to be a private conversation but the normal forum or am i seeing it wrong?

I think it may only be available for staff.

@kimbo I found out why you can upload in a PM: You are an Ecig Donor:

@dannler and @Matt, It's not allowed for registered users, it's a permission thing.

I can change it, but I'm not gonna, not without consulting the other admin guys first.

 

[dannler]

[Silver]

Cool @dannler
