It shows up for me. Is it missing in one forum or all of them?

Is anyone else having trouble posting pictures or is it just me?

GTJIM · 01-17-2008

I am a long way away ... and just posted a couple no probs.

Are you trying to add pics to a new thread or Editing one to add more pics?
If the latter - then you need to click the 'Go Advanced' button to add pics to a thread you are editing. That makes the 'Manage Attachments' appear.

Only took me 2 years to find that ..... !!

Have you tried just left clicking the mouse with the cursor arrow placed where the 'Manage Attachments' button should be - even if you cannot see it? Directly below the word "extensions".

bigben had posted these to other threads, so I split them off. He may not have realized that, so I just PM'd him the link to this thread

Thanks Keith, I hadn't relized that the thread had been split off. I thought that my original post from last night had gotten lost in Cyberspace and not actually posted.

bigben · 01-17-2008

Even if I hit the Go Advanced button, I still don't get the manage attachments button. I've tried it on a couple of different forums but maybe it's just me since others don't seem to be having the problem. Here is what I get.

Ben, I just double checked on the reply screen and you may have to scroll down a bit to get the manage attachments button. Could be your screen is a bit smaller than mine and you don't have the page large enuff to show the button. HTH.

What browser are you using?

GTJIM · 01-18-2008

Gary, I am using Windows Explorer 6 with latest upgrades - it works in that app.

...and with IE7.0 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11.

bigben · 01-18-2008

Haha!! thanks guys! I got it fixed. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox2.0 and voila, the button reappeared. It must have been some problem with the version of Internet Explorer I was running. The odd thing is it had been working before. Maybe something got corrupted. I can start posting updated pics of my project again.
