    Kathryn, this is how I've been posting links, in this how-to here. This method still works (at least for me, I just did it there <-----) and it allows you to either post the whole link, or shortcut a single word or sentence of text (as I did) into the link.

    Does this help you?

      All I know is Jerod P Broussard is not gonna be happy if he has to crop photos to post. Jerod Broussard is fine with it.

        After posting the above comment (I have since deleted it) and starting to post this one, the old available icons came back: Click image for larger version

        I didn't clear the browser cache.

        Huskee , I've always used that method to post links. But all day today, this is what was showing in the text icon box:

        Click image for larger version

Name:	Available text icons using Mozilla browser with NoScript.JPG
Views:	130

        There was no link icon available, and the unlink icon worked to reduce the indent.

        I did not empty the browser cache, but I did restart my computer and had the same thing.

        Then just now, when I went to write a new post, the old icon display came up and the Image icon works for uploading photos.

        I'm not sure what happened, but as long as I continue to get this latest display, which is what I've always seen until earlier today, I'm happy.

          We blame that kinda thing on &quot;the gnomes&quot; Glad it's back and working for you. There was another way to post links that wasn't very intuitive, hence me asking if you were aware of this method.

        The bug you experienced was due to the browser cache not being cleared. I was reporting a similar issue to IT and they told me to clear my cache. Worked like a champ.

          fzxdoc are you good now? Based on a comment on page 3 sounds like everything's sorted out. If it's not, please give us a summary post of your current issues.

          One thing I noticed about pics. When you put in your first picture, it goes to the bottom. Second pic goes on top and third goes on top of that. It's sorta backwards. Say I post a pic of starting the pit, then show the meat on the fire, then a pic of the finished product. When I post in that order, it show the finished product then the meat on the fire then picture of starting the pit. Any thing we can do about that? Or do I just have to work backwards? I'm using my mobile device

            How are you uploading your pics? When you use the upload attachments icon you have to pick where each pic gets inserted, and how large the pic should display, so it's up to you the order they go in. Check out these helpful tips for posting pics.

              Okay I usual write something then post pics instead of inserting during the writing. Look at my post earlier this morning and you will see what happened to them. I'll give that a try. Thanks

                Yeah those pics were posted using the camera icon, which is now disabled. Once you get used to the upload attachments method I think you'll like it a whole lot more. Pics go where you want them and display in the size you choose.

                  David Parrish, Huskee, fuzzydaddy, fzxdoc, Thanks for the Info on Pic Posting, I had kind of figured it out except earlier I posted a Pic that Smeared all
                  over fuzzydaddy? Perhaps a Tips and Techniques Section would be in order? Take a lot of the load off The Boss, Huskee is still Young I don't care if he's

                  Regarding the picture upload error that Jerod mentions in post #21 above, the same happens on my PC. Any fresh unedited pic will not upload from my PC, it gets the same message Jerod shows. If I make an edit, even a teeny tiny crop, and resave, it uploads fine.

                  Last night's burger pic: original attempt got the error. Made a very tiny crop, and now it uploads. Both native file and edited file are 1.x MB in size.

                  Cooking shot: native file 5+MB, same with edited cropped file. But only the cropped one uploads. No other edits.

                  This message pops up every once in awhile at the top of the page when I am on the main page of The Pit:

                  Warning: Illegal string offset 'view' in /srv/www/pitmaster.amazingribs.com/includes/vb5/template.php(324) : eval()'d code on line 26

                  It doesn't seem to have an adverse affect on anything, but then again, what do I know?

                    I get that once in a while too, for about 1-2 seconds then it disappears.
