I was able to upload a photo without any issues but didn't actually post it in a thread. If you are the only one experiencing problems, have you tried clearing your cookies? Sometimes a corrupt cookie can cause issues.

nikonpup and Roy1961, I let jdeg know about your upload issues when I contacted him about a different forum issue - with this being Memorial Day weekend, it might be a while. He is aware of something else going on with the forum which might factor into your upload issue. I know the forum has been slow for me at times, and whatever is going on might be the reason.

​​​​â​ 5/30/2021 still not able to insert image.

Have you cleared your lately cookies, Ron?

If you are using Chrome, there is an extension called Cookie AutoDelete that will delete cookies from just the website you are looking at - but it also offers clearing cookies from all domains. Plus if you choose to clean everything for the Nikonites domain, you can also clear the cache for this site. I've found it to be helpful for several sites such as Facebook when I run into problems with just one site. That way I don't have to clear all the cookies for every website like happens when using the browser's Clear Browsing History tool.

I still encounter the †but it only happens when I do certain types of editing within my post. That's a more global issue here.

I've always had the same ad-blocker active but only recently had this problem coupled with the site loading very slowly. I can't see that being the problem but will try it.

Yeah, me too... until no matter what I tried, I couldn't upload a file, under any circumstance. Turned off the adblocker+ and I can post fine now. I was about to quit coming here.

The Admin is aware of something going on in the background - which most likely is the cause of the forum being slow. He seems to know what it is but has to work on it. I've encountered the snail's pace as well myself.

Moderators: any idea if or when we might see the forum software updated? That's ultimately the main thing that's going to clear all these problems.
