Can't add pictures?

Been trying to embed pictures since yesterday and I still haven't been able to do so. The progress bar that shows pictures being uploaded doesn't even show that it's finished, it simply goes right to the picture size selection. I select the size and the alignment and nothing. No picture. Posts come out blank.

So an update: I can embed pictures from URLs but not from my computer or from any of the pictures I have uploaded in the past.

Works for me. What browser are you on?

@airshocker:

Have you tried completing and submitting the post anyway, just to test it? Sometimes, the pictures appear in the results anyway.

@Gelugon_baat: I'll try it right now.

Apparently it does work. It just doesn't show the picture in the reply box?

@airshocker: No it doesn't but like Gelugon_baat said, it works anyway and I had the same problem but I ended up hitting the post button when I uploaded a pic. Remember that if it's not the right size pic or whatever, you still have time to edit and try again.

Upload it to a different website and drag and drop. You can also resize it however you please.

@airshocker:

Since it works, I am going to say here that I believe that this is the same issue which I faced when trying to make pictures appear in review articles.

When a picture is appended, it is actually appended in the post/article draft - but the post/article editor fails to show it, at least not immediately.

Now, let's see: do try to create another post with a picture in it. If it does not appear in the editor space, try writing some text, then delete that text and use the undo feature.

Whenever I do this, the editor somehow remembers that a picture has been appended and displays that picture.

@Brutal_Elitegs: That work-around is rather tedious. Also, ultimately, GameSpot just downloads the picture anyway and displays the copy instead of making an image display with URL links to other websites.

I don't see how it's tedious. The added flexibility you get in resizing the image is worth the extra 10 seconds it takes to upload it elsewhere.

The gif I posted above links to the site I uploaded it to, and there is no copy of it in my images.

Eh... Maybe I should have checked the URL of the GIF. Sorry.
