    Ever since I have been a member of the forum I was able to just drag and drop photos to the thread and it would upload automatically now that no longer works. I am using Fire Fox it that makes any difference. Any hints??

    I can't help you with Fire Fox, as I use Chrome. Having said that, I never tried drag and drop, although it theoretically should work.

    The upload_2017-7-10_20-1-13.png works intermittenly for me, so I just copy and paste, as I did with the example.

    For that, I wouldn't think the browser would make a difference. I usually drag and drop, but I have a Mac and use Safari. Does it work when you use UPLOAD A FILE?

    I've been trying but I don't know how to explain it. I couldn't drop and drag anything into this forum like a photo from my personal foto album on my computer but i can click onto your avatar and drag it into my computer foto album and use it wherever I choose, for instance ass my own avatar. I dragged your avatar into my photo album and made it my own avatar. That's drag and drop but it doesn't work the same way with all computers. Perhaps the boss here can explain it to us.

    I dragged and dropped it, And now have reversed it in answer to a question I thought you asked and said further, I think , the administrator here could explain drag and droop better. Again, apologies.

    I will go now and stand in the corner while you all publicly chastise and ridicule me for being a bad boy. Somebody please tell Frank I said I was sorry.

    Hopefully I can tell you how to drag and drop You high light a file/picture with the mouse hold down the mouse button while holding it down moving the mouse to where you want it to be. letting up on the mouse button it should stay there. This is also a fast way to copy or cut and paste
