Has attaching an image changed?

In summary, the user has difficulty finding the "add attachment" button and thinks something has changed about how images are attached. There are 4 big buttons with different labels near the bottom of the reply window. After uploading the image, the user has the option to display it at full-width.

I can't seem to find out how to attach an image anymore. I've done it many times in the past (months ago) but now I can't find the 'add attachment' button. Has something changed about the way you are supposed to attach images?

(Side note that might be related: What is the "whiteboard"? It doesn't load for me.)

It's the little picture that looks like a portrait of mountains or something in between the smilies and the reel strip. Almost didn't recognize you since you changed your picture haha.

I saw this but it asks for a URL, so we need to upload the image to a website first?

And yeah, I think Feynman got enough face time :)

Oh, click the upload at the bottom, and you can browse from there. ;)

That's the problem: I used to do this but now I can't find the upload button. I might have gone blind but I really can't find it anymore o0)

Below the reply text window, there are 4 big buttons, labeled "POST REPLY" "PREVIEW..." "UPLOAD" "WHITEBOARD"

Do you have all 4 of those buttons, or fewer?

BTW, after uploading you have an option to display the uploaded image at full-width in the post. That's a nice feature improvement over the old forum software, IMO. :smile:

Hahahah

But it wasn't there before... I know it wasn't because I thought it should be there so I checked those buttons. (That's why I asked about whiteboard.)
Somehow it's there now... I sound like a crazy person but it honestly wasn't there... ?:) Maybe I am crazy

edit:
Another small detail is different now too... Greg must be pranking me :rolleyes:

You inspired me. King has been with me since the beginning. It might change again here soon. I'm not sure what to go with. Obviously something metal, though.

I think this one's going to stay.

@berkeman: Somehow I didn't see your #6 or #7 the first time around. This happened a couple times with HallsOfIvy's posts in two different threads. It might just be my fault, but it's kind of hard to miss two consecutive replies. (Then again, I am crazy, sooo...)
