AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing inconsistent issues when posting images on Physics Forums, with some posts allowing images while others only display links. There is confusion regarding the current permissions for image posting across different forums, as inline images were previously restricted to the General Discussion forum. It appears that some users have successfully posted images in various sections, including math discussions, but not all forums support this feature uniformly. Specific forums, like the linear algebra forum, lack the necessary image posting icons, indicating a potential bug or oversight. Overall, the situation suggests a need for clarification and possible adjustments to the forum's image posting capabilities.

Posting images seems screwy. Sometimes I can post them. Sometimes I can't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this is.

For example, in this post i can post an image just fine. eg:

On the other hand, in this post it just shows up as a link:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=2123716

Is this a bug? Can someone please explain what's up?

In the past, inline images were allowed only in the General Discussion forum. It looks like it's been opened up a bit because I didn't know you could do it in this forum. I remember some discussion about allowing them in the homework forums, but I don't remember how that turned out.
 
I'm pretty sure I've posted images successfully in the math discussion forums before.
 
I thought it had been opened up to alll of the fourms.
 
Image tags are enabled in the general math forum, but for some reason not in the linear algebra forum. Note that there is no icon.
 
Hmm looks like you're right. Someone should fix that.
 
And for what it's worth: [noparse][/noparse] tags are enabled in the Blogs, but not in User Notes.
