Pictures Disappear

[YotaBota]

When a FB ad is posted with a picture, the picture will stay for a few seconds and the disappear leaving the link. I don't know if this is a bug or a procedural error in how it is posted. It may be other posts as well but it's most noticeable on the FB posts.

The rubber floor mat ad that @Dan Dubeau is an example.

Does this happen with others or am I special?

You're special...
No, it's part of the ongoing image issue we have.

Happens to me too. But not always. Just sometimes.

Gunna try a few tests right now.

Well that was a big fart in the wind.... Gunna have to ask @Dan Dubeau how he posted that Facebook link. Dan?

I save the images from facebook onto my desktop, then I use the attach files button at the bottom of the dialog box, and click insert "full image".

I generally use the "thumbnail" option instead of full image. It takes less space to display and still leaves the full image available for download.

I'm adding a link to Dan's Original Post here for ease of reference.

@Dan Dubeau - if it's not too much trouble, could I get you to try that original Facebook link again in this thread? Maybe try it two ways - one with thumbnail and one with full image.

I'm not about to promise a fix (we basically gave up on that) but if we can find workarounds it would be a good thing.

My regular way

 

[Dan Dubeau]

"insert image" way on top toolbar

 

[Dan Dubeau]

"Insert thumbnail"

My summary of @Dan Dubeau's posts above. Only the thumbnail method worked.

Is this problem getting worse @David?

I use copy and paste...

Hard to say. I haven’t noticed it happening more.

 

[Susquatch]

Just doing a regular copy and paste here (on my phone) like @YYCHM does.

Still had to choose a thumbnail.

 

[YotaBota]

Like @YYCHM, I normally just do a copy/paste of the image from the ad be it FB or any other site.

On iPhone or MBA, select (right click on MBA or PC) image and save to "Photos," then use the little picture thingie (between the link symbol & Smilie Face in the edit bar) to upload where I want it I then grab one of the "handles" and shrink the photo so it takes up less territory.
