This only happens with some images, large images most of time not.

Don't mind of cource, only good. But didn't know xenforo did this.

Most of these images upload themselves. Just copy from the list and paste in editor and it will upload

Just copy from the list

This is an important step. Hover your cursor over the image and copy, don't isolate the image first as we normally do.

Any ideas why this happens?

Are you copying the image or copying the url of the image?

 

[dutchbb]

copying the image, directly from the google image list.

Then that's doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

You're copying the image, e.g. the actual image data onto the clipboard and when we detect that being pasted, we take that image data and upload the attachment:



In Chrome, for example, you would click "Copy Image Address" instead, which would copy the URL.

It does not happen with all images strangly enough.

Hi Chris,

When I right-click and select "Copy Image" the pasted image will do two different things:

1) If I hover my cursor over one of these thumbs and copy the image, when pasted it becomes an attachment:



2) If I isolate the image an use the "Copy Image", then paste it it becomes a hot linked image using the [ IMG ] tags.



So the question is why does the same "Copy Image" command in my browser behave two different ways?

This one is not uploaded from the list.

And this one is. Depends on the pixels, larger images copied are not uploaded.
