why can't I upload a picture to a new posting?

[Strake]

I've never had an issue trying to upload a picture from my computer to a new post until now. Anyone else having an issue?

I normally chose to add a picture and say to chose where to upload from. Now, when I click on the button to choose which photo.... NOTHING happens. Tried it several times.

Any suggestions?

Worked for me right now. Might have just been a glitch. Try it again.

Have you tried the below linked thread, for I am posting pictures when very I am wanting, as in:

If that does not work, I would hard shut down and re-boot your computer and hopefully that will work.

Thanks John and Bob...... I've posted pictured MANY times before without issue. Just tried again and getting the same thing.... nothing happens when the window pops up and I click to "chose file". I've tried several times, as well as trying "Manage Attachments".

Perhaps a recent update on this MacBook Pro has set something off.

Try using a different web browser. Since you said Mac, try using Chrome or Firefox if you are using Safari. If the browser change works, then more than likely the hosting site made an update and missed testing or something with Safari.

I also tried uploading a pic by choosing to do it via a URL site after putting the pic on Shutterfly and still couldn't do it.

Never had an issue for the MANY times I've uploaded pics in the last couple of years.

I'm thinking that the update I did recently affected the ability to do so. I'm using a MacBook Pro with MOJAVE 10.14.6.

Anyone else having an issue?

If I click on the button of this thread that says " Upload Attachments" nothing happens at all.

If I do as I've done all the past times, choose the "image" button at the top tool bar on this thread, the pop up window show up that is "Image Properties". I've always used the second tab that says "upload " then chose the "chose file" button. I get nothing. Normally, that's when it opens up my computer and I select the photo I want and say to send to server. But nothing happens.

I really don't want to install a different browser, as I've used Safari for years without issue.

Strake - I've taken a look and there isn't a problem with VB/the site, so it's most likely on your end. I don't have any Apple products so i'm sorry I can't help you. Good luck.
( have you tried clearing the browser cache? or running whatever the mac equivalent of ccleaner is on your mac?)

[Strake]

^^^ Thanks for checking. I'll fool with it some more and check all my settings to make sure when I did the recent update, it didn't switch off the ability to upload pics.

thanks again,

Richard

[Strake]

Having the same issue with my MAC, got this error message

C608DD87-B3BE-4AA6-9D15-25967A842891.heic
Upload failed. You are not allowed to upload files with the extension heic.

[Strake]

TJA.... I'm not getting that error message. When I click the box to chose file, nothing happens. I did make sure the pic I'm attempting to upload has a .jpg extension.

[TJA467]

Interesting, all my pictures say save as .heic an my Mac for some reason. I have never has an issue in the past either.

HEIC is a new Mac system that is not yet widely supported. However, you can convert HEIC pictures to jpeg which our forum software loads easily all the time. Here is your conversion site:

Nothing has changed at MECF. MAC has just changed and why you two and perhaps others are just recently starting to have a picture loading issue. This was not an issue here until MAC did an upgrade a few days ago.

BTW it is not an “all of IOS” issue for I am continuing to use and I upload picture after picture from my iPad based IOS system as in:
