Can't attach images?

Post by Robin B Mc »

I'm trying to attach an image for handwriting/translation help but when I click on "add files" and select an image to add, nothing happens. If I try to drag and drop like it says, nothing happens. I noticed the forum seems to have had an update - I didn't have problems attaching images before the update but now I am. Am I the only one? I'm using Chrome.

I wasn't able to attach an image either, using Chrome.
Grazie,

I wonder if it works with other browsers - but I can't be bothered testing it. In any case, I found a way around it by linking to the image on my ancestry.com tree.

I tried IE and still didn't work. Then I tried changing computers and still didn't work. I tried PC vs. MAC and still didn't work. I will try what you did and link to my tree on ancestry.com.

You'll have to get the URL of the image, don't just link to the tree - open the full image on your tree and then in Chrome, right click it and choose "copy image URL".
