Josh/Mods,

I noticed the other day the site was down for a bit. I forget what reasoning the prompt gave but it probably mentioned upgrading or fixing something.

I just noticed today that I'm no longer able to attach/upload photos in a post. Did that feature get removed during that down time?

I use the web browser on my android for TFO. If I wanted to reply to Mr.Bob's thread and attach a photo: I'd type my text in the quick reply box then select a small grey tab that said "upload a file". A black mini window popped up and I selected an image from my phone. It was uploaded and then I could insert it directly into the reply post as a full image.
All of that is gone.

Also, when viewing other threads/posts with attached photos I no longer see the small thumbnail as a picture preview. It now shows a thumbnail of what looks like a lined piece of paper.

Are these intentional changes or errors?

Thanks in advance for looking into it and sharing an answer.

(Oh! I just noticed as I'm about to hit the green "create thread" tab.. The grey "upload a file tab" is there! So apparently I see it when creating a thread but not when replying to anothers thread I guess..?..)

Ok...It worked. Whaaat?

I promise I wasn't making that up! I tried on 2 different threads to attach a photo and couldn't find it!

I'm going to go try on the other thread again....

Ok..went to the other thread and the "upload a file tab" isn't there. Since it IS here, I'll upload a screen shot of what I see.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The threads in the 'For Sale' section may have that option restricted (Adoptions is a subforum of For Sale). My test account does not have the upload button on any of the several threads I checked in that area. And this was on a desktop.
