Re: Deleting or editing images
I was going to, but there are so many other options to try as well that I didn't bother. I think it's pretty clear that the main problem with deletions is that the plug-in goes awol when confronted by a space in the filename.
That probably stems from DOS days.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi phrontister;
The problems with deleting a post have happened to me even without spaces in filenames. Even without pictures. I thought it was firefox.
That is not exactly what you are doing but I always thought the two problems were related and were unique to me.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi Bobby,
Although I have Firefox I've never used it for forum posts, so I have no experience with it on that score. I used to use IE, but always GC now.
I saw what you said in post #46:
You must edit before you can delete.
I didn't know that...I'll have to try it some time.

Hi phrontister;
It is hard to test because you are not supposed to delete posts for no reason, unlike the images it affects totals and things.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Didn't Dev post and delete just to boost his post count? I think this is more helpfull thus more allowable. The action still needs the approval of a mod or an admin.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi all,
It seems that multiple images in a post are automatically sorted into ascending filename order, despite the selected Upload Slot order.
A specific left-to-right order can be achieved using ascending alphabetic or numeric prefixes for the filenames.
My first attempt with this post - where I hadn't used that tactic - positioned the images in the following order, even though I'd selected the last one in Upload Slot #1, the first one in Upload Slot #2 and the second one in Upload Slot #3:-
First image - "WHWGAWIGW-partial solution"
Second image - "WHWGAWIGW-solution.png"
Last image - "Who has which garden and what is grown where.png"
After I resubmitted my post with prefixes 2, 3 and 1 respectively, the images displayed in the correct order.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi MathsIsFun,
The option that existed previously of being able to insert an image into a post from the Edit page seems to have disappeared, and I can now only insert images into a new post.
I found the old way to be useful for replacing an existing image (eg, to update or correct it), which I could do by using the same file name as the original.
Is it possible to bring that feature back?

Not those images. Uploaded ones.
