User error? Seems more like a glitch in the forum software.

yourself and then the forum's software will be much less involved and you'll be able to see that it must be either the link is bad or the infoHere is a direct copy and paste from reply #6 of this thread and how I posted the picture of the helium dog. All I did was delete the first “[“ bracket so you can see what I did. I hit the picture icon and pasted the link between the middle two brackets. Worked perfectly on this one.

Worked just fine on that post, and every other post I’ve done in this thread with a meme. The ones that did not post this way, I saved to my phone and uploaded as an attachment. Every time, I would get the error message that attachments have to be less than 6MB and have one of the following formats. Last I checked 500-800 KB (file sizes I was trying to attach) was smaller than 6 MB. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Files I’ve tried attaching have been .gif .jpg and .png. According to the error message I keep getting, those file types are allowed. Again, correct me if I’m wrong.
My question is how can it be user error when my file sizes are smaller than the limit and the file types are the ones allowed, yet the error message I get says that my file is either to big or the wrong file type?
I’m not a newbie to forums or posting pictures on them. Been on forums for 15 years or more. I’ve been both a moderator and admin on a few of them so I know the software and how it works. This site has one of the oldest versions of any of them I am currently on. It severely needs an update. I get it tho, chances are, the Connie will not be around to many more years so the cost of upgrading is probably not worth it. Let’s not pretend that there is nothing wrong with the software and blame it on the user tho!
Trying it again. Sorry for the repeat if it actually posts this time...Code: [Select][img]http://[url=https://www.mememaker.net/api/bucket?path=static/img/memes/full/2020/Apr/8/17/2020-snickers-198.png]https://www.mememaker.net/api/bucket?path=static/img/memes/full/2020/Apr/8/17/2020-snickers-198.png[/url][/img]
Yes
Again, apologies about my earlier assumptions. I saw the following incorrect coding in your post and thought it was user error (excluding the "code" in brackets that I had to add
so it would show up here).
So you are saying that the forum software or your phone is adding all that other....extra stuff?
