Does this link work?

It does indeed, Sunnybird! If you're going to post a link in one of the threads, I recommend saying where the link is going (here's a link to an interesting news story about osprey, or here's a link to a story from my local newspaper) - I'm generally reluctant to click links unless I know where they go, and I suspect I may not be the only one! :)

Thank you so much Judy B. I appreciate the support and information.

Judy B, I posted my Osprey link on Eagle Chatterer's Forum. From Sunday, right above the Eagle Cartoon by Nestfriend.
That cartoon is so clever. :) Thanks again.

I've seen comments from a couple of people who are having trouble posting attachments - so I'm trying one. This is a lovely sunset shot from Delta back in June.

The link isn't working for me, Sunnybird.

I am testing permissions and needed a post I could play with - this is my temporary "play" post. :) ~JudyB

Hi everyone! I've had reports of people having trouble with attachments - and of people being required to log in before they can submit a post they just made - so I'm going to try making some posts with and without attachments, editing posts, quoting posts and other things to see if I can figure out what needs fixing.

Added - that posted without my needing to sign in.

Added - and I could edit it without needing to sign in. I'm using Firefox on a Windows computer - and have had to sign in several times today, so it does sometimes affect me.

This post is hopefully going to start with one picture from a visit to our Surrey Reserve nest, placed inline.
20190123_003.jpg

That worked! I'm now editing the post to add this line.

That also worked - the picture is still there. I am now adding a second image, also inline, from the same visit.
20190123_002.jpg

That also worked - I'm now editing my post with two pictures.

So far so good - end of this test.

For the next test, I'm going to add a screenshot but not place it inline, so it will show up as an attachment at the bottom of the post.

That worked; I'm now editing the post to add this line of text. Clicking on the attachments link, I still see my file there.

And the picture was still there; I'm now adding another picture.

Both pictures showed up as expected; I'm now editing the post to see if that changes anything.

Still looks good! End of this test.
