upload tool blocking photos
I've uploaded many photos over the years, multiple photos/post several times. No issues until this past week. The upload tool, accessed via the "mountain and moon" icon or via "go advanced" and "manage attachments" tool has suddenly started failing. I can upload one photo then when I try to drag the next photo into the tool it just opens the photo (like its opening a pdf file) and stops. I cannot back out nor cancel. I have to kill the post. I've been lucky to start again and restore saved content but the upload tool still will not allow a second nor third photo. The fault persisted if I logged out and logged back in. It persisted if I tried creating the reply post again from scratch. It worked OK the next day. Today, I quit, closed the window for several hours, logged back in and tried again. But just one photo
It took me several days to upload 4 photos to complete a repair thread.
Please advise.

It’s been freezing on me the last couple of days. Even the Cancel option stops working. I have to exit the forum completely then come back to get any functionality.

That’s my experience. Except it does not improve if I log out then right back in. I’ve had to wait some unknown number of hours. Ugh.

Can you try to post some photos again? It may be an issue that was related to all of the firefox issues people were experiencing. Tech turned something off to fix all of that, so I want to see if it also fixed your problem. If it still does not work, can you please clear all of your cache for the site?
