I pasted straight in to the reply box, try that and see if it helps

Yes! Me! I haven't been able to upload images or vids for a while!
I was able to post one of my own videos using the "Add Attachments" at the bottom right of the "post reply" box

That's your own vid though Moons.
To VIP or not to VIP, that is the question answer.

Ahh right, fair enough. I admit I haven't tried anything but my own

But Fluffs, I cancelled my VIP a few months ago....I can't afford it being out of work you see and yet I was still able to post images in a birthday fred

They are both VIPs ....and even without being a VIP I was able to post smileys
Only Moonie is, from what I can see, that's why he was able to post his video.
You should be able to post smileys and stuff from other internet sites, but if it's images or videos from your computer, you can't do it directly unless you are a vip. However you CAN post them via a photo hosting site like photobucket, TinyPic, flikr etc.

You should only get that not allowed message if you are trying to post an image from your computer, images on the web should be fine.
There are 3 ways to post pictures as described in my second post on the first page of this thread:
To insert an image either drag a picture from the site where the picture is and drop it in the Add Reply box, or copy the picture and paste it, or use the Insert/Edit Image icon and paste the link to the picture.
Just copying the link and pasting it direct into the add reply editor screen won't work.
The go to First unread link is a bit hit and miss.. half the time takes me to the first unread from ages back not the newest ones.
Not urgent but thought I'd mention it anyway
Don't like that the enter button takes me down a paragraph with just one hit .. am always used to doing double enter for a new paragraph in any other typing format so have to back up again every time. Double enter is the norm for a new paragraph everywhere else
I'm in agreement with Olly about this. A single press of entre should be for a new LINE and 'something more than just a single enter' should be reserved for 'something more than just a new line'.

Olly, I found that the first time I logged out and then logged in again that the first unread link did take me to the begnning of a thread even though that was wrong but that it worked properly on subsequent log outs and log ins.
According to Brian Lenz, the shift enter for a new line and enter for a new paragraph is normal nowadays - https://www.socialstrata.com/s...5#428161926787748845
Moonie posted:El, when you click/tap *Take Action* the first option is *Report Reply*
Is there any chance of getting it moved to last option as I and a few others have nearly *reported posts* by accident
That's not one which I can answer though Lori may be able to. I suspect it's not possible as it would have been implemented like that across all of Hoopla's forums.
You could make a suggestion about this on the Social Strata site: https://www.socialstrata.com/support/topics/hoopla

Okay El, ta muchly
I suppose, a few days on, my main gripe is that roughly only a third of the screen is devoted to the thread itself. [ That's the important bit - we come here to communicate ] .The ratio of central text and margin / extraneous guff needs tweaked, if possible [ please].
While I'm grateful for the hard work and effort that's gone in nevertheless I'm hoping for a Windows 8 scenario ? Meaning that feedback could eventually lead to a [at least partial ] return to the older, better way of doing things.

I never log out.. . so that isn't why first unread reply is hit or miss in my case...
Double enter/carriage return has always been a new paragraph since the days of typing classes.. shift and enter is not the norm on any other program I or anyone else uses.. MS Word for example, all email programmes and so on.... sorry Brian not sure where you got that from, Not that I could find the post anyway as that link just takes me to the topic page.. and not to mention changing years and years of muscle memory just for one forum so you don't double enter is pretty stupid..
I don't post regularly but can imagine if I did it would drive me mad having to go back and hit backspace, after automatically double entering all the time , like I just had to for this paragraph
OMG!!!!! Microsoft word 2010 Have adopted that format. That's presumably why Brian thinks it's the standard these days. 
Sorry Brian, but just because Microsoft have decided to do it that way DOESN'T make it the norm.
Enter x1 = New line.
Enter x2 = New paragraph
Olly, I had posted my comment about the first unread reply from what happened to me when I logged out and logged back in. I don't know of a cause for what you've experienced in that case. The social strata link in my post which you quoted whould take you to Brian's comment rather than the topic page so that's very odd A random thought, have you tried clearing your browser cache in case the revised forum has confused it?

Clicking that link takes me to the main topics list not a thread...
The first unread happens on my PC and Laptop so nothing to do with the cache needing clearing and as I said it is random, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. . it does take me to my last post if I have posted in a thread.. which is pretty stupid as I then don't know if anyone has posted before mine went thru.
arrrgggh double entered again and halfway down the post box. .Tell Brian Microsoft doesn't rule the world.. standard is, and always has been

it did for me this time too. .I swear it didn't before....
I saw Brian's pic, he's a kid. .the majority of typers are of generations that learnt with the normal standards so he'll have to change not us as his is the minority generation.. it's like there's a generation of people coming up that can't be assed to do stuff themselves and get a program to do it for them.. oh well
