Where can I submit a request for help with a forum problem ? I thought there was a special area for just this but I cannot find it now.
Briefly, when using Firefox (latest), I get an error on a new post but it does post. If I edit a post I get a server error.
I think this started when I tried to insert an image into a post and picked the wrong image (a big one).
Funny thing is that if i use IE or Pale Moon there are no problems. I deleted cookies, cleared history, etc. in Firefox but it did not help.

The forum section was removed. Some of the forum section posts were moved to the coffee house.
FWIW, I do not have issues using the latest Firefox. Image size should not matter because images are not hosted on the forum server. Only the links are embedded in the posts.

scook,
Firefox always worked for me too...for years. Pale Moon is a Firefox fork and it still works.
I tried to paste the image directly into the post so it was not a link. Anyway, it appears the problem is on my end so I will keep trying.

Pasting images directly into posts is not allowed. Images must be hosted by another server such as imgur.com and the link added to the forum post.

I fixed the issue. Was going to reinstall FF but they have a new Refresh Firefox feature and I did that.
It fixed the issue and retained my bookmarks, logins, etc, but killed my addons. No biggie. I see there is a new version 2 legacy theme to replace the Australis UI which I never cared for.

I see posts with images embedded all the time. How is this done then...with HTML image tag?

The forum has a special set of tags to embed an image. Put a URL to an image inside an [img] [\img] pair
