You mean the "Upload Image" button?

my images show up on a separate screen.



Yes, that would be your "explorer" window.

I click on the appropriate image and hit the open button, Nothing posts. Where should it show, Not in the space next to the written message or in the preview area.



First, you sould get a popup message saying "image uploaded". Next, you should see a special "code" appear in your message. That code will later be translated to the actual image. If you click the "Preview" button, the image should show up. If none of the above happens, it could be that you are trying to upload something other than the supported image formats - which are JPG, PNG and GIF.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes upload image button gets me to the images I want to post. I open the image, but nothing happens from there. No code in the text I type, or nothing in the preview page. I will check a bit later to see what format these images are in, but they worked fine with PIP. Busy now, but will get to it later today. Thanks again for the reply.

Great work as always, Cliff.

Iโ€™d like to make a suggestion for a future feature. Most forums have some way to jump to the latest post. Is this possible to implement?

Lastly, some small bugs were fixed.

Oh, and one thing that comes with mobiles: emojis! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Don't worry, someone will soon stay "Upload Image" button won't work not matter what you do to fix it.

Still haven't fix HTML version and charset on normal PFF pages causing some "illegal" characters and other issues on some posts.
I believe PFF is still some type of HTML 4 but pages Doesn't have Doctype declarations etc saying so and most browsers now try to default render as HTML5 w/ UTF-8 but barfs on some items.

Emojisโ“ Newโ“ Already happened here unless got an "illegal Character" mark as above and more so w/ FF and others Win PC supporting them this year w/ Emoji Library etc. to put them into posts and other things. I use them rarely but other will and a lot...
Even "old" IE11 tries to display many emojis.

Plus most browsers and PFF supports most HTML Special Characters for years but few uses them. I use them to get degree as ยฐ, Ω, etc. plus my keyboard allows macros to make them faster to use. More Confusing, some can use names or numbers to use them here even tho many have both in the list.

Side note: Many HTML Special Characters pages now have change to whatever Emojis have the same Unicode number/character. 4 moon symbols are now moon smiles. Others are "illegal" even w/ correct DocType and charset on the that page in some browsers.

(Illegal character symbol displays different on browser used... This between quotes "๏ฟฝ" often see Diamond ? on FF Chrome and others or same symbol but as an Empty Square in IE in some PFF posts. Or sometimes might see a square w/ very small hex numbers in all browsers to show number for a missing character for a given font.)

I posted twice this morning then was away from the internet for a while. When I checked this thread again, both my posts had a line of dashes with my real name underneath. I edited the posts to remove them, but it's not a big deal. Just wanted you to know. Perhaps I'm checking a box I shouldn't.

Here's another test.

I think you hit the "Show signature" checkbox.

I hope that's what you meant, but I've implemented two very faintarrows at the top right and bottom right of the screen. Tapping thos takes you to the top and bottom of the screen.
