An error occurred: Sorry, you can't embed media items in a post

Huh? I’m dragging in a .jpg file, in this help forum, and it seems to work in the “preview” to the right of the post. But when I try and publish it, I get this error. What am I doing wrong?

I don’t think you can “drag in” an image file. Instead use the image link icon when writing a post or reply.

… the above shows where the image upload is. But it is also an image itself! All worked fine.

above is another image. Not terribly interesting, but just shows all is working fine.

@Mathew New forum users (trust level 0) can’t post images. They have to reach trust level 1 before that permission is unlocked.

@showrods I’ve updated your member status so you should be able to post screenshots now.

HA! Turns out it was a “trust the newbie” issue. I was a zero and now I’m a “1” per Matthew of Rapidweaver. As they said in the Jeffersons 70s TV series, “Movin’ on up!”
