There is no preview button to this edit box .. only Cancel and Submit. There is no code-block or fixed-width font format link either. - - - apparent local markup language - - - bold itallics

  1. enumerated
  2. list of
  3. words and
  4. sentences
  • bulleted list
  • of sentences
  • and words

some useful URL [<https://-style-URL> descriptive text for this hyperlink] as a hyperlink

bold itallics

  1. level 1
    1. level 2
  2. lvl one again
    • sub-bullet

Apologies in advance in case this post comes out as a mess!

Finally, Firefox does not require camera access for me to browse the file system to choose a screenshot image to upload at this support forum. So why block image attachment upload until the user grants Firefox access to the device's camera? Not cool!

Chosen solution

On the third attempt the same 336kB image file could be uploaded succesfully. See below. I am not sure why it decided to start working for this second reply but not for the OP or for the first reply.

Closing this thread if screenshot image of original post edit box does indeed appear in posted result.

The original post edit box does really need a Preview Post button.

OK, so the reply edit box does have a Preview Reply button so the shortcoming appears to be in the design of the page for submitting an original question.

Image upload never seems to complete.
