It looks like the new software for this site does not allow an attachment to be made so we will never see the schematic.

There is a button here that says, "Insert other media" that might allow an attachment. I am attaching a box that says "TEST".

No, it allows only attachments that were made before, or from a URL.

The new software here is a nightmare!

Attachments are allowed here as always. You can click on "Choose Files" to attach a file.

Also there is no preview in this forum, you can later edit the post if there is something wrong.

I am making this new post to see if there is a box that says, "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" but the box is missing. Instead there is a box on the right side that says, "Insert other media" as I described before.

I use Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11.

Can you try with a different browser and report back. Otherwise i will have to make a test account and check it.

Also be sure to have scripts and cookies enabled on your browser and try to disable your antivirus just for testing.

Sorry, I will not use a different browser and I will not change anything because every other website forum works perfectly except this one with its new software.

Another problem is when I finish typing and push "Submit Reply" it says "Saving..." forever and I think it did not work. It should submit immediately and go back to the thread.

I agree. It's a downgrade, rather than an upgrade. The old software was much better.

I don't ask you to change your browsing habits, just asking to test another browser to find out the cause of issue, means to help me find the cause. As for the "Saving" it should be an instantaneous server lag.

I have always used Microsoft Internet Explorer with no problems until this website got new software. I think Admin should download Internet Explorer to see what causes the problem, not me trying another browser (which one, Firefox, Chrome or another?)..

I was asking to test another browser because the issue seems to be on your end. I managed to upload a file above with no errors. I am just curious what causing the error on your end.

Your Windows 7 is much older than my Windows 8.1 Pro.

Can you try Windows 8.1 Pro like millions of other people have?

I do not see "Saving..." anymore when I submit a reply. 

The properties of your attachment show that it is a URL, not an attachment from your hard drive. I need to make attachments from my hard drive.

I'm using Firefox 39 (the latest version) and cannot post attachments either.

Hero, which operating system do you have? Is it newer than Windows 7?

I made both Audioguru and Hero99 moderators to see if the issue is still there. Please report

It still won't allow me to post an attachment from my hard drive.

Testing using Internet Explorer on Windows 7. Still no option to attach files from the hard drive.

I am looking on the issue. It's probably a browser incompatibility.
