Positioning photos in post
-
Hi, I am experiencing problems writing a post with photos. Whilst I have experienced some difficulties with layout in the past, this problem only started today and makes it almost impossible to write a post.
When I start to construct a post the first photo and text go ok, except unusually both the Medium (my usual use) and large boxes are both checked during the process)?? I can resolve this by first clicking thumbnail and then Medium. Why is this happening, it did not when making my earlier posts?
When I try to enter a second photo further down my text, two unusual things occur.
Firstly, the two checked sizes problem still occur
Secondly, and this is the big problem, when I upload the photo, it changes position to the top of my post, not where I positioned the curser. I checked the position of the curser carefully before I clicked the insert photo button, but it occurs every time. I have never seen this problem before, is there a problem at your end or is it local to me? Any ideas would help.
I am using Browser upload at the moment as I have done in the past.
I did install Flash Player to see how it worked and thought this might be the cause, but I have Uninstalled and problems still exist.
Thanks Ray Oliver
PS Example of my attempt will be put on my BLOG for a couple of days in case this helps

I am having the same problem of all photo inserts going to the top for the last two days. Very annoying>

Have you tried to insert the images from the html editor?
I have that glitch occasionally, but not for days at a time. -
Tess,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I just tried it from the html editor and the photo went right to the top. -

Doesn’t support automatically read the forums for problems?
Short answer: No.
The forums are mostly populated by volunteers. Staff will pop in but they handle the support requests that are sent thru the link on the support page.

When I click on the add media button, I can see through the half greyed-out area that the cursor has disappeared from where I left it. Does that help?

Will try to contact supportThanks Ray

Sorry for spelling on last post.
By the way. I have been trying out BlogDesk and that makes preparing the posts very easy …. but then it lacks a few facilities, like adding a caption to the photos.
Otherwise it is great … a a backup file is saved of each post, including photos. :-) -
i too was (am) having this issue – if anyone gets a resolve thru support, pls post here. I simply just dragged it down from the top to where i wanted it in the post.
Very frustrating.
thx Carole -
I have been contacted by support. Apparently they recently fixed a bug for this. They asked I contact them again if the problem still occurs.
It appears to be working better tonight, although system very slow and I still had to juggle to get text where I wanted. (some refused to go! … but that’s normal and why I tried out BlogDesk)
But looks like it was a problem their end, that hopefully is resolved. :-)
Will try again over weekend.
Thanks for feedback everyone
Ray
