Edit 12.9.17: Solved! Please help: „Image upload: Unable to contact the server.“

in help •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Steemians, I'm new here and I wanted to put a photo from me to my introducemyself-Post, but many times it always appeared the above error message. I tried a new post and it's the same. I tried to copy with the clipboard and it only appears the path to the image on my HD. I'm using Firefox on Windows 7 and on Ubuntu. I found only one post with this problem where it was'nt solved. Can anybody help? Thanks

I'm having the same problem. It used to be easy, just select and add the photo. Now I am getting the same error after using steemit for 3 months...??? Maybe the steemit website is having a problem??

If you scroll down to the "preview" does it show the image?

No, never.

The way I do it is upload a photo to google Photos and copy the URL to the photo box in the editor.

Paste the URL in the Markdown editor and wait until the image shows in the Preview section when you scroll down!

If you click the link above it will show you what it should look like. It shows the link in the editor box and shows the photo in the preview box. Depending on your internet speed it will take some time for the photo to appear in the preview.

Thanks!

Thank you, but I don't have such an editor and cannot show it how it appears on my steemit window because of the same problem. I only have a simple window with a slim frame to write within it. How can I get this editor?

See the markdown button on the photo I commented above? (top right hand corner) Well there should be a button in the same place that says editor, if you click on that it should come up

Please leave behind an upVote and a follow thank you ;)

Thank you, but in Firefox the editor still doesn't appear. I switched to Chrome and here I can upload images and have the editor.

Thanks for you answer although my solution was the opposite of yours. I could not upload media in Chrome. I switched to firefox and then I could upload media again.

Here's an article that should help you if your new!

I am also having a big challenge with uploading a photo. There is no connection with the server!
