Hi @moderators, adding images in a post content is completely broken for me.

No matter which type of image you try to attach: PNG, or JPG, it doesn't show up, and instead of it, it shows the link to the image.

It also doesn't matter, if one use the Markdown syntax, as shown below:

![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg) or ![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Optional title")

or that you use HTML tag:
![](path/to/image.jpg)

It just doesn't work. Is that know issue, and are you trying to fix it already, or not?

There was a reason I couldn't get all the images into your previous post, and I don't think it had to do with the fact some were in PNG format. You'd have to ask the staff in regards to fixing things.

Also of note, I can't see any of the image links when you reported your own post and asked to have us help edit it. I wonder if they're worried about some new exploit I haven't heard about yet and are blocking images until their AV can scan it ...

Hi @sgunhouse, thanks for the prompt reply, and for all of your help - I really appreciate it

I wonder who's the most appropriate person in Opera, which can provide more details on that matter? - unless, there's already someone working on it, and this will be resolved any time soon?

Hi @joshl, thanks for the reply, yes, as Steve mentioned above, the old images are fine, but it seems, that the issue has a place, when one want to add some new images (in my case specifically PNG images).

Let's give it a try: you provide such a link (forming an image optional), I take it and post an image. That should be strict.
However, Steve's avatar appears to be PNG, and I had success with it (though the post was held).

Yes, but honestly, why should I have to?!
What you type should be what you get. It is on every single other forum I use except this one.

Not at all.
Every decent forum has its ways to format text and do other stuff. How on earth should it be supposed to be not using certain reserved symbols??
There are regular characters - that which are used in ''normal'' language typing, right? Letters and punctuation marks. Agreed some of the latter are reserved here too, as well as ''not normal'' characters - like asterisc etc. But still.
Seriously???

Agreed that there's certain duplicating using both underscores and asteriscs for the same. However, it follows HTML standard - it's THERE where there is such duplicacy: they have their "strong" and other "schmong" which usually do exactly the same things - but they ''THINK'' they're reserving those in case some day in the future blah-blah-blah or some other schiit.
