Test

It let me load an attachment

what kind and how big? It will shrink photos, but not a pdf and some others

I assume you went to 'manage attachments"?

ongoing since yesterday - tried both paper clip + managing attachments - finally worked after at least 30 attempts - site still showing message [ site is not secure ] - attachments working perfectly on 3 other forums that i tried today with no problems or delay -

Note that this site does not use SSL certificates.

Some browsers have security settings that will stop content (files / images etc) from moving to or from sites without SSL.

Check Chrome settings. Click on "Not secure" up on the URL line on the left, then click "Site Settings". Try "allow insecure content".

Alternatively, try another browser like Firefox or Brave.

been using windows 10 + edge browser since i started posting here + have never had a problem loading attachments before + also never had the site is not secure message - no changes or updates in settings on my computer _ - all other forums i participate in are working normally -

Try restarting your computer Robert ... often times a restart will mysteriously sort these 'glitches'.

[schutzen-jager]

restart , cleared cache , cookies , disk clean up , browsing history ,+ etc - also now when signing in + switching topics get error message instantly [ forum.lugerforum.com took too long to respond ] - error message site not secure still - all other forums are operating properly except this one -

[Edward Tinker]

I would guess its a setting / security set on your end, as I have not noticed any changes. Updates happen frequently.

[schutzen-jager]

no changes in settings , security , + automatic updates are blocked - like the recent log out problem experianced by myself + others conditions only exist here + in none of the other forums i participate in -

] web site not secure There's a risk to your personal data when sending or receiving information from this site. ]

@schutzen-jager: I think your computer tightened up its internet and browser security, as have most of our computer, particularly in the last month. You probably need to check your browser preferences.

I had to allow "pop-ups" specifically for this web site before the attachment window would appear again.

I uploaded a photo just last night.

I would also recommend using a different browser - they all work a little differently and some are easier to manage.

[schutzen-jager]

thanks , but if that was the case why are all the 9 other forums performing properly ? - like i stated settings , security not changed + all automatic updates + changes blocked with out my express permission -

[Edward Tinker]

Hard to say - I know its frustrating - workarounds are never fun.

I'm just guessing it happens to be an update (possibly this site) and its hard to judge.
Updates on your browser is fairly important, not updating has security risks, but also, if sites have updated, you may lose functionality. Its hard to say.

Since you were able to upload, it seems odd. Can you try uploading here? Maybe it was just a glitch?

[schutzen-jager]

no can not upload - after several minutes of file uploading please wait i receive this message -

Hmmm… can't reach this page

multiple attempts using both manage attachments + paper clip -

[schutzen-jager]

worked after 12 attempts -
