Can we no longer post pictures on mn?

I’m sure we used to be able to attach a picture to a post but doesn’t seem we can anymore? Am I missing anything?

Well the site was recently invaded by people posting illegal images so it's probably a blanket ban for now.

There's been a few posts and threads on the fact that MN is no longer allowing people to post pictures
.
It seems a lot of users are still unaware of the event which lead up to this ban.

Perhaps MN should have made a much more visible announcement about the embargo on posting photos . So that people didn't have to keep asking why they can no longer post them.

Sorry to have missed seeing that. But photos no longer allowed on MN (for the time being, anyway).

What the BBC news announced MN is no longer allowing posters to post photos?

I was on MN during the night when the event was happening but luckily didn't see any of the illegal pictures. So the next day I was particularly looking for MN's response to the incident and tbh I found the response because I was looking for it. So I'm not surprised a lot of people were unaware of what happened.

If some MNers had to find out about at the stage it reached BBC coverage I'm not overly surprised

You can report your own thread if you want it removed.

I'd imagine the BBC reported on the incident that caused photo upload privileges to be removed.... not that MN no longer allow uploading of photos 🤔 It was a pretty big breach.

Why would you remove it? It's no harm if more people become aware of this incident!

Sinkintotheswamp · 07/02/2025 08:23

Hopefully not. Someone will only try and repeat what happened sadly.

I understand the seriousness.

I was responding to the pp who said it was on the BBC because I didn't see how that had any bearing on the OP not knowing she couldn't post pictures unless the BBC report covevered that point.

Oh it’s just the link read like they think some people are asking about it just to stir things up.

There is a thread on "site stuff" but how many visit that part? I agree there should be something pinned on all sub forums as not many are aware. 😔

Sad but true.

Can I be the first to say @PhyllisWallet that I would have absolutely appreciated your bunion picture. You have my sympathy 💐
