No way to add a picture to a post.

Am I hallucinating, or didn't there used to be VERY RECENTLY a way to add a photo or image to the post you were typing? I went to do that a few minutes ago, but below the text box there is no longer a way to select up to 3 pictures to be displayed beside my post.

What is going on? They can't add things that are frequently being asked for, yet they can take away something that gets used quite a lot!!

Saying that perhaps they thought that we (grandparents) might have fewer children likely to see the pics was said tongue in cheek.

Hello there,
We just wanted to let you know that we have temporarily turned off picture loading on Gransnet due to the issues we were having on Mumsnet.
It should be back within a week once we implement an filter for all pictures to ensure they are safe.
We hope you understand.
Best wishes,
GNHQ

Thank you for this.

Yes, thank you. It would have been nice, however, to have seen a note warning us of this as it was started.
