A question - is there any way I can delete a pic from Flickr once I've put it in a post I'm writing on mobile?

Let me try and explain: I have pics hosted at Flickr, so to put one in a post I copy its URL and paste it into the post I'm writing - problem is if I cock it up there seems to be absolutely no way to delete it again, so I have to bin the entire post and start again. At least if I'm using the web version it gives me the option to change the pic to a link, then I can delete that.

Thanks...

No idea apart from my usual comment that the editor on this forum software is dog shite. I know uploaded photos I can just remove by hitting delete on the keyboard/phone pop-up keyboard. Presumably that doesn't work?

Version 5 (we're on v4) of the forum software is supposed to have a new editor that is better...

On mobile, probably not.  I similarly can't delete a tagged user or link once it's inserted into the post.  The editor is just that dodgy, especially on mobile.  It's just Invision being Invision sadly.

Is anyone else finding the forum glacially slow today?  It seems to be struggling particularly with pics.

The last daily mail links do not work correctly. I should end up at the post but the link sends me to the front page.

Yes. It keeps randomly resetting itself. Bizarre. Literally no updates or settings changes.

If this is for real, I am sad.

(I'm a bit behind on posts so if something has blown up I'm not yet aware of it)

Something helpful was said in the GS for sale thread about the starting handle, it was taken the wrong way and that looks to have been the final straw.

I hope @Mr Pastry doesn't depart because of it.

It took me a while as I'm not following that thread. IMHO @Mr Pastry's posts are always well considered and informative, so this seems like an isolated incident or misunderstanding.

Sorry for the unscheduled site error message at around 10:20pm for a couple of minutes. I triggered a software update that usually happens in the background where none of the services gets stopped and only restarted when I reboot the server. However this time, with the quantity of updates that went on, it did it unexpectedly during that the initial download update phase.

I can't remember the limit but there is daily one to stop reaction spamming. In theory high enough that it should never be hit! I can't remember the exact number but I think it's in the hundreds per day.

Weird, I`ve not done that many? Maybe, I dunno, 30 or so?

uhhh @SiC is it possible to undo a "mark everything as read" action? I accidentally clicked the chat bubble circle next to "Autoshite" in this screenshot and it marked the whole forum section as read

(I swear there used to be a confirmation prompt for this at one point?)

Nope not that I'm aware of!

Welp LOL, is there way to put some sort of confirmation prompt an "are you sure"? save other people from fucking up in the same way I did? :)

That sounds worryingly like you're asking for common sense UI features from Invision - that's surely a sign of madness!
