Taking a week off in protest.

Just thought I would post that I am taking a week off from this forum in protest to the new changes to forum. Lack of picture upload. No spell check. Can't delete posts. Can't see who posted last and...

    What's the point anyway?  A lot of people come here to post questions or just to rant and then never check back after you take the time to post a solution to their issue.  They either couldn't find their way back here or didn't really want help.  Then there are the ones who do check back, but don't bother with the simple courtesy of a reply.

I was just trying to do a little testing. I don't seem to be able to cut and paste an image, the insert media icon has no effect, and the attachment icon has no effect. Without the ability to share/view status/signal strength/event log, the kinds of advice that have been possible in the past cannot be supported now. I'll mention that the Arris board (https://community.surfboard.com/) is easier to work with, but it isn't Cox focused.

    Posting using two windows. I thought insert media function seems to work on an intermittent basis. Windows 11, Chrome browser.  Then I concluded - "Or, perhaps not. It appears that it doesn't actually upload successfully. I get a "Media Upload in Progress. Try again in a few moments."

      The Insert Media icon is not doing anything when using Edge.

        Seems when you post there are two icon bars below where you type. One works, one doesn't. However even using the one that "works" I get the "Media Upload in Progress" error when trying to upload from my PC. I tried uploading a video from link and that didn't work either. Giving me the error: "Content Not Published. You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish. Try again later." This was when posting only my 2nd post in this thread.

        How are we supposed to debug this forum when we can't even share pictures?
