[Bug] Images are not always displayed inline

Why is it that images are sometimes not displayed?

I just posted a question https://answers.sap.com/questions/453632/bug-dates-for-old-questions.html and the images are just visible as links. After pasting didn't work (I keep trying just for fun), I saved and uploaded. But on posting, they were not visible inline

But oddly when I went back in to edit, they were there as I originally added them:

Files were jpegs created with Snagit for Mac, posted using Safari.

Hey, this is actually a normal behavior of the platform. you have the two options of either attaching a file, or embedding an image. in the above case, the image got attached as file, and therefore it doesn't show embedded in the content.

Hi Oliver,

I don't believe this is the case, because it only becomes apparent after posting. When attaching an image as a file, I see the link straight away.

Example of an image insertion using the picture button:

And attaching it as a file using the paperclip:

And lastly a screenshot of how the above looks in my editor before posting:

So the difference is clear.

...and when I go back in and edit my post above, the attachment stays an attachment. So your explanation is valid, but I don't think it's the same issue as the behaviour I originally described.

In the original scenario it displays an image while editing, a link once posted, and an image again when editing. When "attaching" I see a link all the time.

Browser used?

<sigh> now I have to scroll up and "comment" on Oliver's post in order to "reply" to you...

Safari. I did mention it in my original post, but I guess you make a relevant point in asking as it was 8 months ago.

I know about bug with IE - not showing jpg images in the posts... but this is not your case!

OK, and I checked my original example again and the question is now magically showing the images - compare by following the link, the question now shows images, unlike my screenshot of it.

So either it has been fixed and the other occurrences are indeed attachments, or it's random. The behaviour was random to start with, only happened every now and again.

Nothing to add, works as described by you and me above. I assume it was a bug and has been fixed at some point. #100DaysOfCommunityQA.

It looks that way, assumed fixed. Thanks.
