I took the first steps in this forum and hit an obstacle right away. Wrote a new post, added a screenshot via "shoot and paste", so to speak. It showed perfectly in my brand new post... until i submitted it. Nowhere to be found. How should that be done right?
You should upload an image by using the attachment facility found by clicking the "paperclip" icon in the tools just above the text entry box. That will leave an expandable thumbnail in your post. Cutting and pasting an image does not always work -- in fact, for a long time it would create base64 strings in posts rather than an image.
Please read The Forum Rules and The Forum Posting Guidelines A thing discovered and kept to oneself must be discovered time and again by others. A thing discovered and shared with others need be discovered only the once. This universe is crazy. I'm going back to my own.
Thx! Can it be, that this only shows when you turn on the advanced options? I switched them on today and can't switch back to test.
Yes. The designers of vBulletin only intended the Quick Reply message editor for - well - quick replies, which wouldn't include things like attachments. If you click on "Go Advanced" and bring up the advanced editor, you can't go back to the quick reply editor for that particular post attempt. Why would you want to? The advanced editor does everything the quick editor does, and a lot more. There's nothing stopping you from posting a brief text-only reply with the advanced editor if you want. Once you've posted your post from the advanced editor - or abandoned it (always an option) - you will see the quick reply editor when you next look at any thread. It doesn't disappear. Speaking personally, I cordially dislike the quick reply editor. I can't see the point of it. And it confuses some newcomers to the forum who can't find certain tools in the editor (such as the attachment manager and also code tags) and think that is all there is.

Are you talking about "Go Advanced" while editing a post?
Yes I talked about that. Actually, right now the button shows again. And now i can't see the attachment button in this quick answer. So this all starts to make a little bit more sense to me. If an attachment is the way to go, then I take it. It was just very intuitive to copy and paste a picture, see it during creation and very unintuitive see it vanished after publishing.
