Why do no longer get a pick photo dialog when I try to upload a photo.

When I now attempt to attach a photo I get a dialog. Is asking for the Source, Image Description and the dimensions.  Why does this happen?

Hey there,

Thanks for flagging this @CoolingWizard, as @MplsCustomer pointed out we made some changes on the backend to mitigate an ongoing spam attack on the site. These changes inadvertently caused issues with image posting, but it should be fixed now.

If you run into any other issues with posting images on the community please let me know and we'll dig a little deeper.

Thank you,
Kelan

Google Nest seems to have removed the ability to insert images in posts on this forum a couple of weeks ago, after the spam attack where--for an entire weekend--someone posted hundreds (maybe thousands?) of gambling posts referring to Indonesia and Malaysia, most with flashing images.  I noticed the option was missing after they deleted those posts and re-enabled the forum (which was set to read-only for awhile).
