Problems while embedding an image in a post

When I create a post with an embedded image, I get this error message: An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.

These are the steps to re-create the issue:

Create a post
Embed an image using the “Upload” button in the toolbar
Click on “Submit Topic” button
Get this error: An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi.
:waving_hand:
That’s just because you are new to the forum. It takes a little while for one to be granted posting images. (Spam protection.)

If you need to (for an issue), you can upload your screenshot/image to your cloud, set it for share and link to it in your post.

Vincent: Thank you for your explanation. I thought I was doing something wrong.

The forum software could make the error message clearer; that will obviate the need to bother others.

You are welcome.

I’ll pass on the message, regarding posting images.

Thanks, I’ve modified the message a bit to explain why it is being blocked.
