Okay, what you need to do is place your cursor in the "Image Url" spot, right click and select paste, then add a space at the end.
Okay I got it to work, thanks for the help but what a convoluted process! I thought the Image URL went in the box that says "drop image/file". Apparently that box serves no purpose, sowhy not just excise it in favor of the space that say "image URL"?
As for adding a space on the end, how are ya supposed to know to do that?
The whole process used to a lot more user friendly [[non-permissible content removed] over]
You don't even need to click the file icon. Just drag an image from your desktop into the comment box. It's automatically uploaded. Not sure how it could be much easier!
Try this - go to your Member Name on the right sidebar and click on the gear. Then select Edit Profile. There's an option there for Signature Settings.
Or click on your name in your post above. There's an Edit Profile selection under the "little head" dropdown arrow there (to the right of your member name). That'll take you to the same page where Signature Settings option lives.
Oh, the line you filled out in your Profile shows up when someone clicks on your name.

@imidazol97, I've been driving all day (6 hour road trip, four test drives) so I haven't caught up with the latest comments yet, but your Malibu is a good looking car. I'd leave the pic up.

I sometimes answer one of the questions in the Unanswered groups. I note that if I answer the question leaves that group. Can there be some way to leave a question there until the poster marks it answered or a certain numbers of days has elapsed?
I gave an answer for what I suspect is an internal vacuum leak on a Dodge. But I don't feel that I gave a solid answer and someone with Dodge experience may know more. But the question left the group now so Dodge or someone with knowledge may not see that question about a whine from the engine.
One the other hand there's been a question about the size of crank bearings on a toyota in the group for weeks. There should be a way for unanswered questions to "time out."

I'll check into it. One thing I can do is change that topic from a Question to a Discussion. That way it all "comments" being added and not "answers."
Is there a way to make the "Prices Paid and Buying Experiences" subforum display its subjects in alphabetical order, as we could on the old forum software? I realize there are a lot of makes and models there, but search does not always return what I'm looking for. E.g., it's not clear whether one should search for "Ford F-150 Prices Paid" or "Ford F-series Prices Paid," but if they're in alphabetical order by make, it's easy to find. "2014 Ram prices paid" returns nothing relevant other than a lease discussion.
Very difficult to navigate when the topics are shown in order of most recent activity.
That'd be nice but we haven't figured out how to do something like that. You can go to the Car Forums link up top and Browse Forums by Make/Model but the default sort is by recent activity.
I discovered the problem. There's a little bar at the bottom of the ipad marked Private. If you hit it inadvertently it locks password-pages. Un click it and passwords are "remembered" again.

It's not on the browser itself, but Safari can be set to private in iPad 1's settings. It turns the tabs an ugly black so you'd notice it if it was set.

I'm having error messages on my Win XP laptop and am not able to log into the forums for long periods and then I may be able to get in with one of the browsers.
In Firefox I get Http status 500 - an exception occurred processing JSP page/global/redesign_head_part2.jsp at line 3 and a page full of Apache error text. Other times I use the Forums pulldown on Edmunds.com and get a big Whoops!, your sso timed out during the request.
In IE8 I get the howdy stranger page but get a normal page with a message saying we're having difficulty please come back later. And then later I am able to sign in to my bookmarked pages.
@Ray80 had issues Saturday but they were short-lived and we had no other reports. Then it happened to me Sunday, and we were finally able to reproduce it. A ticket has been submitted.

XP eh? Living dangerously.
Yes I did see login issues that (unbeknownest to Steve and others) repeated after the first occurrance somewhat later in the day.
And yes indeed on the XP thing, Somehow or other I managed really break my 2 XP machines shortly before support ended. They were pretty old anyway so both have been replaced.
I have a heavy old spare laptop around here I keep meaning to put Windows 10 beta on but haven't gotten around to it. Maybe that'll break it and I can dump it.
Early next week, you will see a few changes in the Forums. There will be an ad placement after every 5th comment posted within discussions. And to reduce the ad clutter at the top of the page, those static ads will be going away. Plus, the side rail navigation will be rearranged a bit that should be helpful with navigating the forums.
If you have any questions, please post them here or you can send personal message by clicking on my screen name.

Anyone else use the Chrome browser on iOS? I'm getting what appears to be a very old-school mobile site on my iPhone 6s, but everything looks normal on my iPad mini 2. Here are screenshots from the iPhone:

I'm seeing this on my iPhone as well, using the Safari browser.
Why all of a sudden is it taking at least 3 steps to sign in, including a stop at the Howdy Stranger page, when nothing with me has changed? This is sure annoying. Thanks!
Are you still having the issue? I see that you have an Insider acct and went through the "merge" back in August, so you may simply have hit some temporary glitch. I've gotten signed out for no apparent reason before, but once I was signed back in, things are normal.

Same thing is still happening as of two minutes ago.
Easiest way to get in is to load the "recent discussions" page https://forums.edmunds.com/discussions, and then click the "sign in/register" button on the right-hand side. The new system does have different password requirements than the old system (which was horribly insecure), but this sounds like something else may be going on.
Please let me know if you experience any more issues. There are a couple of minor bugs that we're having Vanilla fix right now, so it's possible you happened to click into one of those.
It feels like something is "kicking you out", correct? Just like tracking down a car problem, the more details, the better!

It could be a bit more intuitive.
The drop box is so you can drag an image that lives on your computer over to the forums. No external hosting site needed, so that's a plus.
You don't even need to click the file icon. Just drag an image from your desktop into the comment box. It's automatically uploaded. Not sure how it could be much easier!
Quick example...
