Thanks for letting us know. I don't delve into my profile too often, so it would have been easy to miss. Really a big help having you folks poking around things!!
@imidazol97 so it turns out the inability to edit profiles was a consequence of instituting the single sign on system for Insider and forums. (Remember all that merging we did last August? ) I did inform the forums software folks that this is something our members would like to be able to do, so they are looking into it for us. Apparently we don't do it as often as we think we do.
On the image uploading/icons front... a couple of issues have been addressed and I'm wondering if anyone is having better results lately. Not saying that it's fixed, but there might be visible progress. If things are still wonky, let us know that too. Sometimes those odd behaviors can hold the key. Thanks again for your patience!!
Thanks @28firefighter Having only the URL box showing is one of those weird behaviors I'm talking about. I have tried multiple browsers and devices and still have only had it go dormant on me twice since April.
Given that it happens across any browser, have you looked into the possibility of it being a permissions issue? Perhaps a subgroup of users had permissions removed to upload pictures?

On my Windows 10 PC using Firefox, I still can't even get any pulldowns to respond at all, even after a fresh reboot. At least in Chrome the pulldowns work, but all I get is "Image URL" and no local file option.
Also using Windows 10 + Firefox. Just before posting this message the pulldown menus were not working so I clicked back and forth between page 1 and page 4 of this topic and now they are working again.
When I was posting earlier today I had no issues except the usual thing with no image uploading. Image URL only.
I don't remember if I used edit profile before but the only trouble I had with Insider/forum merge was a log in fail that got resolved long time ago.
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
That the Mods can upload pictures makes me think even more it is a permissions issue related to us peons...
Some of the mods are seeing the issue, but not persistently. I've looked at our settings and image posting is enabled, but it was an area to look at for sure!
Sadly when I select emotorcons or Image, I get zero functionality, not even the URL posting. No change in my system. I am currently on my Microsoft Surface.

I'm still getting only URL choice for input on graphics flydown menu.
I'm still getting only preferences as the choice under the account page flydown menu with the person in the upper right corner that used to give Profile as a choice for chances as well.

@28firefighter Thanks for speculating about permissions! Nothing is fixed yet, but I was finally able to consistently duplicate the issue by logging in with a test account that just has normal user permissions. So on the same computer, operating system, browser, etc., I have NO issues on my account, but DO have them on my "user" account. The permissions ARE set to allow users to add images, so I think this really narrows down where the mechanics need to look! I'll certainly keep everyone posted on any progress on a fix.
Feels very odd that I'm happy I got something to NOT work
@28firefighter@ab348 We may have made some progress on things (MAYBE fixed) Try some images, make some links, attach some files, and see if you can edit your profile
Your permissions configurations cannot possibly be more complicated than Office 365, which I deal with daily. Glad you were able to replicate it.
Where should I send my invoice?
Just bill for the same amount as your membership dues..
Well, at least we have confirmed the reason you can still post pics while nobody else can. That ought to be worth something. I seem to recall that @imidazol97 and others first raised the permissions possibility at the end of June.
@PF_Flyer , no joy here on any of the pulldowns in Firefox, they are all totally unresponsive. I will fire up Chrome and see if that is any better.
Now in Chrome, same issue, no response from any pulldown icon.
It MAY be that you're still looking at a cached page. Try refreshing, or clearing your cache, or sign out and back in. My test account was dead, but as you can see, I signed back in and everything functioned.
Also, if you go to your profile, can you see the Edit Profile option?
Image orientation sanfu is corrected as well. I had unresponsive icons on my laptop once back when this all started and a refresh fixed that. Same thing just a bit ago on the ipad. Since you switched devices and got images to work, it really feels like a cache/refresh kind of thing now
All the signing in and out I've done today, I've run into the sign in popup staying blank with a spinny thing, but that also is gotten around with refreshing.

Unable to update my profile - when I try to save I'm told I do not have permissions. I can update my signature, though.

Also, if you go to your profile, can you see the Edit Profile option?
That was also corrected
Seeing if the image orientation fix worked
I WAS able to edit and save my profile.
Now I am back and not only are the pulldowns responsive but I can add a local picture!! Hooray!
