Glitch in Safari 5: can't insert image

Bert Vanderveen

Just noticed that the option to inert an image doesn't work. Am on Safari 5. Any ideas?

I believe the Insert Image feature here relies on Flash. Given all the well-publicized furor over Apple & Flash, I’m guessing that Safari 5 does not play well with Flash.

Not sure what it would take for the Punchcut folks to rewrite the image upload without Flash.

This image was inserted using Safari 5 on a Mac Pro [

Try setting Safari to Open in 32 bit mode in Get Info box - I have it set that way for my Hear software (audio improvement from Joesoft) since it will not run in 64 bit mode yet.

Well, it appears that Safari 5 is a bit finicky about the type of image -- it kind of worked with a jpeg, although there was still an error message under the post-box… Tried it again with a screenshot converted to a jpeg and Safari crashed on me.

So no image in this post...

Setting Safari 5 to 32-bits did nothing. This is how the comment box looks like:

Inserting worked... : )

And that took a VERY long time, something like a minute or two, three…

Bert my image was a jpeg - only mentioned 32 bit thing because thats the way my Safari is set

Doesn't this thread belong here?

(maybe I will file a bug report about the non-findability of the bug report forum ;-)

Moved. Thanks for the heads up.
