Transition Feedback Thread

Hi all!
Welcome to the new Oracle Community platform powered by Vanilla forums!
It's been a long time coming and I must thank everyone involved, from our team members, to our partner areas, to our vendor to you, our community members, for being patient with us as we transition away from our former platform.
I know things look new and I know things are a lot different. There are new nodes to explore, new abilities to find and just a whole better experience to be had in the Oracle Community.
For those who need a starting point, I'm updating our knowledge base for the tech node (linked to the "Resources" button on this page) on a daily basis. I'll also be here to take your questions about all the changes to community as we roll out new functions and features.
Again, I just want to thank ALL of you for staying with us and look forward to exploring these new Communities with you!
Best,
Jim Finch

I have not been able to upload images, pictures to posts since the past week. Specifically- Insert Image - From your computer has stopped working. I have tried jpg, gif, png formats, and have also tried using all lower case for file name, I get the following error "That image type is forbidden". However the inserting picture with "From the Web" does work.
Can someone please look into this asap.

I was able to insert this image download.jpg using the Insert Image From your Computer functionality using the Chrome 85 browser on my Windows 10 PC.
What browser version and operating system are you using?
-
I upgraded to v85 chrome, same result.
Btw I heard from another administrator that - This is due to our team working to update the community platform, and in doing so, this capability will be available in a different form upon release.

To clarify, I was saying that the ability to 'upload a file' or create a 'document' content types are no longer available. However, uploading an image within a discussion or reply (as Jim has done) is available.

Steps followed are as below
Reply to a Discussion or even start a New Discussion, - then click Insert Image icon in the toolbar, choose File (for option From your Computer), then select my jpg or pnf file, click Insert Image, which gives the error - "That image type is Forbidden"
I upgraded to Chrome 85 (it was 84 earlier). (FYI this error is showing up in the last 1 or 2 weeks)

If you download the image I posted above, reply to this post and follow your steps, do you still receive the same error?
-
same error - That image type is forbidden.

@Sandeep Kumar sk, is this occurring only when trying to post in this community?

Hi,
I have the same issue: Is these syntax supported in oracle?
I was not able to upload using chrome (Version 85.0.4183.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)) I am able to upload using firefox. I tried png, bmp and jpeg types by the way.
