Posting photos on message boards has changed

Last night I could no longer post photos from Dropbox on message boards on an Android mobile device using the "Attach files" function. Now I can only do it through the "Insert image" function in the tool bars. Don't recall being notified that was changing. I use Chrome as my broswer on my Android phone and desktop pc.

 

ETA: I have been using Dropbox for many years and this is very frustrating. Other than photo storage, message board posting is my principal use of Dropbox.

    Hi CKKJA, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Is the attach files feature part of the Dropbox mobile app, or the message boards you use?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    The message boards. They use XenForo platforms if that helps you. This just started last night too. Already tried restarting my phone to see if that helped. Nada.

    If this issue occurred last night, then it could be related to the forums if they were updated. 

     

    Did you make an update to the Dropbox mobile app?

    I didn't do any Dropbox updates. It must be a XenForo issue.

    I can still post photos from Dropbox there. The easier way to do it just got cut off I guess.

    Upon further inquiry with XenForo, it appears that it may be an Android issue.
