I ran into a problem while using this new beta.chainBB.com website which lets you login with your steemit account and post in more of a forum mode....I tried dragging and dropping over images like Steemit normally allows you to do! Normally on steemit you can drag and drop an image and it will just appear as a steemitimages.com image url link that is generated automatically for you! When you try dragging and dropping an image into this chainBB text box when you "create a new Post" it just erases all of your text, and takes you to your image as if you simply dragged and dropped your image into your internet browser......all your chainBB text you were writing is gone! It doesnt save it automatically like normal steemit does!
In this image I illustrate how i can drag and drop images into the default steemit story submission text box which gives me a preview and does all these nice things that chainBB does not do yet! So for convenience you might as well type out everything in regular steemit, and copy and paste it into chainBB to post it!
But if you just use the normal steemit story submission box to create your story, you can drag and drop images, get automated image URLs generated for you, and then simply copy and paste it when you're finished and submit it to What I call Super Steemit or Steemit Plus, HERE on beta.chainbb.com instead of submitting it the old way with regular default steemit!
(As you can see here I just copied ovr all the text from my steemit article which generated my image links from just dragging and dropping! making ChainBB alot easier and more fun!)
I only wish we had a "preview" area below so i could make sure all of my images are correct and that my text formatting looks good! What needs to be done to enable a Preview area for our posts here on chainBB? As for now I have just gone over how you can use regular steemit as the preview and for image link generation, and just copy and paste it all into chainBB when your done looking it over on regular steemit with its Preview feature!
So for all beta.chainBB.com steemit users using the new chainBB forum system, if you want to retain steemit's easy image drag and drop which automatically uploads a copied image to steemitimages.com and links you a URL automatically. just type out your steemit article in the "Submit a Story" box like you normally would WITHOUT chainBB, but then just copy and paste the text into chainBB after hitting "Create a new post"!
that way you wont have to upload images to steemitimages or imgur manuallly when trying to write an article on chainBB, which just takes you to the image if you try dragging an dropping an image into your chainBB text! It really sucks because if you try adding images here on chainBB like you can on regular steemit, it will just take you to a new page showing your image in your browser and none of your text you had been writing will be saved like the normal default steemit text box does for you! LOL It was a hard lesson for me having to rewrite all of my story text but I wanted to tell everyone about the potential human error "bug" and how to avoid it!
TLDR; This is how you can use the normal stemit story box to write your story but instead of hitting that blue "post" button like you normally do to finish and submit a story to steemit onsteemit.com, just copy all the text and paste it over onto chainBB's text box for creating a new post here!
Please enjoy this GIF that illustrates just how steem circullates througout the system and how STeemit and Steempower work
