I ran into a forum bug. I play via steam and when I tried uploading screenshots to the forum I couldn't close the attachments window so I had to use imgur for the pics. Is that just me, just steam users or everyone?

How to test:

"post new thread"
"manage attachments" (opens a new window)
upload a pic there
click "close window". Here the window just didn't close so I couldn't return to my post to use the pic.

Is this bug only happening when you use the Steam overlay web-browser?

Yes, in normal chrome on the test forum it worked as expected, this is Steam only.

Can you try again, after you've gone into the Steam settings and reset the cookies/cache for the browser?

Did you have any luck with resetting the cache/cookies in the Steam browser?

I need a howto for that. The browser is well hidden in the steam version, pretty much inacessible.

No problem! Here's a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Open Steam.
2. Right-click the Steam icon in your system tray, and click on "Settings".
3. Click on the "Web-browser" tab.
4. There you will see the options to delete your Cache and Cookies - click on those two options.

Let me know if you need any more help!

That did not help.

I deleted cache+cookies as above with game running.
Closed the game, deleted them again.

Started the game and tested uploading in this thread. I could upload a picture but still not close the attachments window with either button.

Just to clarify - can you successfully post the picture, or does this prevent you from doing so?

I'll add support to this. I get same problem through Steam and clearing cache and stuff does nothign at all. And no I can't psot anything either. The file uploads but the window remains. I'd post a screneshot of how it looks but you know, can't... :P

Oh, also, replying to this topic and trying to add a pic don't work either.

Screenshot of how it looks. Basically can click all you like on buttons but only the X to clsoe window has any effect.

I can upload the pictures. In Forum Actios - General Settings - Misc I can see my uploaded images. I can't access or use them though because they are uploaded per reply.

Thanks for the additional info - for the time being, all I can recommend is that you use a standalone browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) for uploading stuff to the forums. It may be that this is an inherent limitation of the Steam Browser itself.

We can't access regular forum to upload stuff without going through Steam since it won't let us log in any other way.

You should be able to log into the forum with your Steam credentials.
