(btw - the preview of this very post is very wired)
👆
another bbCode interferenceAfter the spoiler a resized image is posted, inside the spoiler the code was posted to be able to read the real code used for the small image.
The image is not visualized.
The content of the code box in the spoiler has been modified by the software.
The image was visible in the preview.The following image is how the smaller image, the size of the example image, the avatar as it is intended to be seen on desktop should be displayed above in a second image that is not there.

#Attachment
Dragging a video file into the drag and drop field of a comment does work.
The only way to use the bbCode for attachments is as shown:bbCode bug?While creating this comment, a strange behavior that looks like at least a kind of #bbCodeBug showed up in the preview.
The actual bbCode, enclosed in the bbCode code brackets is not displayed as is.
Instead the attachment brackets changes into video brackets. It looks like there is an error in the order of processing the information. Probably the attachment, depending on the extension, is classified\identified and the best bbCode for the file is selected. Than the code bracket command kicks in and results in the display of the code in the text.
ALText options like with the[img][/img]bbCode is as of now [2026.01] not available:[attachment=https://tupambae.com/attach/2]This would be the ALTtext version if it were available as it is for images in the bbCode editing style.[/attachment]
Video ALTtext and description of the observed behavior
The following explication of the content of the video is kind offTopic in this comment about attachments and how to implement them:
A small screen movie that shows how ALTtext is displayed and how unfortunate it is as of now that selecting the ALTtext button the image shows up in the very same browser tab. Looks like opening a new browser tab for that purpose would be more reasonable.
Also, there is no ALTtext available in the simple image view.
Doesn't feel sound.

Can you please have a look and some how spoiler your inicial post.
As is it's terrible in the stream and bbCode issues are pilling up.
Also, this server pretends to stay for a while on old stable to be able to compare, see changes and so on.
So actually it doesn't look reasonable to add strange behavior of things from this servers point of view [2024.12].

Actually, that very long post is that long because it's a quote share that does includa a quote share itself.
Both have spoilers and they break up in the reshare. So that's part of the #bug.
Right now I can't think of a solution and am not sure if it makes sense to solve that "problem" when the idea is to show it in the first place.
