I'm sure there was an option in the upload interface that used an input HTML element with a type file, and that's what I'm missing now. Whether it was uploaded by SO and hosted elsewhere isn't relevant to my question. The important thing is that the interface become "fancier" and useless for no reason. | |

As far as I know, we've never hosted user-contributed images ourselves. Could you provide me more detail (perhap with an edit of the question) about your previous workflow and how the new dialog box breaks that? | |

This is actually false. The functionality allowed direct upload to SO site, no third party involved. So, I'm guessing this is gone forever? And no, my clipboard doesn't work like that, and Ctrl-G on my system cancels the last action (I spent few days to write a user script to remove this nonsense from SO site). sx.el doesn't address this problem because there is no API for image upload. Besides, sx.el crashes Emacs every once in a while, so it's not a really good option, unless I feel very adventurous.
