Hello,
Is there an easy way to post a picture onto a post or do I have to first upload it to another web site?
It seems to me that pictures speak a thousand words but not if I can't be bothered logging into some photo site (which I dont use anyway) and then have to cross reference my post to that site. Its all too much like hard work!
Have I missed a lesson in postin a photo in one easy step?

So, you do have to have access to an image posting site to use this feature?
It looks like there is no way to simply attach an image directly from our own computer files?
Most forums, using the format this forum is now using, have a way to simply insert a jpg file from one's own computer. Makes it a lot easier for those of us who are not set up with one of those image hosting sites.

If the pic is on your computer (or on a removable disk), you can post it without going through a hosting site. Just follow the steps I outlined above.Jeff in north Texas wrote:So, you do have to have access to an image posting site to use this feature?

It does not work for me. When I click on "IMG", it enters (/Img) in the message box. A little instruction shows up above the box that shows I have to enter a bunch on url http stuff to attach a photo.
It should have a new small box show up that allows me to search through my computer for any photo I want to attach from any location in my computer. This is not happening.
As an example of what I am talking about, go to Gordon's PWA forum. I can easily attach any photo saved in my computer on that forum.
This forum does not seem to allow that. Or, I am just too dumb to figure this out.
