Hi,

Have had trouble adding a photo to a reply and see that others have had too.  What is the process?  Thanks,  Larry

One simple way is to locate the photo on some other web site (I use Flickr), and embed the picture's link into the message, thus:



I use the image tag (the second icon in the second line in the editor, below the italics icon) and paste the link between the opening and closing tags.

Your mileage may vary.

The other way is to expand the advanced options, below the editing window, and attach an image to the message. I've never tried this before, and I don't see a button to complete the attachment, but I'm going to hit post and see if it shows up here:

Thanks, I'll give it a try sometime later today and let you know.  I tried copy and paste earlier, but somehow the copy got lost in the shuffle.  Larry

I have tried about 50 times, from my own images and from a website.  Same result, I cannot paste the image.  I left click the "insert image" icon above, right click in between the two thingamebobs.  The paste option appears , within the options window, but is in a light color (blocked) and can't be selected . Help, I know I'm a cyber clutz, but this is driving me nuts!!

I've never been able to figure out that Insert Image feature either.  Maybe Rhett can enlighten us.
I just use the attachment (click Additional Options below the replay box.  If you are trying to insert a picture from the web you would have to save it to your computer first.

Try this experiment: pick a web-hosted picture, and paste the URL in to a message here on two separate lines, separated by a blank line (this way, I can see the link you're trying to enter, and the result of the tagging.)

Highlight the second of the URLs, and click the image button above (the second in the toolbar). The image tags should surround your URL, and when you preview, you should see your picture.

Here's an example of what it should look like when you're done:

It should be just that simple.

Yep, that worked.  That's an MZ TS250/5 in all it's hideous glory!!  Still wish I could make the insert button work though,

Europe came out with some amazing machines with two wheels - the latest place to do so, is China - there are some really odd bikes coming out of the that county.
