When you start a post, click on the little picture icon - it looks like there is a tree in it (third from the right) and it is right next to the one that looks like a movie strip. You should have a box pop up that says from computer or from url. Mine always defaults to "from url" so I have to click on "from computer". From here, click "choose file". Click on the pictures you want to select, then click "upload files". After each image, I hit return (it will show up in brackets and say attach some other things then a bracket. I usually hit enter after each picture because it allows a line of space between each picture rather than having them touch.) Then post away! I think you can select multiple at a time...

Just curious, is this picture posting method still working? I have always posted exactly as Jenn described, but now it doesn't work for me I'm just curious if others are having issues???

It seems to be working on this end... what error message, if any, are you receiving?

Nice pic I am not getting an error message. I click Insert Image, find image on my computer and then click Upload File(s) and it looks as if they are uploading, but nothing shows up in my message. I don't get the little "ATTACH....." in my message, so I know it didn't upload. The only thing I can think of is maybe Windows updated a security setting or something preventing the upload from working? I'm expecting you to answer about Windows security Rob. It may just fix itself by my next visit - lol. I don't have any important pics to post right now.

I am on the latest Windows update, so I dont think that is an issue. If you are using Chrome, trying the upload again. At the bottom left of the window, you should see the % progress of the upload. Let me know if you can see that and what % does it stop at?

Thanks!

Haha, now it worked! Not sure why I had so much trouble the past few times I've tried... But to answer you Rob, I don't believe the % progress was showing when it failed. I looked down there and it never said anything, but it paused and looked like it was uploading. IDK, anyway it seems to be working now. Thanks!

LOL. Well, at least the picture is showing
