Help, how do I post an image?  Right above this box where you type in your post is a button that says "insert image".  But when I click on it, it only shows this: (http://).  I was thought when you click that it takes you to a spot to drop in an image.  Thanks...

Rule #10 - Members must have 20 posts before being able to post pictures.

There is a gate for Rules, just above this gate.  It is a really good idea to read them all.

There are two options:  insert, or attach image.   Insert only works after you exceed 20 forum posts.  Attach should work right away.

Insert points to an external link with html code, either side of the image host link, to let the software know to display the image:  [ img ] image link [ /img ]   (without the spaces)

Under the text box that you type into is Attachments and other options.
If you click on that, it enables you to upload images from your own hard drive; by clicking on the Choose File icon.

You can even attach an image and then display it larger by using the insert function.  If you click "quote" on this reply (and keep the post dialog box open without finishing your reply) you can see how my image was imbedded.   You will see the link to an inserted image, but not the attached image.  Except, with this post the my inserted image points to my attached image.


Inserted image directly below.  Attached image at bottom of post:
