I'm writing this tutorial to update the one written by Paula many, many years ago. The instructions in that tutorial (it is a sticky on this forum) are obsolete and needed to be updated. The instructions in Paula's post still work, but they are cumbersome and requires membership in an off-site image hoster. Images can now be hosted on THIS site, so that someone viewing a post many years from now will no longer get an "IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE" notice when viewing.
First off, notice the icon circled in red below:
That is the INSERT IMAGE command icon, so click on that icon to bring up the LOAD IMAGE dialog popup. There are two tabs at the top, "From Computer" and "From URL". The "From URL" is used to load images from an off-site hoster. It is recommended that you do NOT use an off-site hosting site, for the reasons stated above. To load an image from your computer, click on the "From Computer" tab at the top. This is what the dialog popup will then look like, ready to upload an image file from your computer:
Click on the "Chose File" box, which will popup a directory of YOUR computer. Simply navigate to your file location, double click on your file (notice the file types limits of .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .gif), then click on "Upload File(s)". Your file will then be uploaded and placed in your posting at the cursor position. It will appear as:
[A TTACH=CONFIG]123456[/A TTACH] (without the spaces in ATTACH, which has to be done to prevent a bogus attach command).
To see how your insertion looks, click on "Preview Post" at the bottom of your post dialog.
