Hi gbm,

Looks like you figured it out as I can see you posted an image now.

For the benefit of anyone else with the same issue...

I must admit - it's not the most obvious process! I plan to add a special "frequently asked questions" section soon for stuff like this that keep popping up...

Tick the "attach files to this post" box then when you click the "post" / "post reply" button you'll be taken to a second screen where you can add your files / photos.

Please note that if you want to attach photos in a reply to an existing thread DON'T use the "Show Quick Reply" option - use the "Post Reply" option which takes you to the richer text editor.

Also note that images 262,144 bytes or less will be shown as thumbnail images, any larger than they will be shown as a link.

Cheers,
Gavin
