I see your image and the thumbnail in post #9, works just like it should. :up:
When you want to place the image, be sure to use the correct IMAGE button. Seems there are 2, and the one on the right hand group does nothing.
attachment.php

This little guy is the one you should be using - the mountains and sun icon. It opens a popup window that you can paste your link into.

Gentlemen
Thanks for the , apparently, much needed effort to explain how to "put a picture in ones posted text" ! There are so many missing pics or links that does'nt work in these DIYaudio pages, like Jan's above in #6.
Trouble is, you confuse matters more !
Examples:
Post #2 above: "There is a work around for this. Looks like this".....
I ask: what looks like this ? Is this attached, embedded, URL'ed, wrapped, or IMG'ed ?? (phrases that you use). And what is that thumbnail below ? Why is it there ? Why is it needed ?

Could we have a step-by-step instruction with text-and-pics of each step in the process of "putting a picture in ones posted text" so that it stays there for all to read ?

Could I take this opportunity to recommend data-reduction of your pictures, prior to posting. These days, a pic. could easily gulp up 6-8 MB and will be a millstone to load and view.
Irfanview is excellent at this, and is freeware. Select "Image / resize / and e.g. some typical screen resolution. This will cook down your pic to a few hundred KB w/o really affecting quality as viewed on a computer screen.

Yes, many folks can't do a <1Meg JPG these days, and IrfanView is the bee's-knees.

#1: the current attachment system is going-away "soon", because the whole forum software smells like 2003, and we are promised a New Improved forum chassis and interface coming up. If we got 14 years without much direct step-by-step, maybe best not to start now, but wait-and-see what the New Forum brings.
