Some people are experiencing problems when they try to post an image. However, just above the text box where you type a reply, are some icons. The third one from the end on the right hand side says, "Insert Image" when you hover your cursor over it. If you click that, optimally you should be presented with two options. One would be to select files from your computer. The second is to post an image directly from a url on the web. If you are choosing the latter option, make sure to click off the Retrieve remote file and reference locally option.

Good luck!

I don't think you are Catholic. Please don't falsely accuse me, thank you.

So, Magenta told you how.

Now for the test.

Come on. Post sum'in'. lol

Funny. I was just about to go look for the Jeopardy theme music, when I remembered you're not American, so you probably either don't know what Jeopardy is, or your Jeopardy theme music is different than ours. (It's a 34 year old game show that ends with 30-seconds of the same music while the contestants write don their final answers.)

That's an example of one of my pictures. My teddy bears balancing my checkbook. :)

A lot of us only get that option. In that case, you have to UPLOAD your picture to some external site somewhere.... and then put that corresponding URL in the IMAGE option Box here.
