Before you try to include pictures with your posts, confirm that the following setting is correct.
1. In the upper left part of most screens, click the link called USER CP (User Command post).
2. Scroll down to SETTINGS AND OPTIONS, then click EDIT OPTIONS.
3. In the menu, scroll down to THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS
4. Under VISIBLE POST ELEMENTS, the box labeled SHOW IMAGES must be checked.
-------------------------------------
Attaching automatic thumbnail (small) versions of each picture you wish to show.
All of the the thumbnails are displayed at the bottom of your post, and each thumbnail will open up to full size when the reader clicks on it. The thumbnails are created by the forum software - you do not need to do it. The attachment process is relatively simple, but can be confusing at first. Most problems seem to result from not scrolling down far enough!
Before you begin, you must know where each picture is stored on your computer. Then do this.
Write up and post the text of your post as usual. Once the text is posted, continue with these steps.
Go to the bottom of your post
Click EDIT
In the EDIT window, click GO ADVANCED
Scroll way down and click MANAGE ATTACHMENTS
Click BROWSE
In the directory listing, navigate to the first picture and click OPEN. The filename will appear in the BROWSE box.
Repeat BROWSE for multiple pics as desired
Click UPLOAD. Wait for it to be done.
Scroll down and click CLOSE THIS WINDOW
Click SAVE CHANGES
The procedure above shows how to post text and attach pictures, all at the same time. But by starting at Step 2, you can also attach pictures to an existing post. And you can repeat this process at any time to add or delete more pictures.
The forum creates the little thumbnail picture automatically. But the forum does not resize the pictures. If you post a huge picture right out of your camera, the viewer has to scroll back and forth to see it, and this won't make you any friends. Please resize your pictures to something like 640 pixels wide before posting them.
Note to Apple users. If you are posting from an iPad, and perhaps other Apple devices, you can apparently upload only one picture per post. If you try to upload a second picture, either later or at the same time, it will overwrite the first. Sorry, folks.
This may no longer be true with newer Apple devices. Not being an Apple user, I'm not sure if it has changed.
