Below the "Reply to Post" window you will find the "Additional Options" window, click on the "Manage Attachments" button and a window will open that gives you options to upload files from your computer or from a website. Choose your file and hit the upload button.

Alternatively, upload your photo to an off site host, then post the images's URL into your reply using BB code: image url

Some hosts provide a link with the proper code included in the link. http://postimages.org does this; after you upload an image there, a window will open with links from which you copy and paste the "Hotlink for forums" link to your reply here.

Regards,
Greg

My apologies, I should have also mentioned that members need to have a post count of 30, before they can use the "Manage attachments" feature.
Hosting off site is still an option until the post count is met.

Nice, and good job!

It took me a lot of attempts to get going on the picture posting years ago. it still isn't easy on some sites with a different format.

Thanks for the reminder on the # of posts, I guess I have a few more to go!

I am not familiar with the off site host thing, either! I will have to look into it.. LOL!
