    If you scroll down to the "Additional Options" section near the bottom of the page on which you're writing your post, there's a button that says "Manage Attachments". That button is used for attaching files (mainly pictures) to your posts. If you click it, you'll get a window that lets you select a picture either from your computer or from somewhere else on the web. To upload a picture from your computer, click Browse, find and select the picture on your computer, click Open, and then click Upload to send it to the forums and add it to your post. You can click Browse again and select another picture if you'd like to upload more than one. If the picture is too big (too wide or too tall) then it will be automatically resized, but the picture won't be accepted at all if its file size is too big.

    If you already have the picture online somewhere, you can either use the Manage Attachments button for this also, which will copy it to our server and show it the same way as pictures you upload from your computer, or you could use the Insert Image button, which is located above the area where you type your post and looks like this: [​IMG]. If you use the Insert Image button instead, the image will be loaded directly from wherever it's originally hosted (instead of copying it to our server). Two reasons for doing it that way are that it doesn't have the size limitations of the other method, and you can use it to insert pictures anywhere in your post (instead of just at the bottom). However, using "Insert Image" requires you to upload the image somewhere else yourself.

    If you're still unable to get it to work, or if you have any more questions, please let me know. Thanks for posting!
