How do you add images to a post?

Type the message in the box as per usual below, then hit "Go Advanced"

Then below the box, look for "manage attachments" and a pop-up window will open. From there navigate to the file to upload. Half MB cap on an upload.

I've been able to upload the attachments but how do I get the image to display in a post? Thanks.

When I upload an image file (.jpg or .png for example), they just do. So, I assume the forum considers the file type as the uploader does nothing to trigger this display or not that I've ever seen.

Using Safari on an iMac, when I select the Submit reply or New thread button, the first attached image below shows up to allow entry of the post. Note the bottom half. Select Manage Attachments to get the next window to show up (second screenshot below). Select Choose File to get your file. Then you have to select Upload to get it to upload. Note that there is a size restriction, so possibly your file is too big.

On a similar note....I have been around here a long time, yet I have never understood how to pick out a specific quote in another poster's text. Is there an easy way to just pick out a paragraph or a sentence or two? I am assuming there is, and I have just never figured it out! LOL

. Hit “Quote” and it brings up the whole quote. But all that can edited and those brackets and QUOTE symbols can be also cut and pasted for different pieces spaced out in the reply.

Simply edit their post in the quoted section and delete the portions you don't want

That's what I have been doing...I just thought there may be an easier way to pick out specific areas.
