Posting photos

[toolbox]

I have been to the FAQ section and downloaded the posted instructions for inserting photos. However, my message screen does not have an insert image button. Please help me out here.

There should be a paperclip button that says "Attach files" just below the lower left corner of the new message box. Try that,

Thank you. The FAQ should be updated for us tunnel vision types.

Benson, the paper clip does not appear on direct response message page.

If I am not mistaken, you should be able to open the image file you want to post, copy it from its source and then simply paste it into your thread response. You may also opt to use the insert image radio button.

This screen shot shows two ways you can attach an image to the message.

And the copy and paste previously mentioned, so 3 possibilities.

As seen below, the radio button is asking me for a web link.

The direct response page has no clip and the radio does the same thing. I can obviously attach stuff on this forum page. Something is screwy.

I went to my own Direct Messages page and saw the same thing - no "Attach Files" button, the image attachment button seems to require a web address, and I cannot copy/paste an image into the DM text pane.

I somehow managed to eliminate my ability to add text here so it is appearing within the quote block....ignore that. I was however trying to add images using the attach file button, and I did so without any problems as you can see below. There must be a configuration issue that affects some PCs. I am running the most current version of Windows 11. My browser is MS Edge, also a current version.

I understand now. There was a permission that needed to be changed, which I have done. It should work now.

Thanks so much!

Dan, you solved it! Now the insert image button now allows attachment of an image file, and an "Attach files" button now appears at the bottom of the DM page just as it does here. Thanks, Dan!.
