I've been trying to put photos on here since I joined but it doesn't happen. I can see the small photo where I've uploaded it but that as far as it gets !

You are not alone.....

Judi is more of an expert on this but I see that she uses a upload service - https://i.postimg.cc/ - then when it give you a code put it in between the image tabs {img}{/img} replacing the curly brackets as square ones []  they won't display in a message. Quick way is to click the Add Image icon (2nd row left hand side)

Other hosts are available - https://www.google.com/search?q=image+hosting+platforms

Yes you need to host it first. Postimages.org does a direct link which needs putting between  but it also offers "thumbnails for forums" which you just paste the whole code and are OK

Direct link

Thumbnail 

Super  user tye image tabs on here are square.  I find getting the code in the middle of the tabs hard on a tablet so usually type my own.  On a tablet hit the key to the left of the space bar then the key to the left of Z to see the square brackets

Omg it worked, Mars attacks

Logging on to my laptop is about the most complication I can deal with...

I've been changing a couple of things with regard to the question of uploading images without the need to mess around with Google and the image hosting platforms.

This is a test: C3PO is in a dilemma

Here's how it works:
[attachment id=1 msg=6419]
In your post click on Attachments and other options as normal and choose your picture file. Then click on "(Insert Attachment 0)" This will add the attachment id line to your post.

If you click on Preview before posting the message will be Attachment has not been uploaded yet. It/they will only upload when you click on Post


Really big pictures might not work because there is a size limit, a warning will pop up to tell you. I'll check back now and again and adjust if necessary.

No, you need to click (Insert Attachment 0) next to where you chose your file. Then it inserts a line of code into the message box.

Trying again

Judi you need to put the image inline not as an attachment at the bottom.
Here's how it works

---

Text for image if you want to describe it...

1) Choose file from your computer
2) Click Insert Attachment 0
3) Line of code appears:

[attachment id=0 msg=6430]

Any further text if necessary....

Click post

---

and that's it - the image is "inline" not at the bottom under the ruled line.

And you can add  a maximum of 4 images per post up to the current size limits by using the more attachments option.

[attachment id=0 msg=6432]  [attachment id=1 msg=6432]                                              [attachment id=2 msg=6432]


[attachment id=3 msg=6432]

and space them out as necessary
