« on: March 28, 2016, 22:06:45 PM »

Can someone tell me how to insert pictures into a post please. I've clicked on "Insert Image" but it doesn't allow me to select any pictures from my pc. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Keith,
            I had the same problem. Apparently go to the bottom of the page to attachments, choose file and post. I don't think a preview is possible so just pot luck and go for it.

Right! it's a bit weird that you can't see it in preview,........and If I go back to edit it I can't see any pictures either..........So how do I get text in between different pictures? Hmmmmmmm

Thanks anyway John.

Hi Keith,

Ok, glad you figured that out (thanks John).

You can't put text between the photos, as they are not "in line" with the write box if you see what I mean, but stored below it.
I had a look at a module to do it, like it was on the "old" forum, but it is not working :( Just need to spend a bit more time on it.

I'll try to have another look this week.
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Now I understand,.....I think?

We still have to reduce the size of the pictures to upload them. I had thought I'd read somewhere that the new forum would re-size pictures :-[ Silly me!
