I hope this helps.... lol..sorry,,,guess i should have made the question more specific,,,,as red dog guessed... yes,,i want to get a pic into a post,,,,and,,all i was ending up with was the [attachment] thing in my post,,,which by the way,,was a download link if you put your cursor on it,,and was the same in both the preview,,and actuall post (so i deleted the post)... proceedure i did was to go to the browse button,,select the file,,,,upload the file,,,then clicked on manage current attachments,,select the pic i just uploaded from the dropdown, and click on the icon with the green plus sighn (insert image into text editor) (wow,,,just noticed it gives you all the posts in the thread as well as the reply window...great idea....) went to preview,,,and all i get is the attachment line... will post this,,,and if it does what it has in the past,,,will end up with no pic in the post,,but a link to the pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickitycrate 10 Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Once I post they are automaticlly sent to "My Controls" upper right corner of this page. Click on that and see if it shows your images. This is all new to me. I will do it myself as well. Edited March 5, 2009 by Rickitycrate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
