Tried to post a picture, can someone point me to what I'm not doing correctly. What do you do after you type in the image URL? The picture comes up when I hit Preview, but is there another button that for some reason or another is not coming up for me and my 'antique' here? I had no trouble doing a picture before using Imageshack as the host . Seems like there is something missing to insert the picture or take it to the body of the post....(I've tried to post this as positively as I can, sorry if it is misconstrued as "whining"......I'm just trying to learn.)

I was having the same problem last night trying to figure out how to post my Avatar (little picture under my username on the left side of each post).
 
It seemed as though it was not turned on for picture posting.
 
I ended up posting it on my website and then putting that URL in the http line under settings-edit profile-select avatar.

Thanks Art......I guess it would be helpful if someone would inform us as to what is 'turned on' and what is 'turned off'......It could prevent 'mistaken frustration' from being misconstrued as "whining"...........That is really my point about having things 'simpler and more 'self explanitory' not everybody can just punch this button and that button to make things work......It's fine for the younger generation of computer whizes but what about the older guys (my dads age for instance) that likes fooling around with stuff but doesn't have the intuition to just 'start pushing buttons'.........

Yes, pictures work the same way as before. Looks like the button changed, though. It is now a picture of a tree (7th from left on top).
 
Takes a bit of time though...and when the pop-up says "please be patient while the image loads" click okay and be patient.

George, I got that far fine......the preview loaded fine........o.k. so what happens on your end when you hit Preview...It says "Please be patient...." I click on O.k. Then what is the next step after it loads.....does it just automatically go back to the body of the post? If so, that's what mine is NOT doing.... The preview will sit there all day long if I let it.....Thanks

After you hit preview, the "patient" window comes up and you click okay, from there the preview is loaded. Okay, so we are that far.  
 
Now all you need to do is click okay on the lower right hand of that preview screen. It should then take you back to your post reply screen. From there, just click the post button and you're go to go.
