I'll tell you how I upload pics (there may be other ways). First thing you need is a host site for your pics. Photobucket has now stopped what they call 'third party hosting' so its no longer an option. Anyhow a site called Imgur is the go. Create an account and load the photos you want upload onto that site. It's pretty much self-explanatory how to do it.

Then when the photo is uploaded to Imgur copy the 'direct link' that will be to the right of the photo. Back in the Zone press the 'Img' icon at the top above where your are typing which will insert two 'markers' into your post wherever the cursor was sitting. Paste the direct link address from Imgur between the two image 'markers'. And then just submit the post when ready.

Might sound complicated but its basically how most forums work, just some have a few 'bells and whistles' to do it.

Understood, however there is an upload attachment function here. So why doesn't it work?

Test, thought I should at least pick something motorcycle related ...... never used it previously and hadn't even noticed it ..... but it worked ok for me. I did select the 'place inline' box which inserted it into the body of the post similar to what I'm used too.

All my pics have been uploaded that way, not stored on a third party site. Works a treat, just resize them first.

Nice pic, Freddy.
