I have long since given up trying. I am too old and stupid to understand what to do.

I just try to add friendly posts on subjects like new MFH kits these days.

I find this site very easy when it comes to adding pictures.

Click on Add files


pic3.jpg
Choose what files to upload


pic4.jpg
Click on Place inline after putting the cursor at the place in the text where the pic should be.

I think it's the sizing thing that trips up most people. If I read correctly earlier in the post, did Eric make the allowable pic size bigger? That should help. But the trick I always used to make my pics smaller was to email them to myself. Hotmail gives you the option of making pics/files smaller when sending them.

I can only speak for myself, but I would post more pics, but who has the time to resize everything? It all feels like 1993. I’d gladly kick in a few bucks if I didn’t have to resize another pic.

I found the key to be sizing the images just under the limit so that they appear as big as they can on screen in the site. Save as a gif file. I am lucky enough to have Photoshop at my disposal but not everyone does, and I'm sure this makes it hard to post pics !
