Use the Full Editor ;)
In the lower area there is a tab with attachments, there you can upload images.

If you have already uploaded the images via an external service provider, you can also integrate them using the image button above.

If you're having trouble posting because your images are "too large", try emailing the image to yourself. Hotmail will give you the option to resize your image before sending, i'm not sure about other emails. That's how I resize my images since my tab does'nt have that option for some reason.

May I pitch into this topic? I too have had problems posting images on the F1M forums. My last attempt was on 31st December, when I responded to the “Better Headers” topic which can be found via this link:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31647
Initially I drafted my post in Windows 10 Word and identified the images on my computer that I wanted to accompany the post.
Then to the F1M post a reply template where I completed a copy and paste of the text that I had written. I then selected the four images that I wanted to accompany my post and attempted to submit the post only to be told that the images were too big. At this point I failed to delete my expletives. :oops: I logged out of the F1M web site and resized the four images using windows 10.
My second attempt to post my text and images was a repeat of first except that when I submitted the template only the last image that I attached was shown on the post where the other three images went is beyond me.
Any enlightenment about what I am doing wrong would be welcomed especially as I can see other forum members posting multiple images on a single post.
Regards,

I storage all my photos in original format and make copy's of them that I resize to 1200 pixels wide. For this I use a free program, XN-View that can do this in a batch so I don't have to resize every picture individually.

They usually come out around 100 KB in size. This one came out as 148 KB (The original picture is 6,60 MB). Lets see if it works here.
