Photos in the thread text

I am about to start a long thread on the full restoration of my Canadian Ford Lynx II Mk.III, and I thought the inclusion of the photos within the text would be a better reading option.

Rick,

This has been a question for me for a long time as well, see Message Editor Interface settings?

Thankfully, Anthony came up with the answer:

1. Click on Post Reply
2. Type you text
3. Click on the paperclip button on the tool bar above the Message window
4. The popup screen Manage Attachments opens: select your picture and click on Upload and then Close this window
5. Click on the paperclip button again and a small window will pop up for you to click on the insert (all) button.

Try it for yourself a few times, I can always delete your tests.

PS: I have updated the Posting Images thread in the Forum Readme section.

HTH,
Hanno
