errrr, you are probably wondering about the image: live delivery of explosive ordnance (eight High Drag bombs) by F-111C, amongst the last times 'The Pig' flew with a load aboard, as they were retired from service shortly afterwards.

Mike I hit reply and there is a tool bar above the box I'm typing in and the paperclip is to the right of the white smiley.

OK... I must be really dumb: all I'm seeing when I hit 'reply' is a window headed 'Reply to Thread' in a green bar, below which is a Title box (in white) then a Message box (in white), below which is a 'post icons' bar, and below that, 'Submit Reply' or 'preview post'. Below all of that is another green bar with 'Additional Options'.

Can't see any tool bars with a paperclip, so what am I doing wrong?

I don't know on my screen I have your green line, then title box, then Message: below that I have a large blue rectangle with the white message box in it. In the top of the blue are two rows of tool bar and to the right are the smilies, then underneath the same as you described
I couldn't work out how to copy my screen so I photographed it.

Mike, Just look to the right of the FONTS and Sizes boxes in the part where you type your message. There is a A then a white smiley and then the paperclip.

Click on the paperclip and up will come Manage Attachments, choose what you want to upload, ADD it then wait until it is listed then select that photo listing and click on the paperclip again and Hey Presto it works.


Thanks to everyone who has helped solve this mystery.

Regards Ric.

Ric,

I greatly appreciate the advice, but as you can see from the attached, there ain't no tool bars and boxes on my screen, so no paperclip.

The image of the screen posted by Mr Pearce (thank you! Very helpful) shows a raft of icons/tool bars that just don't appear on my current screen. I sometimes wondered how people were getting icons into their posts, but hadn't paid much attention to finding out.

So what do I need to switch on to get all those helpful tool bars, please Hanno??

Mike,

Thanks for posting your problem here. Sadly, I don't have an answer ready on my smart phone so I will have to look into it. Stay tuned!

I was also missing that task bar. Now I have it. Here is what you do:
1: Go to User CP at top left of page.
2: On menu on left of page go to Edit Options
3: On edit menu go to bottom of page to "Miscellaneous options" and change editor interface to "enhanced". You are likely on basic right now. Then hit save changes at the bottom of the page.

I used to be pretty computer illiterate but I am starting to get the hang of it.
