Photos in the thread text

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??

A now puzzled Luddite.....

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.

Judging by all the dancing roos, I suspect you have. It's almost like having Big Mike back.

I suspect that the basic editor is the default setting when we joined.

Glad to have been able to help.

Rob,

I am behind my computer now and I was going to say "please check the thread Message Editor Interface settings?" but you beat me to it.

Good to see more and more people find their way around the forum!
