I can upload an image to my profile page - but have been unsuccessful in uploading to a forum post.
I have noted that I an "upload image" appears below the browse button on the personal page... I see no such button on the forum page for uploading images.
What am I missing?
TIA

We are not able to support that feature in the discussion forums.
You can either upload a photo to your PP and add a link to your thread or host the photo on a photo site and add a link.

Thanks
Ok - saw the upload button on forum and made the wrong assumption.
What would I type to link to a photo on my PP - for example, sensor photo?

Actually we do have that feature in most forum areas.
Look at the bottom of the page after you hit the "REPLY" button.
Otherwise, the attachment does not show in the Quick Reply window.
The photo name cannot contain any spaces or any characters.
All letters must be lower case including the .jpg
Give this a try.

I have given it a try. There is a browse button - but no upload button.

You need to choose the file attachment in the window and then click "POST REPLY".
That's all.

OK - this is really weird - now I don't see the "browse" button for uploading an image. Could it be a setting in your newsgroup software?
See last image on my PP.

Yours should look something like this depending on which browser you are using.
If not, then something is wrong on your end.

Depends on the forum.
Which forum are you referring too?
http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/in.../index.php
Items for sale does not have the attachment feature and never will.
If you are trying to sell something, then just put a link in the post.

Looks like you were successful in this other thread.

Hopefully everyone can find this feature now as long as they are in the correct forum that allows this.
