How do we insert an image in our forum post?

Whenever I click on the "Insert Image" icon all it seems to do is place the following in the body of my message:
[  img  ]  [  /img  ]

Nothing else is appearing that enables me to browse to an image and attach it.
Where or what is the next step?  

Thanks

[MrC]

See attached image.

Or host the image somewhere and...

Code: [Select]

[img]...insert the address here[/img]
For instance,

Code: [Select]

[img]http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/Themes/default/images/smflogo.png[/img]will show this:


If you don't already have access to a web server you can use a service like Imageshack or Photobucket.

It is also possible to send an image from MC to JRiver's pix01.com service and use the image link here. Here are JimH's instructions: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=10029.msg280425#msg280425

Thank you MrC, but my Additional Options is lacking the Attach option.
The only Additional Options available to me are:


Notify me of replies                                                                          Lock this topic
Return to this topic
Dont use smileys


  [ I am missing the Attach option - which for you, appears - but for me does not. ]

Requesting Moderator Assistance: Am I lacking the permission to attach?

Something about earning your wings is coming to mind.

(I am not a moderator, but I guess the forum software may be programmed to not expose all features to new users. In addition, a certain amount of posts may be required.)

My suggestion should work in any case.

Thank you AlexB, will have to use your workaround until something or someone allows me to post images.

I am missing the option to post images


Have been a forum member since July 24, 2010 with 17 posts.
Am presuming that sufficient time has passed.

Any chance a moderator could enable the forum software to let me attach images from my hard drive, instead of my having to archive and retrieve the image from some remote web site?
Thanks!

Bump request.

No.  I don't know how.

No.  I don't know how.

Thank you for trying, Jim.
