I'm trying to get a picture to show up under my name to the left of every post..all i get is my name and "registered user". I added a picture in my account settings, and it shows up there.... just nowhere else. What the heck am i doing wrong??
Thanks in advance!

On the left upper side of the main page is a button that says "User CP". Click that. On the left side under "Settings and Options", there is a button that says "Edit Avatar". Go there, and under option 2, you can upload an avatar image from your computer. Hope that helps,

Lee

Okay - just some observations and confusion here.

Several years back, the first few postings on this thread (and per the title of the thread) on how to attach an image were accurate.

The previous method (as described at that time) for attaching an image involved clicking the attach icon, browsing to a location on your PC and uploading said image. Now - though hovering over the icon spawns a balloon which says 'Insert Image - by default it now brings up a dialogue box which says, 'Please enter the URL of your image.' URL's are defined as web addresses, and this does not accurately reflect a local PC and file location; many people have images on their local hard drive and not at an external website like Photobucket or a Kodak gallery or something.

I tried to 'path' the image in that dialogue box (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\My New One\FinishedBack.jpg) and all I see is the path - and the location of my image is not a true URL.

However, it does appear the 'Manage Attachments' option toward the bottom under 'Additional Options' will allow you to browse to a local folder/location where your images reside, and attach them similar to what this original thread described.

Regarding editing and deleting posts, I've discovered that after a few hours, you can no longer edit or delete a post. This is commented on within this thread, but I didn't notice any 'official' announcement or change to that feature - not a big deal. As one Moderator did indicate, you can request a moderator to remove a post via a Private Message - and maybe they'll edit it for you too. (Though I could see where that could be tedious and time-consuming for them; they're busy enough doing the great job they do of moderating!)

Not trying to be contentious or anything here; just relating some observations after I had trouble uploading an image to a P.M. recipient. (It had been a long while since I uploaded an image, and things have
changed!)

Thanks for letting me comment!

TEST image upload via 'Manage Attachments' feature.

Okay - that worked.

And if that above wasn't enough, I totally missed the related thread HERE!

But I'm up to speed now!

Thanks for the great site and great support! (Even when I find myself ignorantly missing some of it!)

Actually none of this is true. There is no such button. I've been attempting to find a 📎 button, the button you are talking about, and they simply are not there. I've tried over and over again. There isn't even an option to attach a file through the "advanced options"...why is it so complicated for something that should be so simple!?

Actually there is, third button from the right side of the top of the 'quick reply' bar.

You might note that this thread is 11+ years old and there are several more recent threads about this, but the instructions are current. You can look at any number of threads with pictures, videos and links added by a wide variety of users, so perhaps its not the system.

btw, a simple ask will typically yield better results for you than a bit of a rant.
