How do I include an image in a reply?
I could spell out the sequence of what I'm doing, but I'm obviously doing something wrong, since after the file I designate supposedly "uploads", it doesn't appear when I "preview" my post. I'm obviously not following the correct sequence of actions needed to make my image appear in my reply.
Can somebody state, in summary form, the sequence of actions needed?
I'm talking about a 28K .jpg image, BTW. The FAQ for this forum is useless.

Never mind; I found a workaround. After I upload the image, I go to "Attachments" in the "User CP" and click on the link for the image I just uploaded. I then click on the "Properties" for the image and copy the MBWorld URL for the image. I then go to the reply page, compose my reply, click the "Insert Image" icon, and then paste the MBWorld URL for the image between the {IMG} and {/IMG} tags. Not very elegant, and not something that the casual user would necessarily figure out, but it works.

You can do it that way, but there is an easier way. When you are writing you post (either in reply, or if you are starting a thread), under the text box there is a section called "additional options". Scroll down here to the section called "Attach Files" and click the button marked "Manage Attachments". Another window should appear where you can upload the file. Click on one of the Browse button and select the image file you want to upload and click open. Then, make sure you click the "Upload" Button (This is the part that a lot of people forget), and then the "Close this Window" button. You should see the image file listed under the "Attach File" Section. Then complete your message as normal and the image should appear in your post.
