Thanks @rjb, but isn't that this same thread?
I've checked the tags, tried with img and attachment (see test viewtopic.php?t=164535)
File size of ~200KB
But still not joy.

Please can you/anyone be more specific?

If it helps I am using Firefox.

Click on the Attachments tab, then the Add files button. :wink:
The attachments tab is just below this text box.

Thanks for help from @rjb and @gaz I can now post pics using Edge. Not my preferred browser but it works!

I still use a digital camera and download to a PC. Used Photobucket to create links to put a picture on a forum but it's been revamped and no longer provides these links.

How can I add photos now?

Is it Photobucket that's changed or this forum?

What's your order of preference:
• Find out how to get those links into Photobucket?
• Use another service?
• Upload the photos to this forum's server?

Photobucket has certainly changed, not sure about the forum. I want to be able to add a photo to the forum.

I seem to remember seeing a way to add directly from my PC but can't find it.

Dragged the photo and got this

That's the file name

After clicking Add files you should see a dialog box which lets you navigate through your PC's file system to pick the photo that you want.

Do you get this far?

And once you had that file available in the new dialog box did you click Place inline? It should then appear in the main dialog box for entering a post.
