Robert:

If your browser shows the toolbar in the reply mode the third icon from the right (looks like a mountain range) allows you to post a picture.

Dear Robert,
There are those here who know better then I, but I'll explain it as how I understand it.
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong.

Right above the textbox that you type your reply in, you will see a toolbar. the 3rd box from the right is a box with a mountain in it.
You click that.
Another textbox opens. In that textbox, you put your picture. Now, how I do that is as follows.
I use photobucket as my picture hosting website. I go there, find my picture, and "copy" the FIRST line under the picture, the "URL" one,
I then "paste" it in that textbox that opened when I click that mountain box.
You are done.

Basically, before in the old forum, I copy and pasted the 3rd line in photobucket, the "IMG" line, and pasted it in the body of the post I was typing. Now, I do almost the same thing, but copy and paste the 3rd line in photobucket and paste it in that new textbox that you get when you click the mountain box instead of your post textbox.

I hope that helped. I'm sure there may be easier ways, but this works for me. If I want to "fix or resize the picture first, I do that in photoshop before i post it to photobucket.

If you don't see the tool bar at all, look directly below where it says "Your Message". If you see a very small downward pointing arrow, click it. This will drop the toolbar down into site. Learned this by accident myself.

If you still don't see it, perhaps your browser doesn't support it. Need to upgrade/change your browser.

Have you tried the drag and drop method yet? This is the easiest for me and sure beats the toolbar approach. However I am not sure if this only works with a Mac.

Tom, I'm at the office and am on IE, I can copy/paste a pic in here but, after I click on "post" I get this message everytime........

There was a problem with some of your input. Please make sure the fields marked in red below are filled in properly.

Now, the strange part is, the message that I just posted is a doc.

Was done using the button on the toolbar, cannot copy/paste an image into here from my IE at work.

I've tried it from home using drag and drop with both IE and Firefox and can't get it to work.

Hey Tom, just noticed you added a 3650 to the Toro fleet! How and when did this come about? Quite a collection you have!
