Posting Pictures?

[scoly]

Have tried to post pictures with no result. Process:
1. Manage attachments
2. Browse to pic on my computer
3. Download
4. Back to screen for posting
5. Cannot find a paper clip icon
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Steve

There is a system limit of 97.5KB for each uploaded file. Are you sure your file is succssfully uploading?

If it fails, a notice will appear at the top of the manage attachments window. It's not particularly prominent, so you may not have noticed it.

Had a couple that gave me that message so resized and tried again. After upload it showed "Current Attachments" and had the . Just don't get the paper clip for attaching.
Thanks for the thought.

What type of file are you uploading? If it is not one of the supported types (ie jpg, gif etc) it may still appear to upload, but won't show in your list of available files to attach.
You can view the files you have successfully uploaded by going to User CP, and then selecting 'attachments' (at the very bottom). This will tell you if the file was uploaded successfully - BUT previously uploaded pictures can't be accessed for a new post - you must upload and attach a picture in one step. That is you must upload using the paperclip, then click the paperclip again and your picture should be listed in the drop-down.

It would be nice to re-use previously uploaded pics in a new posting but it seems this is not possible.

In the posting box the paperclip is located as I have marked it.

The image is a jpg and has been resized to fit the requirements.
John,
When I go to post a reply I only have a "title"area and a blank area for the message. There is no area that you have shown with the paper clip, underline, centering, etc.. Any suggestions?

Go to User CP, Select Edit options and scroll down to the bottom. Under miscellaneous options I expect you have 'Basic Editor'' selected. Change it to the enhanced WYSIWYG editor and you should see the options as per John's image.

Thanks for the help. John's pic combined with Alans instruction solved the problem.
