You can now upload pictures in a post. Here is an example.

Click on picture to enlarge.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. There is a button that says "Upload Attachments" beneath the bottom left corner of the text box, right about the Smileys :) Click on it.

2. Drag and drop your photos

3. Click "Add Files"

4. Voila you're done! Your photo will show up in the post!

Hey @Black Girl With Long Hair I don't see a "upload attachment" button at all when I try. I do see a button in the menu bar while writing a post to embed a photo via url. FrownConfused

@Black Girl With Long Hair I do not see the button either. The only thing beneath my text box is smileys and the submit reply & cancel buttons.

@afroniquely | shae  @bright_like_diamonds I'm sorry to hear this! I'll get our programmer on it and try to have it figured out this weekend. In the meanwhile, you can still add photos to your posts using the Insert/Edit Image button.

It looks like this:

(Click on the photo to enlarge)

So 1. Go to the photo you want to post (it has to be online somewhere. Like Facebook, instagram, Twitter, Fotki, Flickr, etc). 

2. Right click it and select "Copy image url"

3. Come back to the text box and select the Insert/Edit Image button

4. Enter the URL.

5. Click "Insert"

And there you have it! That should tide you over until I get this figured out…

This forum thing is not working out for me. I cannot add a reply to any forum. I have to click "quote" and then "cancel" to clear the message box, then I can type and post something. I tried to upload a pic and it let me "upload attachment", "add file", "start upload" but then nothing happens. It is at zero forever. I also tried dragging and dropping, but that didn't work. I have subscribed to the forum (I am assuming because at the bottom of the page it says "unsubscribe") but in my profile it says that I have not subscribed to anything. I tried to send this to someone instead of posting here, but the Contact Us page says NOT FOUND. HELP!

I am really upset… I cannot get to upload my photos. I have spent so much time on the computer figuring it out. I tried what you said about clicking the insert/edit icon… but my pic is not online, it's saved on my laptop. Does that mean I cant get to upload photos any other way? I don't even see a url. I am lost…  need help….

@Anju you'll have to upload your picture online. Either through photobucket, imageshack, even facebook etc. These sites will give you the url to put your picture here
