    Hello everyone, I just joined there forum and I tried to insert an image and I am having a problem. I uploaded the image successfully. After reading the instructions on how to insert a picture in a post, it says to click on the arrow next to the attachment icon and there will be a list to choose from, but when I click the arrow there is no list, it just brings up the upload window. What am I am doing wrong? Regards.

    Hey Junior,

    I am not sure what instructions you read. Here are the basics of Attaching an image from:http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=725


    To attach your images (or other attachments)

    While posting a new thread or replying to a thread:

    1) Scroll down to below the message area into the box called "Additional Options". Click on the "Manage Attachments" button. A window will pop up.

    2) Click on a "Browse" button and locate the file you wish to upload from your computer. On machines running Windows, this means going through the folders on your computer, locating the file, selecting it and pressing the "Open" button.

    3) Click on the "Upload" button to physically transfer the file from your computer to the database.

    4) Click on "Close this window" and then either click on "Submit New Thread" or "Submit Reply" (or complete writing the content of your post before doing so).


    Note, a thumbnail of your image will appear in your post and it can be clicked to open a full size image. The image will not appear in a preview.

    You may need to wait quite a long time between steps 3 and 4 for the image to upload - this can be several minutes if you have a slow dial-up connection. If you click 'close this window' before the upload is finished, the image won't appear.
