This is a walkthrough to explain how to add photos/images into a post.

The first thing to do is make sure that you have the photos/images you want to insert into the post on your PC before creating the post text.
Ensure the photos/images are the correct file type acceptable for posting. This is shown when you go to select your file/image (shown in the image below)

Start by opening a normal 'New Topic' post.
Once you have done that add the text that you want to include in the post. (it is OK to do all the text first then add the photos at the end)
Once you have added the text in the post click on 'Click or drag files here to attach them.' at the bottom below the text box, as  below.

At this point you can either upload all the photos/images one after the other until you have all the ones you want in the completed post or you can do them as you go with the text, i.e. do a block of text then add the photos/images.

The way to upload, using the image below, is as follows:

Once you have clicked on the link 'Click or drag files here to attach them' a box will popup for you to find and select the file/image you want to add

Once you have selected your file/image it will automatically show at the bottom of the text box.

Now click on the blue arrow, in the box that opens click on 'Insert' to insert the file/image into the post.

You will see that {attach id=xx]x.jpg[/attach} is now showing in the post, to add more files/images just repeat the steps above.

Once you are happy that you have all the photos/images in the post with the text you want then just click on the 'Post' button to add it to the forum.

To insert an image into a line of text just click in the text at the point where you want the image to appear and then click on the blue arrow, in the box that opens click on 'Insert' to insert the file/image into the line of text.

Once again if you're all finished click on 'Post'

If everything has gone OK then you should see a post similar to the one below
