Lately I've had several people asking (in private messages, emails, and in threads) how I post those photos inline, rather than in those little "photo windows". I decided to open a thread on it here, so others can find it if they want. (Also to save effort... it's easier to have a thread than it is to respond to all the messages). I came across it by accident, the first time I added a photo. Here's a thread with an example of what I mean -- see the photos in the first post here:

First, I reduced the size of my photos to be around 200KB (or smaller). (I use Microsoft Paint to resize photos... it's free with Windows, and easy to use). Then to add them to the forum posting, here are the steps:
1. I click on the center icon in the upper right corner of the "new posting" window (It's got an A inside a little box, and it's the middle one of three icons there, in between the smiley face and some other icon). That opens the "advanced editor".
2. That "advanced editor" has a bunch of editing icons on a bar across the top of the edit window. There's an "image icon" about two thirds of the way across the bar (on my screen anyway). It's the one that looks like a little picture of two mountains with a sun or moon. On my screen it's the tenth one from the right edge (though for some windows it's positioned a little differently). If you roll your mouse pointer over it, it's the one that says "image".
3. I click on that little icon (the Image icon described above), and it pops up a window for uploading an image.
4. Inside that window, I click the "upload" tab, then
5. click the "Choose File" button.
6. At this point you get another window, where you navigate to find your photo file and select the photo you want, and click the "Open" button at the bottom of that window.
7. Then click the "Send it to the server" button. (This button is right below the "Choose File" button). That places the image file inline in the posting window, wherever you had the cursor (where you were last typing).
8. Finish composing your post. You'll see the image "inline" at this point in the editing process, but you'll also see some indicators of "attachments" or "inserts" at the bottom of the posting. Those indicators give you a few editing buttons, one of which is "remove", allowing you to remove that image, if you need to for any reason. I discovered that if you try to have more than 10 images in a single post, it will give you an error when you Submit the post. (That's how I discovered the "remove" button).
9. Once you're done editing your post, click Submit to submit it to the forum. Voila! (You'll see that the insert/attachment indicators at the bottom are gone, though if you later go back and edit that posting, they're there again... they're just there when you're in edit mode).
I hope this helps. Happy posting.

It's a very pretty place. Also liked by still photographers.
