    I am trying to attach a image to my post so I can explain my issue more clearly. When I click on the image icon it tells me to paste in a URL of a image!. So I placed the image in my google drive and share the URL, but that didn't work. Any ideas on how I can attach a image to a forum post?

    Thank you in advance.

    Easiest thing is just drag it into the text box.

    Nope that doesn't work for me.
    I tried dragging the image into the body of my post and it tells me Uploads are not available.
    I am using firefox.

    I used the "Upload a File" button for this.
    The images is shown as a small icon, but if you click on it you can view it in full size.

    Sorry, I was trying to start a new conversation thinking I was actually posting to the forum. In the start a new conversation window I am not give this capability.

    Okay so you may have noticed I just posted two new posts to the forum. They are identical posts and I need to delete/remove the first one with the broken image.
    Could you tell me how to do this.

    Drag'n'drop is the simplest and fastest...it's available in all text boxes on this forum, when starting a conversation or otherwise. It works in Firefox (tested).

    When I drag onto the white area, it doesn't add the image to the white area, only onto the "Attached Files" zone...

    Ah nevermind... You now first upload the image and then it goes to "Attached Files" , After that, click on "Thumbnail" to add it to the post.
