An operating system box opens. I have Windows 7. Your selection box will depend on which version of Windows or Mac you have. Select the files you want as attachments. The limit is 10.

Now that you have the files selected, you have to upload them.
See the files all have an X and then click Upload Files (red)

Click Done! (red) This gives your post thumbnail images in a box at the bottom of the message.

That is it! Click submit to finalize your post for attached thumbnails or continue to read on for more advanced use of attached images.



Now... if you want the images be 'in line' with the message like this tutorial instead of at the bottom of the message as thumbnails, keep reading.
Instead of hitting Done, click the Insert Inline button. Note there are 3 images in this example and they have check marks to select them. Note the Insert Image button has a 3 showing 3 message will be inserted directly into the message. These images will not be in thumbnails at the bottom but will be right in the message post.
Click Insert Image and then Done to close the box.

Click Edit Post, Go Advanced. You will get a screen like this. Note in the upper right the red arrows (up or down) will enlarge the editing box. The A/a (green upper right) changed editing mode. Click it to switch to text and you will see the forum code for the attachments. Just cut and paste these forum code snippets to move the image around inside of your message.

If you don't see the code, the images are probably not Inserted Inline. Click the manage attachments and bring up the box that allows you move the files around.

Now you are in Text mode and can see the forum code for attachments. Cut and paste each attachment where you want it in your message. The format is:

I usually put them on single lines and then edit in my text.
