If you know the URL of the image and don't have it on your computer, click the "Image" button on the toolbar (in between "Smilies" and "Media") and enter the URL. The image will appear in your post.

If you have an image on your computer that you'd like to put in your post, click the "Upload a File" button below the editor (between "Preview..." and "More Options..." This will allow you to upload the image. Once it is uploaded, select "Full Size" to show the full-sized image within your post or "Thumbnail" to show a clickable thumbnail within your post.
Jordan, thanks. I have the picture on my computer. Every time I try to upload, I get an error message saying "There was a problem loading your file". The file is a .jpg image. Would this affect the upload?

JPGs are not a problem. If you're receiving that error, your file may be corrupted. You can try using one of these programs to repair the file.

Jordan the Upload a File option isn't working. I've tried several different photos from various sources, so am confident it's not a file issue. This is the error message I get after attempting an Upload
View attachment upload_2017-4-27_11-21-35.png

[Edit] The above image was embedded before I hit Post Reply. I had done a screenshot and then copy/pasted it directly into the text box.



If I do a copy/paste of the URL for the image and upload using the Icon on the menu bar above the text box, it loads fine.
