You want a Photobucket account.
Their interface is not perfect, but very easy to upload a photo, and then copy its URL to insert into your new topic.
Image will auto-open
John R did a tutorial on this some years back - maybe it's time he did it again.

It should be fine, but it must be a JPEG image and not too big. I use 1000 pixels wide and the forum changes this to fit, but it doesn't seem to noticeably degrade quality.

Could it be that your file size is too large?
Best regards, John

I don't know why Peter, but it's usually something simple that's going wrong. Comment Image

I've just tried the process now and it seems fine. Perhaps use a different browser? The above image is 1000 pixels wide and less than 400K in size.
Best regards, John

If it is a browser issue, I am using IE9 on Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

Is anybody using that software to successfully insert images?

'philstaff', what are you using?

Image size makes no difference. I upload original full size JPEG images stored on my PC hard drive and the upload process re-sizes them automatically to display in the Forum. Works every time for me, no problems.

It would be helpful to know the following from those having problems uploading images:

- Which PC Operating System are you using?
- Which Web Browser and version number are you using?
- Are you trying to upload an image stored on your hard drive, or are you trying to link to an image on a website?
- Do you get any error messages after clicking the 'insert image' button

See other topic 'post your favourite photo taken this year', I think Peter's problem is a combination of Windows Vista, IE9 and AdBlock Plus. Would suggest to anyone using IE9 to upgrade to IE11, or switch to Google Chrome for all internet browsing as IE9 is a very poor release, full of bugs and has a lot of known issues which can cause similar problems to those being described by Peter.

Just a thought I never had a problem using the function on the old style forum.

Hi peter
Sorry to see you are having problems inserting images
I use vista home premium 32 bit and IE7 it won't let me upgrade to IE9
So I put on chrome and that seems to solve it
