Title: How do I attach a photo file to a post?
Post by GrandPaPa on Mar 12^th, 2011 at 10:42am

I'm feeling silly people...
I wrote my post, then browsed for the file in "pictures" and then opened it which brought its description into the forum browse box.
All good....but what do I do now to upload it to my post? I found the "insert image" button above the post draft box, and hit that which put [img] [img] into the post but I can't for the life of me figure how to get the foto in there!
Thank you for any help gang..... ;D

OK, the external cross-linking worked but the internal cross-linking within OzPol is not currently working (I have successfully used it many times in the past - including to post icons from the OzPol toolbar - so it may be that this functionality has glitched or that it has been deliberately removed)...

Many thanks Equitist!
I'm wanting to upload a JPEG 138KB file from my pictures folder, so I guess as you say, that function's not operational at the moment.
And thanks for doing the test thing!

Hey...It worked!
I previously had only gone to "preview" to check it out, and no sign of it! This time I went straight to "post" and there it was!
