How to Attach a Picture to a Post

   A number of folks are having a difficult time attaching photos/images to a post.  Hopefully this helps.
This post is made on a PC using Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (but I've done in on several Windows OS's but not 9 or 10 - just haven't tried them yet).

You must use the "normal" reply method and not the "quick reply" method.   That will produce the standard text box to start typing in and a small set of icons above the box.  Click on the icon with the diagonal arrow per the picture below (look for the red circle):

That will give you and expanded set of icons and you want to click the image of the tree that is circled in red in the picture below:

Then click on that tree icon which gives you the following dialog box and you want to click on the "Choose File" button which is circled in red:

By clicking the "Choose File" button, Windows Explorer opens which I use to browse to wherever I've stored the image(s) I want to update.   In my example, I have the picture saved at the PC Pictures folder per the picture below (see circled  picture location):

Once I've selected the desired picture from wherever I have it stashed, I click on the "Upload" button which is circled in red below:

From that point, it should take a few seconds and presto, photo uploaded to the AvidyneLive thread.

Need more examples/information?
