Hi,
 
I want to upload an image and video to another post but I can't figure how to do it. I've tried clicking on the little icon for images in the upper right-hand corner that says "Attach Images" but it opens up to image URL (not sure what to do) or from Gallery/Upload which says see below but there is nothing there. I see lots of folks seem to be able to upload both pictures and videos. Can someone detail how it's done?
 
Thanx, Frederick

You want to obtain the link to an image file.
 
This is a the link to a microphone:  
https://media.americanmusical.com/ItemImages/Large/SHU%20SM58LC%20LIST.jpg
 
You have to copy a link from an image source and paste it in the image / edit image button under the word font size above the text entry box and your image will show.  Images will have the .jpg, .gif or .png extensions at the end.
 
1. make a copy of the link I posted to this reply.
2. place you curser at the location where you want to picture to show.
3. Click the blue box under the word "Font Size" above.
4. Paste you link in the box and click "Insert"
You should see the image of the mic below.

Thanx but I'm trying to upload my own screen-shots of Sonar to the forums which are just stored on my computer. Is there a way to do this?

You can't upload them here - they need to be hosted elsewhere e.g. photobucket, imgur

NOT Photobuckey  stay away-- I used to use it and now they askin for cash to open all my files files. 
Use Imgur  https://imgur.com/    free. You can also use your Photos from Facebook if your not wishing to use Imgur. This is one below

You can also open a G-mail account and then use Google Photos to add you own photos to the gallery.
This came from my Googles Photos collection. 
  1. Crop, do limited editing from within Google photos
  2. Download the file(s)
  3. Re-upload to Google Drive
  4. Right-click the file(s), select 'Get Shareable Link', which will be in the format of https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uN8q2gBGICUjTP4IlRrjC2LrDfsrJpgv
  5. Substitute, 'https://drive.google.com/open?id=' with 'http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=' & append the unique file name(s)
  6. Now you can use this URL to insert link into a forum posting
 

 
 

 

Done.

Yes, I have google photos and it works well. I'm not a facebook guy, more of a voicebook type.
 
And... Jesse, I don't see any of your google photos either.
 
Thanx for the Google suggestion. I'll give it a try soon. It's very late, time for sleep.

OK, I had to make a slight adjustment to my Google Drive sharing method.
It should be all better now.

Yup, I see 'em now! And nice recording space. You even have room for a vocal booth, very nice.

I once knew how to embed youtube vids but have since forgotten.
