I found kind of an explanation...but can't figure out how to do it.
 
I have an image on my computer I want to post here. The forum "Attach Images" dialog has two tabs: "Image URL" and "From Gallery/Upload". I am not sure what to do with these. The "Gallery Upload" tab tells me to "Select from and option below"...of which there are none. I tried the url tab a couple different ways, but I cannot see my image on the preview.
file:\\D:\path\image.jpg
D:\path\image.jpg
Must have the syntax wrong. Any suggestions appreciated.

I just found the "Insert/edit image" button, but still can't make it work.

You need to upload your image to a hosting site like imgur. Then copy the 'direct link' and paste that in the 'attach images - image URL' box.

Thanks, jamesg1213. I'll give it a try.

yep, or photobucket...

Or have your own webspace. 

Weren't we able to upload from my computer a while back? What happened?
 
It is now a PITA and usually not worth the effort, IMO. Craig has it down to three quick clicks I think...

Imgur is now VASTLY superior to Photobucket. PB was ok until it became totally bloated with bloody adverts.
 
A shame as I've got over 500 Sonar screenshots on their site.

+ 1, I have a Photobucket account, but can't bear to log-in now, it's horrible.
