    Hi Roz, I'm afraid only avatars can be uploaded directly to the forum server, you need to use a third party host like flickr, as we did on the old forum, to put images in your posts.

    Thanks for letting me know.
    I always use Photobucket and am not keen on the Flikr registration process which wants too many personal details and insists I have another email address .... so, I guess I'll forget about posting pics.

    You should still be able to use Photobucket in the same way as you did with the previous forum. I don't use Flickr, either, I use Imgur.

    Roz - I had a play - I just copied the IMG code and directly pasted it into the post with no image tags and it worked for me.
    Was that what you did?
