this may sound dumb but

how do you add pictures on here now? I can't figure it out, it will not allow me to past 

Thats a good question I would like to know as well

See my other post below. Hope this helps.

I have to go to my profile and upload them. I do not know how to uoload ftom a smartphone. To insert a pic in a thread I have to copy and paste.

See my other post below. Hope this helps.

I dont know how to either:(. I wish they would make it easier!!!

There's a way you can add them directly in your post if you know just the web address as well. If you find an image on a web site that you like, you can [usually] right click on it and go to its properties and find the "web address" of the picture. Sometimes you may have to right click and "open image in new window/tab" and then find the address that way. Copy the address and then you are going to paste it into the source address of an HTML image tag. The format is something like this but you will need to replace the * with a < and the & with a />. Does that make sense? If I put the real tag here it will think it's a real tag and try to do something so like this:

*img src="the web address you copied here in the quotes" &

Again, replace the * with < and the & with /> and you will get it. Also, if the image is going to be too big, you can use height="some number" width="some number" to scale the image in pixels. Do those two options after the src and before the end of the tag's />

I am going to place this text

in between the img tag and you should see the image.

 

Hope my reply to the other poster above helps. I didn't realize that I had not replied to you, the original poster. Sorry about that.
