  Uploading images on this forum is a little tricky. You have to pay attention to a step that can easily be overlooked (see section A). In addition, when you write a comment, you have to take an extra step to discover the image attachement button (see section B).
  
  A) Adding a image to a new thread
  
  After you selected your image (steps 1 and 2 in the image below), you can be under the impression that your image is ready. But no... You also have to click the "Add Attachment" button on the far right of the screen. It is only after your image is attached that you can click "Post Thread" to send your message.
  
  
  
  B) Adding an image to a comment
  
  When you add a comment to a message, this forum initially shows the "Quick Reply" form. This form does not include the "Attachments" section. To show it, you have to open the full editor by clicking the "Preview Post" button. Then, you will see the "Attachments" section as illustrated in Section A.
  
  
  C) Inserting inline images in your message or comment
  
  "Attachments" are inserted at the end of messages or comments. If you want your image to be inside your message, you have to use the "Insert Image" toolbar button and enter the URL of your image. To do it, you need to upload your image on your web server using free services like ImgUr.

  Also, Pasting images in this forum editor is currently buggy. It shows the image when you paste it but it then shows as code when others read your post.
  
  For now, until this is fixed, please use one of the methods described above:
  - attach images by clicking the "New attachment" button at the bottom of the editor
  - or save you image to a cloud service (like imgur.com) and use the button "Insert an image" on the toolbar and enter the URL of your image.
  
  About saving screen clipping to Imgur, I recommend the screen clipping tool I use Greenshot (freeware) that integrates very well with Imgur. When you select to send your screen clip to Imgur, Greenshot automatically upload it for you and copy the image URL to your clipboard.
