    You are writing just the title at the top?
    You then write your message lower down, then click on "create thread".

            @BB3 if you are able to go to where you store your photos on your computer you can just highlight the ones you wish to post and drag and drop them into your post (before you have posted it).

            They would then appear as a row of thumbnails. Put your cursor in the post where you want a photo and then click on "Full Image" alongside the photo you wish to post and it will appear where your cursor is. Don't click on "Thumbnail" as it will appear just as a small thumbnail. :)

            I have a laptop but I normally use a kindle or my phone. Not sure how drag and drop works on those devices.

            How do you find your threads. Is there a list somewhere?

            Thank you :smile:
            Had a look. I'm wondering if I'm becoming a spammer in the works!

            I use a phone so can't drag and drop. Instead use the "Upload a File" button at the lower right. It will allow you to find your photo in your gallery or equivalent. Once uploaded you need to select Full Image next to the thumbnail of your photo. The photo then gets inserted into your reply at the point where you were editing, so scroll down and click at the bottom of your reply text for example. Otherwise the photo might get inserted in the middle of a sentence.

            Hope I haven't over complicated it

            That only seems to work on files I've downloaded, not my own photos. I can do it on my phone now but not my tablet
