let me see if i am following your steps correctly ...
cool!
you asked: "How did you avoid the file to be shown as a thumbnail below the uploaded text?"
when you go through all the crazy steps listed in the FAQ it takes to insert an image rather than simply attaching it (and repeated in the instructions file i posted) , the thumbnail no longer shows at the end of the post.
i like your method better than the way we are instructed to do it in the FAQ.
the fact that the thumbnail remains is - to me - an insignificant detail.
now ... if i can just remember it. lol

I have not found an other way to insert the diagram in the text. When I just click on the icon or the name the diagram is not inserted by that. How did you avoid the file to be shown as a thumbnail below the uploaded text?

if you right click and choose inspect, it will show that the pic links back to the QB album

And the pic will appear wherever you have your cursor.

better explanation needed
Need more clarification.
When I click reply to a post like now, I get a section below the text I write called "Additional options" and a subsection "Attach files". Here I click on "Manage attachment" that handles the upload in a separate window. Do you then choose a file and Then click upload? which window do you close ?
and now below What? I see a name of my uploaded diagram as a link below?? Then I right click on this name and chose "copy link". What do you do with link? This link is the QB link adress to the uploaded png file and can be used as link reference.
I have not found an other way to insert the diagram in the text. When I just click on the icon or the name the diagram is not inserted by that. How did you avoid the file to be shown as a thumbnail below the uploaded text?
I always use the attach files for photos but can not follow your instrucions.
Hey Patrice maybe you can help out.
Thanks.

Think I mentioned it before in this thread, but I haven't been able to get the paperclip icon to work, I think that is a combination of my browser combined with some of my various protection problems. Since I can do what I need by the manage attachments button, I've stopped trying to figure it out, but sometimes it would be nice to embed a diagram in the text.
It seems cumbersome, but once you get the image imbedded into the text, can you then edit out the thumbnail attachment?
You'd have to do it all at the same time because of the short time allowed for editing (and there are good reasons for that too).
