    Default Posting Pictures

    I have read the directions about posting photos which says to click on the icon that looks like a framed pine tree. Well..........I do not have any such symbol when I click on the "New Topic" tab in the Pictures section. Can anyone give me some advice about doing this or perhaps help me see what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Do you have icons in the tool bar above the Quick Reply box or the text box in Starting New Thread? If you don't have icons I believe you need to adjust your Setting to WYSIWYG. The tree is TINY and on this Quick Reply Box- third from the right on my icon tool bar.

    Tartan is correct. Go into your settings (click tab at top right of page), then scroll down about halfway and on the left side of the screen, click on "General Settings". Go all the way down to the bottom of the page under "Miscellaneous Options", at the "Message Editor Interface", make sure the option "Enhanced Interface" is selected. Then click "save changes" at the bottom of the page and you should be good to go.

    I recommend opening this page in another tab so you can click back and forth between these instructions and your settings page without getting lost.

    clicking Go Advanced should give you more too. It's what i do. then scroll down to Manage Attachments, and click, find your photo and upload.

    Yes you need to change your settings if you only see a plain box:
    go to "Settings" in the upper right corner of this screen
    On the next screen, look for My Account and click on "General Settings"
    On the next screen, scroll down to Miscellaneous Options and select:
    "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing"
    Now your input box will have all the options.
