you can copy the web url address of a photo, and insert that into your post. Please observe etiquette and legalities as appropriate.
1. copy the images url. It ought to indicate a file name & TYPE, like .jpg, .jpeg, .png for example
2. within the new post you can go two ways that I know of.
  • The 1st is to select Insert Link (ctrl + K?) and paste the pictures link into the box.(browser dependent!) You'll be prompted to insert the images URL and a text description of the picture.
  • Easter Eggs <---you'll get a button to click that will then show the photo.
~or~
  • the 2nd is to Insert Image (ctrl + p) where you will have the choice of Inserting an Image, either located at a web location, url, or one that you have stored upon your computer.
  • here is where I've use the link/url of the picture as the source, (and resized it with my mouse, so to be reasonably sized.)
  • easter-2168521_960_720.jpg
  • this one is a pattern I have stored on my 'puter, that I use to test my color printer, after I replace the ink cartridges.
  • (the image is uploaded from my pc) during the process, I am offered a box with a RedX in it , an Insert and Trash Can.
  • click the Insert word, and select (Thumbnail or Full Image) (note: pay attention to where your mouse curser is/picture placement)
  • colortest.png
  • You prolly oughtta expect you'll have to play around with this to get a feel for your 'device' browser and this web software, so you might expect to do a bit of stumbling.
  • ."(after you save your post, you should NOT see any ugly X's to click)😝, unless in some other xenforo web sections.

Does the image upload feature work for new members? I can only see the image link option.
