Having trouble posting photos

Recommended Posts

Long ago when I wanted to post a photo I clicked on the little Image icon and got a dialog the allowed me to either enter a URL or upload a photo from my hard drive.  Now I only get the URL option.  Recently someone here said just drag the photo onto the text entry area - I tried that but with Safari (I'm on a MAC) I just get a URL like location text.  If I put that in the "Image" URL dialog box it does not work.  I tried Firefox and can drag the photo into the text edit area and it shows as the photo but when I try to post I get a message that the extension is not allow - it was a .jpg

 

What am I doing wrong?

The little icon  (shown in the red circle on my pic) is for use when you're trying to embed a picture that is already on a website somewhere.  

 

The Choose Files button (green arrow on my pic) is to allow you to upload a picture from your computer to the web site.  I think you want to use this button rather than the little icon.
