Not sure, seem to recall 'newbies' had to have posted X number of thread before they could link pic's to FTE photo gallery? It has been quite some time since I have used FTE gallery, believe the site was going thru some changes at the time when I decided to store photo's on an online site but later found that could be problematic. For the past few years I now post pic's directly from my camera disc and no longer dependent upon other sources for storage. I can remove the camera disc and insert into my computer and use the "insert picture" menu located on the top row of the thread and either drop and drag or link directly from the disc., I now have control over my photo's. I am certain fellow FTE member's will be chiming-in with 'how to' instructions.
Just as Dave does I post directly from my computer. When writing a message there are menu icons at the top of your message box. It is second last from the right, a square box, yellow background with a circle in the top right and mountain peaks on the bottom. Once clicked I choose browse from my device and then I search my picture folder for the mug shot I want. Yes I am a paid member and I do not recall if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.
