The result you want:

Click on "upload" (left side). Then click "Choose File". A "choose file box will appear".

Drag the image from the desktop to the "choose file" box

Click 'Choose"

It's a lot easier than is sounds. Trust me

Thanks Scott. Ya know, I did that once and I believe it had me open an account. That's the way I figured it out and haven't used the button since.

If you use the 'host an image' button, you won't get those tricky advertisement things.

Playing with it now I find I can't get the pop-up window to leave the reply box.

I was thrilled to be able to finally post pics. Another forum I'm on will let you post a pic as an attachment, but sometimes it's a pita, so I always use the hosting method instead.

I believe servimg.com doesn't have a limit to the number of pics you can host there, but you can only upload one at a time. I've also had issues where if I'm posting a bunch of pics at a time, some of the pics don't download correctly.

Photobucket is much much more user friendly, but I've lost pics on there.

BTW Scott, thanks so much for teaching me the Command+shift+4 thing. It's come in very handy
