Where is it stored? On your computer, or on a photo sharing site like Flickr or Facebook?
@Axtremus posted some how-tos here:
-
drag and drop does not seem to be working. I do not want to sign up for some stupid photo site.
-
it's on my tablet

Don't know why drag and drop isn't working.
you can use https://postimages.org/ to host your photos without signing up. I use it all the time as a throwaway place to load photos. just so I can post them here. Using postimages as a third-party host saves on storage here.
Just upload the photo, and then use the Direct Link option to copy the photo link. If you are in full edit mode here, there's a little picture icon that you click on, and then paste the link you copied from postimages here. You can also use the preview pane here as you compose your post. On the left side is what you're editing and on the right is what the finished product will look like.

How is this better than what we had to do at the old place? I was hoping that it would be as easy to post photos here as it is on FB. I couldn't get Ax's link to load, either.
-
maybe if I add some text I can then drag and drop? trying that.....
Nope.
-
Is your picture too big? We have a file size limit here if you're doing drag/drop. If you have it hosted elsewhere, the forum software takes care of resizing, which th eold WTF didn't do.
Can you just post the link to your FB picture here?

oops. wrong move.

thanks. And grrrrr..

I missed telling you a step you have to do on postimages...click on Share, then a bunch of options will pop up. Then click on Direct Link to copy the URL to paste in the Image Link here.
-
Are you using the full edit screen here? Next to the box that says "Quick reply", there are two arrows that open up a full editing screen. That's where all the magic happens.
-
no, I figured that part out. And resized. It probably was a size problem. My images on my tablet are mostly pretty large.
-
Any image you are posting here from your tablet or computer has to be under 2 MB. You can crop or resize on your local device, then drag/drop here.
Or upload to postimages and just use that Direct Link here. I don't use FB, but I think people are just copying the link for pics they have on FB and then use the Image Link here.

I find the use of an intermediary web site to post pictures very annoying. It would no doubt be easier to do from my pc laptop but i try to stay off the internet and use that machine just for work. Almost all my media is on my tablet.

What Kind of tablet?

It all boils down to storage. If you do the drag/drop, the photo ends up being stored here, which means storage cost goes up. Photo file sizes can get huge, which is why we have a limit. It's not unlike the purges we used to do of posts on the other place; it was to keep storage costs down.
If you put the photo on another website, the storage costs are on them. We just store a link to their site and display the photo. We don't store the photo here.
The old WTF didn't have any option for drag/drop and required a third party host. Resizing had to be done manually, or the pics were huge over there and messed up how the thread looked.
