Can I respectfully ask that you read how to insert photographs on here
Sorry. I have read the instructions numerous times. It is not intuitive. It is frustrating. I am glad others have figured out how to make their photos post. I will not be attempting to post in the future.
Tim, do you have Flickr account?
Tim, I'm with you, not being geeky at all it took me many tries. But Nandakumar is onto your solution. Get a free Flickr account and upload your images there. Then you can click on "You" at the top and select your image. Click on the right pointing arrow and choose the BB selection. Copy it. Go back to the reply page on CiC and choose Advanced. Then paste the BB selection you've copied onto the CiC reply page. You should see your image, and then you can hit Submit. If you get a popup that refers to invalid Tags, just go down and scrub out all the tags you see and hit Submit again. Your image will be posted. There will be some extra stuff from the BB selection that appears, but don't worry about that for now. You'll figure out how to make it disappear in time. G'luck!
Please don't give up, Tim. If you don't have FlickR account and don't want one, then do you have anywhere else on-line, e.g. "Google Drive", that you can a) upload an image to and b) get an address (URL) for that image in it's up-loaded location? If so, I will be only too glad to post step-by-step instructions to show an image here.
By "URL" I mean a pure and simple image address. Often, what looks like clickable address (hyperlink) is a link that sends you to HTML code that does something unexpected like print BB code in addition to an image. Also, some sites re-size an up-loaded image so that what you get is not what you up-loaded.
