Hmmm.. Okay before I make any smart alec remarks about "No button to insert" something.. I'd like to know the steps you're taking to attach an image. First are you using the Advanced options when you post a message? If you just post a message in the window below the messages that are already posted, then you won't see the options to add an image. The options will include a paper clip symbol, which allows you to attach an image, or any other types of files to the message.

Here's what you should see:

Let's leave it 'cause I'm getting frustrated. I'm not an idiot and I've been on the Web and on CD forever, not to mention I've worked in web development. I've posted hundreds of images of various kinds and I know there is no button when there is no button. Just like I know there is a button in FF and I just posted images: Where's that wet Pony?!

Ahhh!I know what you're doing wrong! Don't click on the "Image" option, click on the paper clip, which allows you to attach the image to the message.

I see what you're talking about though. I've never used the "Image" icon before, so I don't know what it looked like before. It looks like you can use that to place an image on a web server. I think they have a flaw in their software, but you can still post an image in the message by typing the following syntax (without the spaces)

[ IMG ] http web location of the image file [/ IMG ] That's what I usually do to post an image in a message.

Yeah, it works hand-coded. I didn't try before. Keeping your colors in place is enough hand-coding for me. The point is what used to work a few days ago and still works in FF does NOT work in IE. Darn developers!

Glad all is better...

Yeah they changed something MusicFreak, they broke it!

Looks like a defect in the software. The forums software is written in the PHP language... and no it's not a drug.. PHP (Personal Home Page) is a scripting language suited for web development on Linux/Unix servers.

Looks like they left out a minor detail in the changes they made recently. But, like all other computer software, there's always a work-around.

The button is just like the doorbell,,,, if you keep pushing it ~ it will annoy those inside and they’ll never come to open it. You’re pc is full of little guys that are annoyed with all the pushing that’s going on. LOL
