According to the FAQ, one should be able to attach files by using the browse button at the bottom of the message box. I have looked and looked and can not locate the browse button. Can anyone please assist me?

There doesn't appear to be one! Help! There are no buttons for hyper links, images, nothing!

From what I can tell at the bottom of the page you can see the "Posting Rules". Pictures are attachments and they are not allowed.


Although it does look like you can use the "" tag to embed an image from another source (no uploading of images).

Its been beaten to death if you do a search, but here it is
Picture must be hosted by another URL like photobucket / webshots etc
List the url in the body of your message. The url must be of the picture, and only the picture, not of the visible webpage that is hosting the pic.
Example
http://image42.webshots.com/42/7/77/51/296077751nZLzhN_ph.jpg
and then after the end of .jpg you need to put so it would be .jpg[/img]

and it looks like this

Be sure and switch to the advanced editor if you want to embed or link to pictures, waaay easier.
You just click on the image http://www.camaros.net/forums/olp/images/editor/insertimage.gif icon and enter the address.
