So I've had this issue recently where I can't insert images....I get this every time: Image

Never had a problem with this before, and it's so useful to be able to provide an image so you all can see exactly what's going on. Any ideas? I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, I messed up a setting maybe....Thanks for any help.

Instead, upload the image as an attachment. It will be shown at the end by default. If you want to put it in the middle of your text, use "place inline."

The img tag works for me, though. You need to put a URL in between the tags, e.g.

Code: Select all

Even easier: After you click the "Attachments" tab, just drag your image into the Message box.
