    What is the best way to post pictures? A link to Google Photos (for instance) or using this site's Media Gallery?

    I must be "dense". :) What function in the toolbar of this forum enables you to embed an uploaded file directly in a post? Thanks!

    Thanks guys! "If it was a snake it would have bit me"! I was focused on the top toolbar and missed the big "Upload a File" button.

    To post pictures on a desktop computer, you click on "choose file" button. But on a phone, at least on my iPhone, you touch the text "upload a file", the button does nothing.

    Then place cursor where you want pic, and then touch the image, down below the text window: either thumbnail or full image. The latter seems best to me.
