    This is one of the primary reasons I really liked XenForo when I began looking into it.

    To add a picture or graphic into your post, all you have to do is simply drag-it from your desktop right into your message!

    As you do, you'll (temporarily) see a screen that says: Drop files here to upload

    Or alternatively you can also use the Upload a File button, just beneath the text editor box.​

    Once you release your mouse button, the file will be automatically attached to your message. Below the Create Thread button, then you'll see something like this…

    You then have two choices, to SIZE your image. You can either have it appear as a Thumbnail -or- a Full Image.
    NOTE: Your image will be inserted right in your post, wherever your text cursor is currently sitting at.​

    Also, if you have multiple images, then a small Attached Files sub-bar will appear and allow you to insert them all as Thumbnails -or- all as Full (sized) Images with just one click if you want to…

    Or conversly, you can add them one-by-one into your post by choosing either Thumbnail -or- Full Image for each graphic.

    Lastly, if you upload the wrong image by mistake, it's as simple as just clicking on the Delete button to the right of that image. Then, you can go back and drag the right one into your post and add it wherever you want it.

    With the ease of use in uploading pictures now, we've added a new Forum entitled Pictures. I hope many of you will snap a picture or two and share the sights you saw on your ride, with the rest of us here. :camera:

    One additional note if you go back later to Edit a previous post and attempt to add a picture to it (by dragging one from your desktop), you will see a translucent red screen appear that states:
    Uploads are not available. :sad9:

    However, you can still add pictures to your old post by simply clicking on the More Options… button at that point, located at the bottom-right of the Rich Text Editor. That will open the Full-Sized Text Editor on a new screen by itself, thus giving you the required screen-space to see each attachment and select whether you want a Thumbnail or the Full Sized picture embedded into your existing post. :heelclick:
