    Hi I wanted to upload some pictures from my pc or phone, but when I click on insert image it says "enter image url", do i need to have the pictures on a website or storage area as I don't have either, or can I upload from my phone or pc.
    Many thanks.

    When you are typing your post, in the bottom right hand corner there is a button that says upload a file.
    Click on that, and a box will open to upload the file.
    After that the image will upload in the bottom of the window.
    From there you can choose to use a thumbnail or full image, when you click how you want the image wherever your cursor is, is where it will go.
    Its a little confusing, but once you do it, you won't have any more issues.

    There is also a either a file size limit or pixel limit, I'm not sure which, I cut my photo down to 640X480 and it usually works.

    Not a problem, I struggled to post pictures until someone else helped me out.
