Dumb question - how do you easily insert a photo/image inline with writing text in a post?


when i try to insert an image, i click the 'image' button in the upper buttons zone above the posting space ... but then it asks me for a ’url’...

let's say i have an image in my google drive, or even on my computer local drive...

in my basic e-mail apps, you can attach an image with an ’attach’ button, which a-gon doesn’t provide, or even easier, just ’copy’ and then ’paste’ an image in between blocks of typed text...

i am not the most computer savvy person... any assistance would be gratefully received... :)

You are not alone, I have tried to insert pictures from different sources, Google Drive, One Drive, DropBox, and a few others to no avail.

Maybe we get help :)

i was told the only way to do this is to link the photo to some specialized picture storage/sharing site like imgur where we need to have the photo previously stored (having it on our google drive or our local drive does not suffice) - but one needs to set up an account there with username, password and all that - ugh... need that like i need another hole in my head

don’t know why they make it so difficult to do something very simple and commonplace - on another thread i wanted to show a picture of my setup, as another user was asking how my speakers were placed... a picture posted would have been self explanatory...

Like this?

In this case I right click on the image and the menu has several options. In this case I just "copy image" and then come down to my post and "Paste"
