Well Robb, here goes - No - tried it and did not succeed.
Where are they?
When I attach a quote, I hit the hit the quote button above, and insert the quote between the formatting that appears. Presumably I need to do that with the 'insert image' button above, before I insert the attachment?
Your description sounds like you are trying to use the "insert image" tool. I succeeded in doing that, which ends up providing a larger image than trying to upload images as attachments. So, I suggest you use the "insert image tool", as I did with the image below.
You need to whittle the memory size of your image down to 128 kb or less. But that can be done automatically by your choosing a "thumbnail code from your image host website. That means you can upload it as is (above 128 kb) onto an image hosting website. To obtain the smallest upload size, you must choose the "thumbnail" code. Then, return to this thread, and copy that embedding code into your post(e.g. clicking on the "insert image tool", which is the icon at the very left end of the lower of the 2 rows of posting tools situated just above the typing window. Simply insert the address (code) between the icons after having clicked on the picture icon to get the start and end img icons to appear).
I hope you understand what to do based on my description. It's a bit tricky and complicated. My hosting website includes a bunch of extra code AND an extra set of img icons that MUST be deleted, or you will have two SETS of image icons, which will prevent the upload. You must copy and use ONLY the "address" situated BETWEEN the img icons which was given to you by your hosting website after you clicked on the "thumbnail" button.
Good luck!
Robb
