Here's a preliminary step-by-step writeup.
1. Open the "not a project" thread in one window/tab and your build thread in another.
2. Upload the desired photos as attachments to a post in the "not a project" thread using the "Attachments and other options" pulldown under the text editing box.
3. After you click on the "Post" button, you'll be dropped back in Project Announcements -- reopen the "not a project" thread and scroll down to the new post with your pics. Change window (alt-tab) or browser tab (ctrl-tab) to your build thread.
4. Type the text for your build thread post.
5. When you get to where you want to insert a photo, change window/tab back to the "not a project" post.
6. Click on the thumbnail of the desired photo -- it will either open the image in a new window or display it full-size in the current window.
7. Right-click on the enlarged image and select "Copy Image Location".
NOTE: Don't select "Copy Link Location" since the link on the full-size photo takes it back to thumbnail size.
*** Shortcut for steps 6 and 7 -- Right click on the thumbnail and select "Copy Link Location".
8. If the photo opened in a new window, close that window.
9. Change window/tab back to your build thread.
10. Put the blinking cursor where you want the image to go.
11. Click on the
icon and press Ctrl-V (Edit - Paste) to insert the URL for the photo between the "img" tags.
12. If you want to resize the image to 400 pixels add " width=400" like below.
[img width=400]http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=310830;image[/img]
13. Repeat steps 4-12 as desired.
14. To see how the post looks, click on the "Preview" button. When it looks good, press the "Post" button.
PROTIP: Until you click on "Post", you can lose all your work.
Sometimes it's better to post *then* do the final editing touches.
