When you are adding text to a post, you can go to the bottom and click the "Additional Options..." link provided.   This will open additional options ..... one of which is the ability to attach photos.

Two ways.  The easiest way is as Unclet said. 

The other way is if you have a place online that can be ref'ed from external sites.  Then you use the image button you used, and put the url of the image between the ][ .  Example replacing [] with () so you can see:

How does one add photos between text?
Id like to be able to type something, have a pic below it, type below that pic, then have another pic below that type.
I know it can probably be done using u_rebelscums method, but how can I do it using unclets method?

You can't using UncleT's method, because all attachments are automatically placed at the bottom. There is a mod that allows you to specify where the attachment goes in the text. Is there a demand for that? I'm reluctant to put in too many mods as things start to get messy when you upgrade, but if there's demand I'll look at it.

I know I would personally like to see that option made easier.
(aside from having to upload somewhere and use an url)
Helps when trying to describe project steps or help someone repair something if you can lay it out with text, picture,text,picture, etc.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

I second what urebel said
You could also post images in this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51525.0

instructions are in there somewhere I don't remember what page but basically
post your image in that thread,

Open a 2nd tab in your browser when posting
1st tab is your new post
2nd tab is your images posted in the above mention thread

rt click your image and copy image location
go back to your new post tab and  in your post where you want your image click the little picture frame icon, paste the image location in between the brackets. Thats it, now you have images in your post not beneath it.

Clear as mud right?

Well no need to do it just for me, but I have seen others do what I want. Are they actually posting url links to images elsewhere on the web?

I would agree there would be no real need to have pictures right under the text.  It is quite simple to indicate "see pic1 below" or "see pic2 below", however, in most cases that would not even be necessary since people can generally figure it out.
