Hi there and welcome to the loony bin
The easy way of adding a picture is to click on the "additional Options..." under where you enter text, then the Browse button for Attach, find you picture file ... and you're sorted

The way to avoid giving Farjo a hernia is to use the Aeva Media button (Just above the 8) on the smiley bar). Then use to upload the piccies!

I think it has something about reducing load on the server, making threads load faster and making the files easier to find at a later date. I think. Ask Farjo for more info! :lol

Farjo, Simonm, Deadeye...you guys know your computer stuff - is what Christo says here right? If it helps to do it this way...?
Re: pictures - Dead Eye - 06-07-13
Honestly no idea so this is merely speculation but;
I believe the Aeva Media is a plugin for the SMF board which allows better categorisation and management of uploaded pictures and integrates them in to the gallery.
Essentially, attached pictures are just attached to an individual post in a thread. The Aeva uploaded ones can also be found in the Media Gallery (see link at the top of the page)
Pretty sure there is no load / performance benefit

You the man !!!
I could not of wrote it better
Re: pictures - noggythenog - 06-07-13
Can anyone help me use this aeva way instead of the traditional additional options method.
When i go to aeva button & upload then the pics seem to dissapear somewhere & i cant figure out how to get them on to the post.
Re: pictures - Dead Eye - 06-07-13
When you click on the Aeva button it should bring up a "popup" window which allows you to select the image you want to upload (you can only do one at a time)
You don't have to give it a title or a description if you don't want to. You just need to browse for the file you want to upload ("File to upload" bit) then press submit at the bottom - depending on the image it may take a while to upload so be patient. Once its finished, the "popup" window will automatically close and some BB Code will be entered in to the main post section similar to this;
Code:

So if I'm not bothered about my pics going into Gallery, I'll just carry on attaching for a particular thread...
Re: pictures - ChristoT - 06-07-13
Apparently I stand corrected! That'll teach me to do some research before opening my mouth! :lol :lol

Re: pictures - nick crisp - 06-07-13
Oh you're so kind. But if you take out the word "idiot", it doesn't make much sense...
