Some of us have had more problems than others when it comes to posting photos. What worked before doesn't work now, and as I read some of the solutions, they seem to work for some but not others .......I have found a solution that works, for me.
I go to Google, Type in .....postimg....
a window opens up with a few postimg choices,
I choose the top one to the postimg site
At the post img site I am then requested to choose a photo
From there I am able to go through all my photo files and choose the one I want by clicking on, open.
Postimg then gives me a list of options and I choose "hotlinks for forums" .
Next I highlite from INSIDE the brackets starting at Httpp/ ( or however it is written) ending at jpeg , again INSIDE the brackets
With this highlited on the keyboard I press control simultaneously with the letter c .
I now go back to the XMarks posting I'm making, and depress the icon for "insert image"
another window appears as to where I will get the image from. Computer or URL
I click on URL then in the line provided I then simultaneously click on control and the letter v
That inserts the image in the post wherever I have placed the cursor and then I can either carry on with my post OR type out the post before inserting the image.........
As you can tell from this blather I am quite computer illiterate but this has allowed me to post photos and I sure hope it helps you. The photos I post are usually taken at quite large file sizes and they have no problem being inserted..... I also haven't changed any settings on my firewall Give it a try.......I always enjoy seeing other members photos
