uploading photos to your usercp is a major PIA

why is it so clunky? the rest of the forum is easy

I have to agree with this. I can upload photos to the CN website, but can't manage it for the forum......

Minor pain IMHO. The site admin could change it.

Posting inline from the user album seems simple enough!

FYI, you need a direct link for an image to show. Imageshack doesn't provide it unless you register. You'll get a blank. Just something I learned.

Adding a photo to a post I could use a tutorial...or does one exist. Mac using Firefox?

Is it uploaded somewhere? If not it's easy to use ImageShack or a similar website.

Then you need the actual link to the image, the best way to do this is right click on an image and "Copy Image Location".

Then in a forum post you need to insert that link inside IMG tags, so it looks something like this:

If it's a link to an actual image then the image tags will make it display on the page.

Yeh, some places will let you upload straight onto the forum, but not here unfortunately.
