post pictures within a message instead of as an attachment?

 

From the gallery?

 

OK, since folks here were kind enough to tell me, I too will pass on the secret!
You go to the "advanced" section of posting. Then in the tool bar at the top of the dialogue box you are writing in, a simple pictograph of a picture exists. This looks like a mountain. It is in yellow. It is3/4 of the way to the right at the top of the dialogue box.
Click on this pictograph and a long narrow bar window will open on the upper left of your screen. In this bar paste the URL of the photo you wish to post. The photo MUST be available online elsewhere, you are simply directing the browser to look to that spot.
Now this is the part that may thwart you. You must add the suffix ".jpg" ( that's dot jpg without the quotes ). Perhaps .gif will work too if it is a gif being posted. I have not tried this.

Good luck, and have fun posting . Pictures are a must!

Here's one from last month:

 

That's a fine spot too, CH. But the photos can reside elsewhere. Mine live here:

I think I only have one photo in the gallery. Mine are all at Photobucket.
