Hi All,
BRAND new user here, trying to get my first simplepress forum set up for testing. The first stumbling block I've rune into is that I couldn't see how to upload images in posts. Looking at the FAQ, I found this:
"When creating a new topic or replying to a post you will see a button on the bottom left of the text input box."
Well, I *don't* see a button. First, I thought that it might be that I had the permissions set wrong, but that does not appear to be the case. Uploading images and media are permitted in all of my permission sets for all user groups.
I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious....
Thanks!!

have you installed and activated the SP Uploader plugin itself?

Aha! That must be it. Based on the FAQ, it was not obvious to me that there was no built-in mechanism for adding images to posts. Will go do that now.
Thanks for the speedy reply!!

OK ... now I have the plug-in installed, have the button, and have uploaded images. The next question is, how can they be displayed in the body of the post (as opposed to at the end)? Does that require another plug-in?
Thanks!!

Normally they will be inserted at the point of the cursor in the editor window when the upload was actioned. Is this not the case?
And normally you can continue to type post content after the image is inserted as well of course.

You're absolutely right (of course) I seem to have taken a stupid pill this morning. 🙂
One more question --- is it possible to have the images display at full size in the post, rather than the thumbnail?

Go to the fiorum admin > Options > Content settings and turn off the image enlargement popup

Thanks! That, unfortunately, has brought me to a new issue ... I can't access "Content Settings". It *looks* as if I could. The link is there and turns red when clicked, but nothing happens. I can get to "Options" from the Wordpress side menu, but not to any of the sub-menus under that.

Never mind! Apparently, the issues were caused by my webhost. We got slower and slower, and finally down. Now that we're back up, all is working properly.
