My insert/Edit Image looks just like the one on this forum, no image upload button?  Is it possible to add an upload button so users can upload from their computer?  Same question for the media button?

Yes, I do.  I just noticed an update so I installed that.  Am I supposed to use the Upload attachments at the bottom of the post or is there a button on the Insert image popup?  I can upload attachments just fine, I'm trying to figure out how to insert an image in my post without typing in a url.

Here's a how-to on uploading attaching files in Simple:Press

You attach the image same as you would upload a file.

yes, upload attachment...  you can insert an image... if you use the button in tinymce, you have to give it a url...

Thanks guys, in that case mine does work!  I saw a youtube video of someone uploading a file on an SP forum using TinyMCE and there was a button on the popup. Perhaps an older version?

Any way I can add that button to my install?

you might be thinking of the old sp 4.x versions that had a buggy, insecure file manager... it has been replaced...

Mine does work Mr Papa.  What I was thinking is there should be a button directly on the Insert/Image popup.  If I use the Upload attachment then it works just fine.

take a look at this youtube video 15 seconds in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....8W5B_mERcc, you'll see what button I was looking for.  I actyually used tinymce on drupal and it works the same way as in this video.  That's why I kept looking for an file search button.

as I said that was an old 4.5 implementation... but was buggy and we found multiple security holes that were being exploited (fixed over time but who knows if more) so we got rid of it...  plus, 99% of our users wanted something easier, simpler and cleaner...
