You can’t attach a picture to the opening post until you first post the words, then I have found that once it’s on the forum you can go back and edit it and then include your picture/s.

You add photos on replies by clicking on the picture of a camera that says “Photo” just below the box you type in, then choose where the picture is coming from (usually for me it’s photo library) and clicking on the appropriate photo. Here’s one of my cats enjoying the box the new cat tower came in:

You can actually attach photos to the opening post of a thread without first posting and then editing :-) I have many times. You just have to wait long enough for the photo to upload fully before hitting 'submit'. It will first appear gray and blurry before the upload is complete, which can take a minute or two, sometimes more. Once it becomes fully clear, you are good do go.

And if it is of too large a size, that can impede the photo appearing. You may have to resize and try again.

I've never had trouble posting photos in original thread. Once you type the descriptive title, click on 'photo icon' (found below typing area) and select your picture from stored location. To post more than one photo, just click on 'photo icon' again and select another picture.

Thank you for the tips. Figured it out :)

I can't post pictures on the original post because there's no photo icon. Even if I try to edit it there is no photo icon. On any reply post there are the 2 photo icons and they work great. So just know that not everyone sees the same thing! It appears to depend on the device and possibly the browser. With my android phone I never see a photo icon on the original post.
