    I can only upload via URL. If I try to drag images in it says "uploads are not available"

    Anyone else getting this?

    Let's see:
    image.jpeg

    Looks like it worked.

    [edit: I didn't try anything involving dragging...I tapped an upload button and then used a dialogue box...more buttons and clicking...?]

    On a windows machine, I right-click copied this .png from photoviewer and pasted it here. I can't do that on an iPad. :(

    There is a limit to how many direct pasted images you can put in a post - the external web hosted images allow you to putin more images. (photobucket, imageshack etc)

    They will usually give a number of weblinks for each image - I use the "direct" link, which looks like this http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/PCVa3j.jpg

    Note that it starts with "http" and ends with .jpeg (or .png or .gif or some other image file type) - if your link ends with something else, L-O may not know how to open it.

    If you have 4 link options do a test run (just PM me if you like) and embed all four to see what works and what doesn't.

    If you are copying something in L-O / editing, you may see an image shown as "View attachment 20440" If you cut and paste and move that around, it sometimes won't work in the new location. Copy the hyperlink instead.

    it's not available in personal messages.
    you have to use something like photobucket
    you get an image url for your pic.
