Hello.
 
How do I insert an image in a post? The Drupal editor seems entirely non-intuitive here, and when I use the insert image icon, I assume that I have to upload an image contained in a file to the server. However, that just hangs here. Please, all I want to do is to paste an image into a post... Advice needed and sought - clearly KeithB, Tom etc. have better skills than I do in this area!

Greetings Mark !
 
What happens when you click on the insert/Edit image icon ?
 
 
This dialog should appear :

Hello Armando.
 
There's nowhere in that dialogue to paste an image. So I click on Upload, browse to a file containing my image, and press Send to server. The editor hangs.

well, yes, you need to upload the image to the server. Ok so it seems that there's a connection problem with the server on your side. Here everything's fine... Wonder why it hangs.

I don't know why it hangs. I'm using my work notebook computer here, and it sports a disastrously compromised configuration that disables all sorts of useful functionality and has one processor continually tied up running BitDefender! I'll try and sort it out later today, when I've got my teaching done... But thanks for confirming that there is a problem!
