Issue inserting pictures...

I used to insert a picture from SmugMug but now the forum informs me that the URL is invalid. It is a perfectly valid URL and works everywhere else. Anyway, I then tried uploading fro my PC. That worked fine yesterday but today the progress window instantly show 10% complete and stays there forever.

How do I insert a picture?

Thanks, but I know how it is supposed to work but it doesn't for me.

Uploading from my computer worked yesterday but not today. Inserting from a URL hasn't worked since the new uploader was implemented.

I always lower my resolution on the phone, camera or whatever you are taking pictures with. The picture could have a high resolution which is causing your slow uploads.

Now the upload from my PC is working again but still get an "invalid URL" message when trying to insert from a URL. Oh, well, thanks for the help.

I've read this sticky before and it makes perfect sense if I could just find the Insert icon. When I do a "New Reply" or a "Quick Reply" either one I cannot find that icon anywhere.

That was a false alarm, it worked one time now it doesn't work again. I've been posting pictures to this site for years but now it won't work. Frustrating!
