Help
I am wanting to insert a picture of the ingredients to have it double checked by the pros on here and it won't allow me to browse my computer files to select a photo. Why is this? Why must we insert a URL? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I am clicking on the picture icon and then it tells me to insert URL.

because the site doesn't allow uploading images. (from a website admin perspective, there are a number of good reasons for this - storage volume, bandwidth, etc). you'll want to find a image hosting service (flickr, picassa, etc.), upload the image there, and then link to that url.

Tiffany may not be a moderator, but she has been here since day one. She got the gist of the issue bang on. 
Images in posts can cause a plethora of problems, and are not allowed here. Links to images on an image hosting service are. Tiffany mentioned a couple; I'll add that I use photobucket for this purpose.
