Is there a way to attach an image to a post without having a smaller thumbnail duplicate of the image at the bottom of the post?

Like this Cuppa?

Are you using a browser or phone app?

[Cuppa]

Yep, just like that. Browser on laptop

Select

"Reply to thread"
"Go Advanced"

Select the "paper clip icon" then "Add files" then "Browse"
Search for where your files are located on the HDD.........hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key to select multiply images then select "Open" then Select "Upload" then select "Done" when they finish uploading

Then next to the paper clip there is a down arrow, select it and it should come up with a file name and just click on it.

Hope I got that right!

Thanks, Im guessing it must be a bit different on a Mac? I get the dialog box shown, but 'select files' does nothing, so I have to use 'Basic uploader' which results in a thumbnail duplicate, same as if I try to use 'File upload manager' via 'Manage attachments'. Same in both browsers I use (Safari & Firefox). Also even small pics get shown much larger in the final post like in this one. Generally I use a web hosting service (Fickr) which allows me to size pics, but if I just want to do a quick upload I always get a result like this post.

Previous post was using "insert pic' , this one using 'Attachments' (Paper clip) - same result.

Edit: I just edited your post cuppa 2 how it should be *L*

Its either a Mac thing or your doing something wrong Cuppa, I can do it both ways without it displaying a thumbnail.

Do you want me to PM you my mobile number so you can give me a call and I'll run you through it.

I just edited your posts and it is wrong for what it should look like when inserting an image

nah that also happens with me using windows but then again I rarely upload photos and what not from a puter

Cuppa are you using from computer or from url? If from url are you selecting the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally"

Edit, I'm guessing its not URL as I just tried it and just linked the file and never showed anything

[Cuppa]

From computer. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. (First two screenshots posted via Flickr for clarity)

1. Click Insert Image/ Add files (Browse computer & select pic)



2.Click upload & uploaded file appears in the lower attachments box



3. If I then click 'Insert inline' the post has the full size image and the thumbnail. If I click 'Done' only the thumbnail gets posted like this.
