I see an option to add attachments, but it seems random how they get posted (mostly zoomed way in). Is there a different way? May be related to the recent issues on viewing/enlarging photos?

Examples:
Here is a link to the method you are suppose to use when posting pics.

This method automatically resizes the pics, the method you used does not and it's mainly for adding PDF files to your post. This has nothing to do with the problem we were having last week.
Yes, that is how I usually do it. Unfortunately, there is no “Add image to post" option when I create a post/thread. I’d share a screen shot but…

OK, I see what you mean, I thought this was fixed but they did tell me they had to remove that old system and install a new one, it must be taking longer than they said. If they don't get it up and running today, I'll contact them again.
Until they get it fixed, you can use the system you used but as you found out, all pic will need to be resized.
Post image pics are working for me today. So hopefully the issue has been resolved

You can see and enlarge the existing pics, I just don't see the "add image to post", function, can you see it?
Oh I was just pulling up already posted pics that wouldn't open up last week. Haven't tried posting a pic

I don't even see that feature any more, hopefully it's temporary. Undecided

It's working on iceshanty. I agree, I hope it gets put back up. So much easier to post pics

Years ago, before BFT got that auto resizer feature, the mods had to resize the pics that members posted, it was a pain without it.

I have tried this using Microsoft Edge browser.  Where in the heck is the "add image to post" button that you speak of?  I think I'm very competent when it comes to computers, but I have yet to figure this out.  On the tool bar above, there are a bunch of icons.  The only icon I can see is one that "insert an image" and when I click on that, my only options are:  it asks for a URL location and shows width & height (both say optional).  I can't believe I am doing something wrong, but I must be.  Perhaps post a "how to add image" post with screen shots so we know what button you are reference and where it is located.  THANKS Curt.  Sorry to keep being such a pain, but this site is really agrivating me to no end trying to figure this out.  

When I open a pic on my computer and then click on it and copy it, then past it into my post, it won't work since the site then says the post is too large.  Even with resizing the picture to something small, it gives me that same message.  W

Finally, what internet browser are you using that works with BFT.  I've tried several and keep getting the same messages.

I've never tried Edge, I've only use Chrome but msn outlook works as well. When the "add image to post" feature starts working again, I'll take a pic, to show you where it is but basically, it's right below where to type in a post, all by itself in blue letters. Sorry the site is giving you such a hard time Scott.
The add image has disappeared here too.
OK, looks like they got it working.
These pics are from above that joatmon posted

It looks like the BFT people fixed the "add image" issue. I was able to post a picture for the first time in many months. HOWEVER, in the tool bar near the top under the post, it still shows a little icon that says "add image". I've tried using that and it still does not work and frankly not sure why it is even on the tool bar? To add an picture to your post, just start a post, then type what you want to say, then immediately BELOW the box to the LEFT is a little, blue colored "P" symbol with the words "Add image to post". Click on that and another box will open up which allows you to find a picture on your hard drive (or phone). Select the image and it is added to the post. Why there is still a toolbar with and "add image" is simply confusing.

That tool bar location for adding pics is for those that want to add a URL from another location that host your pics, it's not for those that add pics from your phone or PC.
