How does one go about putting photos in a post? I am obviously not using the Image button correctly?

You use the image button only if you have the web address of a downloaded pic.

i.e.

[Img]http://www.url-of-a-picture.com[/Img]

if the photo is not already online somewhere, you need to the "Attach File" link below and upload the image.

Hope this helps,

Mike P, as you're troubleshooting, a few other possibilities:

-- remove spaces from image link
-- avoid special characters in image link
-- shorten length of image link
-- verify image source allows linked viewing (I've had trouble with Google Picasa, so I move target to different host)
-- check syntax, for example: "<>" or "[]"; "url" or "img" or "link";
