There are other ways, surely, but this is how I do it.
1) Put a copy of the photo on your desktop.
2) In this posting space, click on the little square on the top row, far right, that says "Insert image" if you hover over it.
3) At the top right corner of your computer screen, there's a "-", a square, and an "x".  Click the square so the page only takes up a part of the screen.  You can resize the page by clicking and dragging the edges.
4) Then click and drag the photo into the big box that says "Upload images".
5) Click submit like always.

Kent, I have a ton of pictures saved in file folders of my making online. I am assuming that is the same as "Photo Library?" If you have photo's grouped and saved online, that is from where you want to bring them to this site. This is what I do:

1. Click on that last image above your write/post box, the mountain as Geri showed.
2. Click on Upload Images.
3. Click on wherever you have your photo's filed.
4. Now click on the photo you want to share here.
5. Then click on "Open." Mine is in the lower right hand corner.
6. When you click Open, your photo should then show on RN.
.

(After you're able to post your picture(s), I will delete your questioning posts on how to do it) :rose:

With the new forum platform this may be subject to change. I will update this page when I can get to it.

Thank you everyone, with the upgrade new profile photos will have to be uploaded as we eliminated the need for BuddyPress to make things simpler. It is the only major gotcha so far that affects everyone.

@yayo Hello, look for My Profile at the top and you will see a little person symbol under the right of the banner photo, click that

Once there, look for Upload Avatar and then click Choos Photo and you can search for the photo on your computer.

If you still have issues I can assist with the upload.

Hi, I tried to do this, but I am not very tech-savvy.  I put it under my last post about Israel, but it was in a separate post.  Should I do it on this thread?

@patrician Hey Patricia, you are close but I can put it in your account for you. Thanks for your patience. The profile pic was our biggest conversion snag.

@rngeer 

Thanks so much!  I should have realized that it should have gone under my profile.  Would it be possible to delete the large photo in this thread and also under the Israel posts?

I've been able to access the old site to retrieve profile pictures for as many of you as possible but access is very limited. I will continue to try but feel free to upload your own too.
