Problems inserting photos

    I am just about at the end of my rope.

    Need to insert photos into my posts. Can upload from the computer just fine…can see the TEXT NAMES of the images in the gallery (no thumbnails, etc.). When I click on “Show” nothing happens. There’s a brief flicker as though the gallery is refreshing, but that’s it. Nothing else.

    Also, there are no buttons saying “Insert” or any other direction that would indicate the image is being placed in the post.

    I’ve read endless posts in the forum, have tried to sort through the unsearchable directions for using WordPress, and am beyond frustrated.

    Am using the latest version of WordPress…Flash 9 (not 10)…don’t have any add-ons installed that break the uploader…tried this on both Firefox and Safari, to no avail….

    HELP.

    Would someone please reply to this request? I’m been in a holding pattern all day, and need to get this resolved.

    I’m using the browser uploader…Flash 9, not 10…Firefox 3.0.4…WordPress 2.6.5.

    The images upload to the gallery fine from my desktop…half the time. The other half of the time, it just hangs indefinitely, regardless of how small the image file is.

    When clicking on “Show” in the Gallery, nothing happens.

    Each time I leave the site, all images disappear from the Gallery.

    There is a small empty box/square to the left of “Show” labeled “Order”–no clue if that’s supposed to mean or do something.

    In all the posts regarding similar problems, I see other users mentioning an “Insert into post” button. No such button or language appears anywhere in the “From computer” section or Gallery window…the one in the “From URL” section is grayed out.

    When I click on the “Add an Image” icon in the visual editor, the ever-frustrating browser uploader window opens. If I click on the Gallery tab, I’m back to the “Show” button that does nothing and no button labeled “Insert into post.”

    I’ve looked endlessly on both the WordPress.com and .org sites for a Support link…have also searched my copy of WordPress for a similar link…nothing there either. I truly feel like I’ve been left all alone out here with no one to help.

    Please, please, please, please, please reply to let me know how to insert photos since this doesn’t appear to function as one would expect. If there’s user documentation written for people who don’t code for a living, that would be helpful too. Big time.

    Thanks……

    In WP 2.6.5, the link is a small square, gray button where it says “Add media”.

    Click on the add image button, click on “browser uploader” (I think it works better), select image, click “upload” button, the image url will be automatically loaded to the url line, (I personally don’t waste my time filling in description, title, etc. but you can if you wish), select a position button, select medium or full size and click on “insert” button.

    That should work, because I uploaded an image while I was typing this.
