I am sure the answer to my question is somewhere in this forum. Does anybody know how I could find it?-how to attach a picture to a post.
Thank you so very much.

The above link explains how to use an external location to post photos.

To attach them here to a post, they need to be under 50kb in size currently. If the file size is larger, it won't attach to your post.

Seems to me it would be much easier to have a direct "attach files" button right on here.
Click on "attach files", say from "photos", attach and post the message along with the photos.

There is, but it limits photos to less than 50 kb in file size... It can be a chore to reduce nice photos to that tiny size without compromising the quality or making it so small in visual size, it is worthless. Also, you can only post one picture per Nomad post using the attachment button.

By using a remote photo hosting site, the photos can be high quality and good viewing size, plus you can post several photos on one Nomad post. Nomad requests that the photos from another site be limited to 800 pixels in width, however. There is an option choice on these photo sites to pre-select a size... 640 pixels wide is perfect for most photos.
