I'd like to create a post using an image I have already uploaded and used in another post. When I start a new topic or reply, there a no files available in the attachment system menu. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Karen

If I understand you, you want to use a photo from one topic, in another topic--not a photo from one post, in another post from the same topic. Is that right?

If so, you can right click over the image, select "copy image location", paste it into your new post/topic, and surround it with the image tags. Image tags are the first after the smilie buttons.

One could argue that evolution suggests we’re not idiots, but I would say, “Well, no. Evolution just makes sure we’re not blithering idiots."

Thanks, that will fix the problem. I did see the "insert special item" box in the formatting menu, but maybe I was just feeling too lazy to go back and copy a location ( I don't think so, I think I didn't know how to do it.)

I'll read the tutorial.

Not to worry. That very well might be the most complex question, I've ever been asked, here, at the forum. :P
