  That's the button I was trying to use. When I click upload and select the image from my computer it has a circle that spins around in the middle and the image URL gets updated with some text. I've left it for about 20 minutes and the circle thing is still there as if it is thinking but nothing else happens. If i click insert, I get the strange icon.

  Any ideas?

  Hi,

  Does the image meet the size requirements? Have you been able to successfully post images before?

  I have tried using the Insert image icon to post an image and these instructions: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/ad942042-c17e-4837-8465-6c3115602053/how-to-post-an-image-or-screenshot-to-the-forum?forum=w7itprogeneral

  But all that happens is a small icon of a page with a green mountain appears instead of the image and if I try and submit the post it say "Unexpected error".

  In the instructions from the link above, it says to click the <> button, but I do not seem to have this icon. I have an html button, but putting the suggested text in there still results in the same icon.

  What am I doing wrong?
  
  

   

  Generally if you get the "Unexpected Error" message, you will have to reload the page in order to post your message.  Copy your text, refresh the page and then repost.  That should get it to work.

  Also, sometimes posting images can be very slow. If you waited more than 5 minutes, however, that is too long. I think the idea to refresh and try again is best. Unless there are limits I'm not aware of on size.

  The only limit I know of is the 1024KB size restriction (and the 2 images per post, but that wouldn't be relevant here).

  The image is within the size limits. I have tried many times to post with no luck. I've never been able to post an image.

  Perhaps your account is still unverified (even though you should get a notice about that). You can try posting in the verification thread here to see if that helps:

  Then I would email "fissues" at microsoft dot com. Explain your problem and include a link to your profile.
