I promise I looked for a post that directly speaks to this issue, but to no avail!!!

I use either my ipad or hp laptop when on this forum. I'm expecting to be able to simply copy a picture (jpeg) from either my desktop or photo alblum, go to my reply to thread window and do a right click paste, right? but when I right click, paste is not an available function like it is when I'm pasting text???

I was able to go to the manage attachment button under additional options, but, that results in a link. I'd like to be able to post the picture itself.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
