Is it possible to embed images into a post from my computer?

AI Thread Summary
Embedding images directly from a computer into posts is not possible; users must upload images instead. The forum allows image uploads via the "Upload a File" button, which can then be embedded using the "Full Image" option. While users cannot access their computer files directly, attachments can be used to enhance posts, provided they do not replace the main content. The rules permit attachments for supplementary purposes, such as sketches, but they should complement the written problem. Future updates could consider enhancing image embedding capabilities based on user feedback.

Hello,

Is there a way to embed images into a post that are uploaded from my PC? I know you can embed images if you give the URL, but I would like to be able to embed images that are stored on the computer. If this is not possible, I would make a suggestion that if technically possible, then to make it possible in future updates to the sites.

Since the rules forbid posting images as attachments for the homework question statement, at least I could embed the image into the post itself

Use the Upload a File button on the bottom. Once it's uploaded, you will see it below the post that you're working on. Click the Full Image button and it will display in your post like this:

Note that if you click the Preview button, you won't see it. It will show up in your post correctly though.
 
Okay got it, thanks

We cannot access your computer, if you want to show a picture you have to upload it. The attachments here are the most convenient option.

That does not make a difference.
The rules do not forbid to post an attachment - but the attachment should not replace the written problem in the post, it can only help for sketches and so on.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
