How do you embed a picture into your post from your computer? Ive read the FAQ and i do not have a "manage attachment" button anywhere in the "Post New Thread" area. Am i missing something here?

or click the "insert image" icon.


Like such:

So you cant upload a picture from your computer then? Has to be from a website?

Yup - unless you're running a webserver.

Pics.bbzzdd.com is a good image host, but you can only use it to host images for use on Anandtech's forums, and possibly one or two other places.

Ya, and don't hotlink images(directly linking to a pic from another site). It's bad netiquette, and you could find your picture replaced with something unfortunate ;^)

If you want a pic from another site. Download it, then upload to an image hosting service. I use imgur.com
