Greetings, I'm a long-time lurker and once buyer over this forum. I'm looking to start a classifieds for a bundle of military sabres - couple of quick questions.
I'm not exactly a business in that this is a lockdown hobby got out of hand, but I do have a business-like FB page on which I also post these swords. Do I post under members classifieds or business classifieds?
Secondly... how the hell do I insert images? Looking at the page to post and not seeing any means of doing so.
Regards Æ.

I can't help you with the rules, but as for pictures, you'll need to be on "desktop" version. Instead of "quick reply" on the left, click "reply," a maroon button above the text box on the right. The full editor pulls up. If you want to add a picture by URL (larger images), click the picture icon. If you want to upload a picture, there is an "add attachment" button just above the text box on the right, slightly above the other options.
Good luck with your sales!

I'm using a phone but should be able to get the desktop version. I'll probably stick it under classifieds as it's still principally a hobby.

You can use the desktop mode of the browser (or of the forum site bottom right which activates the desktop mode of the browser) with a smartphone without problems.

After logging in and getting the thread you want click the red “Reply” button in the upper right corner. Type your message and place the cursor where you wish to place your photos. Then click the “Add Attachment” button in the upper right. A new menu will appear and on the left side click “Add files”. Go to the photo in your files that you wish to post and highlight it then click the “Open” button found in the lower right. When the up load is complete the horizontal bar will turn green and two buttons “Insert” and “Delete” will appear, click your choice. You'll need to use the desktop site for uploading attachments so if you're on mobile scroll all the way down and tap the "Desktop" link at the very bottom of the page. The size of your attachment(s) will be limited to 1 MB. If greater reduce the size of the file or use a third party’s site such as Imgur, Photobucket, Flickr, etc. and transfer from there.

I just wrote out the whole post attaching AND linking photos from my Google Drive, prices etc. for a dozen lots. Hit the post button. Error our technicians are aware. Lost the whole thing and a good hour's work.

Garrr, I hate that. Whenever I have to fill out a long text box, if I think it won't take, I copy it to notepad just in case. Burned so many times... I feel your pain!
