I have been having a major problem getting my Profile to show on the User profiles screen and do not seem to be able to get images from my computer to show in Preview Message although a "cut and paste" of the temp image file name does show that the image has been uploaded to the Kayak Forum server computer.

For years it used to be you had to link to pictures stored externally (ie some where on the internet). There was no image upload. That changed on the latest update. If you create a profile, there is a new option to "Upload embedded file" in line with the text. From the HELP! file: http://www.kayakforum.com/Help.html

You may include images in your posts by uploading pictures from your computer to the forum. As a registered user you will see the option to upload pictures just above the message box when you go to post a message. Click the button, locate your image on your harddrive and upload it. The message box will automatically include the link text require to show the image in line in your message. You can upload several images. The size of the images is limited. If you want to include a bigger image using the Optional Image URL described below.
