Is it possible to post a picture within the content of the post itself if the file is stored locally on your machine? If I click the "insert picture" button I get an option to add a URL, but what if the file you want to post is not on the web and you only have it locally? Can you only add as an attachment in that case?

You can't add a picture (or anything else) using a local address on your own computer, because anyone else trying to view it will look for the file on their own computer. You need to either upload it to a server, or (probably better) store it here as an attachment.
I usually just store my pictures on my ftp site, then just link them. Attachments are stuck at the bottom of the page, sometimes you want the image specifically between/following text

I understand that you would not be able to link to a file stored locally on your machine, that would be silly, but I thought there might be a way to upload to electro-tech and then include it within the post. But you're saying you can't do that, which is fine - I'll continue using the attachments then.

Well, if you're able to do that wouldn't it be much nicer if you were able to click the "insert image" button and then browse to a picture on your own machine? It could then be uploaded to Electro-Tech and simply inserted into your post. The attachment option could still be kept for non-picture files of course.
Eric, I use the img tags. Get the URL of an image posted somewhere. For example, I posted this in the general electronics forum yesterday, but it could have been posted by others as well: h**p://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/brian-png.13019/
I've already removed the '?' and what follows, as Mike said.
Insert the URL between the img and /img tags.
