Yes, but after one photo, the buttons get hidden.
I want to post about a dozen.

As you can see I was able to add a 2nd picture using the edit facility on the original post.

I can not find a way of expanding the attatchment tabs for picture posting.

Only by using postimage (or any other host) the forum did automatically expand the vital boxes and I was able to use the forum's own picture posting method but it is a long winded way of doing it!

On my iPad I can add pictures but I have to do it before entering the text. Previewing the post reveals the attachment area again though it seems like the option to place images in the body of the text has gone and they can only be at the end.
From Safari on my Mac I haven’t been able to add pictures for a couple of months. As I had the iPad workaround I haven’t bothered to work out why.

I put some text in the reply box and posted it but then went into the edit function and the Upload attachment tabs were in full view so was able to then add an image while my post was in edit model and I see while I am typing this, the Upload attachment is in full view!

So until we get the VBD fully fixed there is a way of posting comments and images to the open forum when replying to a member's post.
1, Click on the Reply tab.
2, Scroll down to the 6 check boxes and make sure a tick is in the 3rd and 4th box.
3, Type your text in the reply box area and click Submit (or preview for checking spelling etc).
4, View your post and then click the EDIT tab towards top right of your post (the first icon in the row).
5, The Upload attachment tab should be in full view so now click it and do your usual picture uploading. Don't forget to do a final Submit click.
This method has worked for me and maybe other members so far but It is not a method for multiple picture uploads simply because of the time it takes.
I can still use postimage to get images on the forum so maybe using third party picture hosting will do for now if the above does not work for you!
