Still can't upload photo in modern

I'm still scratching my head about this so I'll describe what I do and you tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I've been doing this on my PC but this morn I tried posting with Marilyn's laptop and had no results.
1. Type in a subject
2. Scroll down to ADVANCED POSTING TOOLS
3. Click on the UPLOAD PHOTO caption on the top of the window
4. When I click on UPLOAD PHOTO , FORUM POST UPLOAD will appear.
5. I click BROWSE and options from the C drive on my compuker will appear.
6. Click PICTURES and the photo files come up.
7. Click on the photo I want and it highlights.
8. Click OPEN and the photo should transfer to the little approval box.
This is where I can't go any farther. The pic doesn't transfer to the little box. Once again, I tried this on Marilyn's laptop and it didn't work. I unplugged the router and plugged the internet wire straight into the computer and it still didn't work. My internet provider has sent me a couple of emails informing me of emergency repairs they have had to perform. Last night a whole bunch of back dated emails showed up. My next option is to call the provider but I'm going to let you guys critique my procedures before I call them. I do hope you embarass me and find something wrong with the process I've been using.

Yeah, That's how I do it

You aren't going far enough. It won't show up in the thumbnail until you press upload, and me, continue to press or tap 'upload. The http crud is then in a box, ready to upload, and that doesn't happen fast. And when you see the thumbnail pic, click continue, even if you don't want to add more pics. I see no use for modern unless there is an arguement, and you want to easily see who said what first!

Thanks, Tony. I was 'one brick short of a full load'. Jim

Cripes. I hope you didn't spend 3 days trying up upload that thing! It is a lathe isn't it?

When I use the Advanced Posting Tools it takes me to "My Documents". I copy pictures that I want to post from My Pictures to My Documents.
I used tinypic.com for posting pictures and it would also take me to My Documents.

The Advanced Posting Tools is quicker. Hal

I'm creating a post in tool talk explaining it. It's a pipe threader and it weighs 5000 pounds. Jim

You have the steps out of order I think
Move numbers 3 & 4 down under 5,6 & 7 thats how it goes in this forum.
You can;t upload it til you have browsed and found it

I have never been able to post pics here without posting them somewhere else first so I will try a test or two using these instructions. I apologize in advance for the mess!

WOW, it worked!
See you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks

Thanks guys. I should have gone one simple step farther. It's always gotta be something simple and obvious. Jim

You are not the first nor will you be the last..
