OK, here goes with the click 'n drag method:

Hey, that worked!
 
I still cannot upload pictures using the "Upload a File" button, either on the main page or after clicking the camera icon.

I forgot about the "drag and drop" method. I'm getting too old to have to remember all these "tricks." It would be better if someone could just fix this feature so that it worked correctly.
 
I finally figured out the "Media" button at the top of the page, the one between "Reviews" and "Members." You can check if you have an "album" set up or not. If you have an album in place already, you can upload pics (Add Media) to your album. Then, once the pic is in the album, you click on the little "Camera" icon above text box like you're going to make a post. When you hover your cursor over it, it will say "Media Gallery Embed." Click on it and all your pictures in your album will appear. Select the one(s) you want and away you go.

Upload a file still doesn't work for me either even though my pic files show up.
 
Switched to Chrome browser. Let's see what buttons work. Huh, the "Upload a File" now works without setting up a Media album.

Now, lets try uploading a file I know for a fact is not in a Media album.

Yep, that worked. So I guess I'll be using Chrome from now on.
 
I've been unable to upload pics into existing threads. This is a test to see if I can upload pics into a new thread that I started. If I can, I'll try editing the thread and uploading a pic. So, let's see what happens.

Nope, I get an error message that reads: The following error occurred. There was an error uploading your file. Everything looks normal, the pic loads to 100%, then the error pops up on the screen. No matter what pic I try, I get the error. I have a Snip of the error, but I can't load it either.
