Reasonably, I wasn't aware of that tutorial, perhaps there should be a link to it in the upload window?

It's the most complex image upload I have ever seen except perhaps for the Flicker one...  If such a tech savvy chap as Graham is having difficulty, what chance do I stand?   Usually you just browse for the image and select it, the forum software does the rest, which I suspect is where Graham is missing a step, I frequently forget to check the box to stop the image from going into the splash screen (if that's appropriate), then I have to delve into the gallery to make my mark!  I think there are still a few in the gallery which need marking.

While we are on the subject of uploading images, is there any way of setting the size of the uploaded image, I looked at the code which accompanies the image and there was a number 4 in the series of parameters, if that number was altered does that set the size of the image? If so is there some way of providing that control to the members?

I have to agree. Even though I know how to do it, the second Paste to editor stage seems an unnecessary step which can be overlooked. I also forget to tick the no splash box preference and have to get rid of images out of my gallery that were merely informative examples in posts.
